The girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes

This is an Interesting video I came across in Youtube.com. The speech was given by this girl in the UN Meeting on Issue of Environment. This happened in 1992. :-)

Tandoori Chicken

Being in US, I used to really miss the hotel food in India. One of my favorites there is Tandoori chicken from Hotel Pallava's in Tuticorin. Still when my sister calls me after her dinner there, my stomach used to burn. But from now on I need not worry, coz I have learnt to make spicy Tandoori chicken at home..

We had a great dinner yesterday with Rice and Tandoori chicken. Mouth watering..... Right.

Strawberry Picking

I have always loved to eat Strawberries. Even my favorite flavour in Ice-cream is Strawberry. Some of the few advantages being in USA is getting to eat fresh strawberries. Picking our own strawberry from the farm is even more exciting.


We went to Parlee's Farm in Chelmsford. It was such a nice experience. The moment we entered the farm, I could smell the fresh smell of strawberry. I picked up one basket and started my hunt. My husband was surprised that I did not pick two baskets. :-)

It came upto 7 pounds of strawberries when I finished picking. Finally a dream came true.......

Internet Timepass

I did not know how much I was depending on Internet until one day when the Internet did not work due to bad weather. I missed it so much that I did not know what to do to pass my time. I think many of the Indian H4 visa holding housewives in US will be doing the same. In this post I just wanted to share some of my favorite and time passing sites.

Tamil Serials
Those who watch serials in India will certainly miss the serials. But there are some site which upload the serials and programs within hours after it is actually tele-casted in India.
www.isaitamil.com --- Here are the sun tv serials, programs and some vijay tv serials are uploaded daily.
www.usertube.com -- Here the major Vijay tv serials and programs are updated regularly.

Tamil Films
There are many sites where tamil movies are uploaded within weeks or days after release. But I watch them on two sites.
http://www.aarampam.com/ and http://www.techsatish.com/. The second one has a whole collection of old and new movies with good print.

Cooking sites
I love to cook recipes which are made in Indian restaurants and are not available in US easily. My most favorite site is http://www.vahrehvah.com/ . Here the chef cooks superb dishes and videos are also available.
http://www.spiceindiaonline.com/ is also a wonderful site with lots of images describing the recipe.

Gaming sites
Games online is the best way to pass time. I love to play in http://www.king.com/. The site contains many games including multi player games.
Recently in have come across a Microsoft site http://www.club.live.com/ which gives tickets for the games you play and which can be redeemed for prizes with free shipping.

So if you ever have an Internet and did not know what to do, go to any of these sites and enjoy. Happy Browsing.........
