Life is all about creating and dealing with abstractions. Most typically, you are mangled mesh of desires, dreams, and ambitions; but to the world, you are a great friend, son or husband. So, its fair to say that life is an illusion.

A meaningful whole
At Sangam, our abode, I head the Gastronomy Centre of Excellence (also called Culinary Competency Centre), where our constant endeavor is to take cookery beyond basic survival needs, and to derive continuous flow experiences out of the fine art of cooking. Ingenuity fuels most of our creations, hunger is a mere bystander.
Sangam NoodlesTM is the latest feather on our cap. (For the academically interested, this is a marriage of Top Ramen curry, Maggi Sambhar, and Atta noodles respectively)
Tried and tested, satisfaction guaranteed.
Other GCoE Fellows:
Chaatu - Resident Prof, mentor and certification authority
Venks - Effectively uses GSM & Bluetooth technologies for cooking, practices Agile methods. Also the force behind our trademark name.
Satheesh – The silent maestro, efficient inventory management, hygiene expert.
The Sangam NoodlesTM Metaphor: Unrelated moments in life combine to form a meaningful, enjoyable whole.

Being a link in the chain
I guess tagging is a sort of a “manual virus”. But, it is a good thing and I am up to it.
1. Are you happy/satisfied with your blog with its content and look?Does your family know about your blog?
My blog layout and styling is very simple and I like it that way. Content – well that is a sophisticated collection of sundry musings, which largely may not make much sense. Again, I like it that way.
My parents are thankfully oblivious of terms like blogging or coding. There are happy to just know that I work on a computer.
2. Do you feel embarrassed to let your friends know about your blog or you just consider it as a private thing?
I think a “Private Blog” is an oxymoron. I guess the very idea of blogging is to vent out the categorical nonsense in your head. If you have a blog, I think you should be proud of it.
3. Did blogs cause positive changes in your thoughts?
Not thus far, I guess. But, it is a good thing to read your own archive and muse over your thought process in retrospect.
4. Do you only open the blogs of those who comment on your blog or you love to go and discover more by yourself?
I usually don’t go about discovering new blogs. Sometimes, I do read the blogs of those who have left some interesting comments.
5. What does visitors counter mean to you? Do you care about putting it in your blog?
It used to; not anymore. Watching my blog traffic used to give a kind of a kick. These days, my interest in those numbers is comparable to my interest in world history. I do have a counter on my blog - only because it is free!
6. Did you try to imagine your fellow bloggers and give them real pictures?
Not really - I don’t think I use my blog as a social networking medium. All my fellow bloggers are good friends of mine.
7. Do you think there is a real benefit for blogging?
Well yes. These days, Blogging is used for such things like relief activities, raising funds etc. Blogging has morphed into a very powerful medium of communication. My blog, however, consistently continues to be quite useless that way.
8. Do you think that bloggers society is isolated from real world or interacts with events?
I don’t think so. As internet is getting more & more pervasive, Blogging is slowing getting weaved into the fabric of our lives, very much like e-mail, or mobile phones today.
9. Does criticism annoy you or do you feel it's a normal thing?
I suppose not. On the contrary, it is welcome. It would broaden my perspectives I guess.
10. Do you fear some political blogs and avoid them?
Not really. Albeit political, some blogs could be very interesting (or amusing)!
11. Did you get shocked by the arrest of some bloggers?
I was surprised to know that. But again, this fact underscores the power of the blogging medium.
12. Did you think about what will happen to your blog after you die?
Nopes. My blog would just be one my worthless legacies.
13. What do you like to hear? What's the song you might like to put a link to in your blog?
This is a very difficult question. I listen to almost every type of music. Well, if I really have to pick up one, I would choose Metallica's One.
I am passing the tag I got from Mr.Mitra to Asha and Neel.
