Hello,
Spring is settling in here. However the weather has been just a tad crazy with temperatures going up and down within a day.
People continue to talk about racism down under against India. However some happenings keeps me wondering otherwise. If not for anything at least with food. One of the coffee chains here called Gloria Jeans (comparable to Starbucks) has samosas amongst other pastries. Nandhitha's recent day care (yes we changed one last week) has a list of suggested meal items of which there is a special section with Indian suggestions for lunch and snacks (idli, roti etc.). However the one that has topped the list so far is to find butter chicken masala and lamb rogan josh in an Italian restaurant. Simply shows the number of Indians and their impact here. Wonder if UK has similar things going on too. I remember getting excited to see chicken tikka masala in a cross country train in UK.
Finally got to finish watching Enthiran (Robot) this week. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I haven't watched any of the Hollywood movies that have been used as "sources of inspiration". It definitely didn't feel like watching a Tamil movie. Of course Shankar did ensure to give that feel by having Super Star chase around mosquitoes. Was that a copy of something too?
Nandhitha is becoming more and more dangerous day by day. We used to spell words in English to say something that we don't want her to grasp. Last time Uma spelt a word to me and spat came the reply from Nandhitha. I know some of my friends had resorted to Hindi...but unfortunately that cannot be an option here.
Oki doki. Have a Great Week!!
Chetty
