Good Genes and Good Jeans
Thank you for all your wishes, first of all. Can't believe, solid 30's is here!.
The fun part about my birthday is that according to Hindu tradition of starting of the day, I was born on Poila baishakh, Bengali new year but in english its 15-April. Confused, well I was born at 3.55am, according to hinduism, a new day starts at 5 am, but its already the next day according to general rule of thumb. Hence I get wished both days, usually family wishes me on Bengali new year, the 14 Apr.So the bottomline is that a birthday a year is fun, I have two and its double the fun.
But I am told I don't look I am in my thirties. Is that good or bad, I don't know,perhaps good better than bad....... If you ask me what the secret is, its just " Good Genes" and a really Good pair of skinny, bottom hugging Jeans!

Aadhar card- The longest queue by Far!
"Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identification (UID) number which the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is issuing for all Indian residents. The UID number is stored in a centralised database and linked to the basic demographics and biometric information – photograph, ten fingerprints and iris – of each individual"

World Cuisine at Auroville
For dinner, it was time to turn French! We were at “MANGO HILL”, a beautiful hotel with a charming restaurant lovingly run by a French family. The swimming pool of the hotel was especially inviting. We ordered Roasted ham with lightly grilled vegetables for moi & Fish a la Setoise with french fries & garden salad for mon amie. Sadly though, no drinks on the menu ….so had to make do with half a bottle of wine back at the guest house.
The next day afternoon we made runs & reruns to & fro Matri mandir in the quest of finding our next cuisine, Greek! But when we reached there after crossing endless silent forests and lonely roads, the café was closed…for 15th August!!!!! Now what can possibly be the connection between a baklava or a moussaka & our Independence Day??? Ah well sometime can turn out to be a blessing in disguise…for then we settled for a restaurant called “TANTO’S”. Now we were not looking for Italian again but the fresh wood oven baked pizza at Tanto’s were delicious…So was the grilled grouper with fresh salad…Che Buono! The Mango sorbet was to die for!
The last evening at “LE CLUB”, Pondicherry was the time for Creole food washed with good beers. Who would have thought of Creole food in India…I guess India can surprise Indians too at times!!
Food for thought: Some people say that while on a holiday, food should be the last thing on the mind. But amidst the thrill of seeing new places, meeting new people, starting a journey or arriving at a new destination… isn’t trying out different food & cuisines also a part of the experience, another chapter of the exploration? I think so….
