MRI-NIRVANA

This morning went for an MRI scan of my back.It was such a lousy experience.For starters it was claustrophobic and it was so noisy.I had to stay still without moving.What an awful experience.That moment in the dungeon,I recalled the icon of Vaitheeshwaran linga,located at Poonamalee.I pushed my brain to convert the constant drone of the machine into sounding like ram ram.I recalled the icon of Veera Anjaneyar at Mylapore.These icons gave me the strength to pull through the tedium.So I guess faith and the externalization of faith the icons are there for us to tap our inner preserves of strength.Well,I know all I'm talking about is just an MRI,but I did not like it one bit.So thanx to all the icons my mind had to draw from to steady itself.

The Best Sapad in town

I would recommend Krishna Restaurant 's South Indian Thali.The sapad here is wholesome and economical and pure vegetarian.This afternoon's menu was eriseri,thair pachadi,dal,dhaniya rasam,sambar,malabar aviyal,potato curry,thick yogurt,pineapple halwa,pooris and rice.All this in unlimited quantity.They also just pour lots of ghee into the rice.The pickles and sundaka vetha kolambu is kept ready on the table to dig in.The thali is priced at Rs 72,which is quite affordable.The food tastes great just like home made meals.At the end of it all they also serve ice cream,which is made in house alongside beeda.There is absolutely no waiting period,once the thali is served.So for express yummy meals,check this place out. This is located at New Woodlands Hotel (P) Ltd72-75,Dr.Radhakrishnan Road,P.B No 626Mylapore, Chennai-India

Filter Coffee at Park Sheratons Dakshin

The South Indian Filter Coffee at Dakshin is simply the best.I also love their banana dosa which they offer as part of the thali .The pictures here are of the kulfi,hot chocolate and the South Indian Filter Coffee served in a silver tumbler.
