Things that I didn't know I'll miss: (in no order, so don't judge me!)
- 'Semmozhi' song being played in continuous loops on TV - when it was played yesterday on TV, I realized that I hadn't seen the video in one whole week, almost blasphemous in TN nowadays!
- Normal Bollywood songs - Set Max, 9X etc..
- An interesting Tamil Reality show like Airtel Super Singer - the Sangeetha Maha Yudham is crass!
- Mixie - at least to grind coconut
- ever silver tumbler - so that you get that froth on the coffee
- ever silver karandi - feels very vaaku, these peengon and plastic things are useless
- thayir saadam - I never knew I'd miss this one
- Short Power cuts - for that edge of unpredictability that adds spice to life!
- Time to read English and Tamil fiction - I actually do get it, this is a vetti point
- Physical Hindu newspapaer - the e-version just doesnt feel the same!
- Grand Sweets Pepper Rasam mix - it takes painfully long to make the rasam on my own!
Things I have an overdose of:
- Unlimited Internet and hence, too much connectivity all the time - so ppl dont miss me even!
- Formal clothing and a clean shaven face - I've started liking this though :)
- AC AC all the time - bring on the normal fans I say!
- Too much Tamil around the place - but a lot of the Tams here speak the 'la' Tamil and it sounds like crazy!
However, I knew I'd miss Madras, Bangalore and all you ppl out there :) - And no, am not missing the IIM Bangalore mess food, just those monsoons!

Hi, I will send you the things you want through mama when he returns from India. Interesting blog from you after a long time
Yeah, I second Amma. A very interesting post from you after a loonnnnnnngg time :). I disagree one of your points though. Even though you've too much connectivity, still all of us miss you a lot!
I miss doing the crossword on hindu or rather metro plus. I still miss it!
Well, most of the stuff you will grow into it if you stay long enough and even appreciate some.
BTW, its been a while since i heard "ever - silver" during growing up, for a while i did not realize the meaning.
Nice post, I hope your having fun!
