Circle: The set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a given point O.


Hi all(who is the all? One or two poor souls who still read my blog:-))

I never ever thought I would be able to make perfect Dosas. As in round in shape, thin and crispy.
I didn't get much of a chance to try and make Dosas when I was in my home town. I even blogged about the various shapes of Dosa I make and how each turn up in the shape of each continent. After moving out of house, came the need to start cooking. So I was introduced to cooking and kitchen. Plastic surgery would have invariably been done on every Dosa I make. 4 months and I think I had given up.
I was proved wrong today. Made around 15 Dosas. Every Dosa was perfect, no plastic surgeries!! Crispy too!! Just like how my mom makes. That made my day! May be a very small thing for many. But an accomplishment for me. The challenge is in keeping it up consistently:-)

Disclaimer: The picture of Dosas is not of what I made today, they were even better than these:-) I pulled it from here.

Calvin rocks!(Hobbes too)

When I was in school, I used to read "Dennis, the menace", comic strip in "The Hindu". And I liked it.
Now, pretty recently I've started reading "Calvin and Hobbes", And I am LOVING it. Oh, how did I miss this all these years. But then in these 2-3 months, I've completed all the 80s collection of CnH. And now into the 90s collection.
The parts in which Susie Derkins comes are so so cute. The way Dennis thinks and expresses are sometimes so brilliant, and Hobbes' maturity in tackling Calvin is legendary. Not to forget two poor souls, aka, Calvin's parents:-)
Calvin's innocence, his cliched things like insurance, UFOs, making new machines, dinosaurus, hate-for-girls, love-for-mom, hate-for-bath, hate-for-rosalyn, Ms.Wormwood, his imaginations with wierd creatures, boy , I am loving this.
Calvin, you rock!!
