Wish You A Heavy Metal Christmas

I am going off on a break for Christmas and should be back on the 29th, before New Years. Couple of weddings, time with family and some good food probably awaits me. I hope all of you enjoy this season and keep on Rocking. Once again, wish you a HEAVY METAL CHRISTMAS.

Meanwhile, enjoy this version of 12 Days of Christmas.

Weekend Food

When I am really bored on a weekend, it can make me experiment with food. Nothing really fancy, but just stuff you can make with the average ingredients you can find in most kitchens. It does not get simpler than roasted chicken, which was marinated for 2 days, roasted in the oven along with baby potatoes, onions and tomatoes.

My brother is more of the dessert person, and it's pretty amazing what you can come up with a pack of cake mix and icing mix. In this case, he came up with vanilla cake with choco fudge icing. I like my food to look good and I believe that it does not taste good unless it looks good. A little shredded dark chocolate some choco chips does the trick.

United State Of Mind - 1

Now I'm scared to fall asleep,
For fear of what I may dream.
And if I do fall asleep eventually,
I can't stand the all so real feeling.

I wonder

I wonder...

....if this kind of carnage will happen again.

....when bombs go off on a weekly basis in other places like Assam and Manipur etc, why do we need it to happen in Bombay before we get shocked?

....if Raj Thackery had indeed managed to kick out all non-Maharashtrians from Bombay, then would his sena have been able to show some balls and fight the terrorist? Or would they stick to picking on the poor Bimari called Bihari?

....if we never thought about creating a division like Homeland Security before, or did we think it was unnecessary?

....If blaming Pakistan is the right thing to do. Pakistan has more attacks happening than India. Remember Marriott? Maybe the elements were Pakistani nationals, but does that justify blaming the nation?

....if it would be possible to have military rule for some time, while this country is sanitized. Remember how Punjab was wiped clean by the army? Sometimes we need some level of brutality to deal with certain things. Screw democracy for a while. I think I could stay at home and make do without a few rights for a while.

....why it makes me grin, that most of the news channels took a stand to NOT broadcast any lame speeches the visiting politicians made, and not even focus on them.

....if it is time to focus on more important issues that provides security, than to focus on banning few harmless bar dancers and party goers. Some people have their priorities all messed up.

....when RGV will make another lame movie which might be titled "Shootout at Colaba", since he wasted no time before he visited the "location" immediately after the incident.

....if Chennai being the only metro that has been untouched means something. The thought scares me. Are we next?

....i still wonder.
