Dining @ Sachin ka Dhaba
Posted on January 17, 2009, under Miscellaneous.
After a very long time, we(Perumal, Rajha Prabhu & myself) met and as usually discussed few things (which is of no use, but a chit chatting)and it was really really good nice meeting though!
After the initial meetup, we went had a tea in a tea stall and we went back to Rajha’s house and discussed few things and time was flying like anything. Finally the clock ticked to 9′O clock and we all buzzed each other to decide where to have the dinner and on the way, Perumal catched up Sachin Ka Dabba, which is on the main road to the kodambakkam.
We went there and to our surprise, the waiters gave the newpaper. We all thought it was a news paper and inside the page, the 2nd page, it was the menu and it was quite unique i.e. the menu designed on the news paper stuff.
We order the following and it was good:
1. Tandoori Naan
2. Tomato Soup
3. Veg Makkanwala
4. Veg Kadai
5. Gobi Manchurian Dry
6. Veg Pulao
and finally 2 Gulfi Ice.
And to all, it was a nice feast and we all were full. Will visit again to this place, shortly.
Cylone ‘Nisha’ thrashes Chennai
Posted on November 29, 2008, under Miscellaneous.
A Cyclone named Nisha, had thrashed chennai by its continuous rain for the last 3-4 days and i was like a house arrest and was not able to get out to office.
All the 3 sides leading to my way to office (Koyambedu, Saligrammam, Vadapalani) was cut off due to water logged upto the hips and all warned me not to venture into it as my bike would be off cos of hip level water was logged.
This rain has put the lives of Chennaihood in a question mark. All the roads connecting to others places has been totally cut off and people were roaming here and there it all looked like a war zone. This year, fortunately we moved to other place and thus we were safe and the water has not entered into our house. Thank God!
Here are the few pictures that i took.
