Avial reciepe

Suddenly I saw a lot of fighter jets moving zig-jag on the sky and taking sharp cuts. It was around evening time and the beach area had a very scenic look. I was with some of my friends & colegues. Just 50 feets from where I'm standing there was a open restaurant and a good amound of crowd, both indian and foreigners. From the right side of the restaurnat I could hear the lectures on chemistry, not sure why now and why mr.Nataraj is doing that. He was my school time chemistry teacher.Ok lets come to that chemistry latter, mean while things that scared me is its only me who was noticing the events.Now number of fighter jets in the sky has gone up. Yes now I could see jets in black from all the directions. I could see two varieties of flights, part of them in light blue (or white?) color and the rest in black. The population of the black is growing signifiganly. The black jets are trying sorround to the white and start firing. It is by the emission of sharp white light that convinced me that they were fighters. To some extent I could guess that the black ones seems to be indian and trying to pin-down the aliens - probably US / Pak. Still people around me didn't notice a thing.

It was yesterday when all the airports in India, well all south Asian, contries were put on red-alert, Based of some intelligence info that a major flight hijack has been planned. Should I connect that to what I see now??

But why people around me are adamantly not willing to see this?. A small gathering near to me were happyly enjoying their evening wine. I have too many things runnign in my brainat the same time. I never been in such mixed feelings before. I couldn't continue enjoying the evening sun-set and the nice beach around me. What should I do now ?? Tell..Yes tell this to some one, my mind is racing. Make people aware of what is happening. But nobody were in a mood to listen , yes I tried to point this to people around but strangley I fail. Nobody even bothering to listen to me.

Meanwhile intensity of the fight is growing. At one instant when a bunch of black fighters approached an other bunch of white ones - an amazing thing happened, within a fraction of seconds a majority of the whit-one clung together to form a bigger "thing" - similar to a fighter but bigger in size. It looked like a huge mechanical - bird in the sky - 50 time bigger than the other black ones in front. Its like watching the star-wars in real. I have to tell this to someone. Some of the flights are falling down - probably the damaged ones,in the sea. I could see a number of navy boats reachin the spot. Yes, Navy boats in the beach. Is the Navy always here, and just that I never noticed ? or., were they here for some 'special' occasion ??

With the air force the Navy and some fighters am almost convinced that some major thing is happening. I wanted to see what is happening on the boats that rushed, I slowly moved towards the the beach, where I could see some navy - officers. To my surprise, I noticed one of the officers in that was Mridul...Yes he was my ex-PM in my previous employer. I never knew he joined Navy. For some unknow reason, I remember Arvind, who has just gone in to the restroom where I was initially wathcing all these incidents. Yes, he is the person who I should tell, probably he will listen to my and could get his help. I rused towards the rest room. I noticed that the restroom, though kept at the posh-beach, it almost resemebled the one in my old house. The door, the steps, the knob and the opening at the top of the door..everything. Before I could knock the door, Arvind came out of the door. He was sick, he mentioned this sometime back. Some trouble in breeting.

I hurried in telling him what I'm seeing. Strangely I could see the things behind me even though am facing Arvind. Yes some more machine-birds are forming against the black fighters. It was Mr. Nataraj, my school time chemistry-teacher behind me, who made me stopp abruptly and turn back.He is asking " perinagam..(Yes that bugger never called my name right..Grrrr. Well this is not the time to dispute about this). Can you explain me the application of Markowinkoff rule in halagon compounds ". I was baffled, going mad.

What is happening.when there is a such a war goign on .. you guys cant see that..I felt like tearing my hair..and I was about to do so..oops a severe ache on my palm ..My God wat is this pain. what happened to my hand.. Oh yes this is the injury due to the minor accident two days ago on Taverikari road Bangalore. Now I could feel a thick bandage on my left palm and a bright saturday 10:30 morning sunlight on my face..and I was pressing on my wound in my palm..!!! I was in my bangalore house and on my cot with a severe pain on my palm.

Mind, it has made an amazing receipe for avial (avial is a tasty curry made out of all the vegetables and curd, usally made on some special occasions) from my previous (or should I say precious) thoughts and presented me on that morning.
Let me attempt to put pieces in place. Or let me recreate, consciously, what mind had done when I was in my sub-conscious sleep.

I was watching "the beach show" in traveling & living last night featuring Australia. Was talking to Aravind who was sick and having some breathing trouble - hence Aravind on this receipe.Remember the news that all airports are kept on red-alert - this explains why all flights.Dont know where my chemistry-teacher and old house came from.

May be I should validate with V.Ramachandran for the connections I made.

Away we go

I love to travel. I like being in the move most of the time. And to my luck, my job & recent projects are such that I was having a pretty good time in seeing places. Been to US, East, west, and south parts. Singapore & Malaysia and a short stint to Europe too. Recently am wondering of living in Europe, specifically London. Though interested in travelling, am little hesitant in settling in some place, say US, for a while..for various reasons. But when someone who I know settles abroad - well not settling, I should say a 'long-term' - part of me feels jealous (a common man huh!!). I want the obvious wow-factor of foreign - the money, the car, the infastructre, the weekends and life. But without too much of alienation. Yes, I know its, too much to ask!!
I think this kind of fight should be in for everyone, I suppose.

What is the best place to live and raise ur family !! THis is exactly the quesion and confusion of Brut & veronica too.They decided to shortlist their options and check one by one. Their cousins, friends and relatives places are some of them. Travelling to each such places, they realised that each one of them is having a peculiar problem or issue which makes our couple indecisive - to move-on for the next in the list. Guess what they finally liked !! Watch it, its a fun movie, with a simple touching climax and a message in it.

I realized "Sam Mendes" directed this movie. Talking about this guy, one should watch "Revolutionary Road" - A fantastically made Drama.
Piece of adivce, have a comedy movie along with this :) I dont want to be cursed of not getting sleep !!
