Musings of an Idiot

Holiday!!!!

It finally felt like a holiday today - did nothing major. We did watch 'King Kong' yesterday night and it still felt a tad long towards the end. Even then it is such a major achievement creating 'Kong' who is definitely the highlight of the movie and the movie also made a lot more sense after seeing the behind the scene feature on 'Skull Island'.

I thought I would try and do something random, so I decided that I will try and capture something which was definitely not part of my culture in India. A tough task considering that it was a holiday but I got lucky and found some kids skateboarding and biking. Skateboarding is definitely not common in India and neither is BMX/city biking (atleast it wasn't 3 years back). I took a few pics - will share a couple of them. So that was my mission accomplished for the day.



I also got out 'Xmen Legends' - a video game for PS2 since I couldn't find any really good new releases at the video store. Gaming kind of makes sense and the future will most probably be a hybrid of sorts between video games and normal movies. Interactive is the key word and at this point live action interactive ventures seem cost prohibitive but it will happen soon. I played 'Xmen' for a good 3 hours odd before I got up to try and do some more experimentative cooking.

I think today's dish was the most experiemental I got and I had no idea what I was going to make (as usual). I can't even try and write a reciepe for it as I added the ingredients in different order and at different cooking times. To give a normal name to the dish I would choose 'Coriander Pepper Chicken' as the 2 major ingredients were chopped coriander and freshly crushed pepper. The result - yummmm... i think I put in a little extra salt as the dish definitely has a slighlty salty taste combined with a nice hot tang to the chicken. But I am not worried because it would go really nice with some white rice.

Hope everyone had a good holiday break. I am off to eat some dinner.
Ta,
