Tan can Cook
Ok! I am a big foodie :)!! People who know me would definitely
acknowledge that. Back in the 90's Star TV had this cookery
show "Yan can Cook- so can you". The chef - Martin Yan
was the best I had seen with the chopping knife and the
chinese accent drew a lot of fans.
So the blog name - tan can cook immediately reminds me of
'yan can cook...sooo can you'.
Tan can cook is a nice blog with great pictures. You can
check their other blog for some interesting bits.
SBC-ATnT - and the telecom rip-off
Andy Kessler has a nice article on how the telecom companies
are ripping the customer on local/long distance rates.
The phone costs in US are really high, given the fact that US has
had telecom infrastructure in place for ages.
Cellular telephone market is hardly as competitive as its back in
India. The choices are few and the services are less. What is
astonishing is the fact that, there is hardly a affordable to have
pre-paid cellular telephone here. The call rates for pre-paid are as
high as 3x times.
There are people who still use pagers/two-way pagers here.
How crappy is that! Thanks to Bharti & Reliance Infocomm
India has seen a high tech infrastructure being put in place and at
costs which are even affordable to roadside vegetable vendors.
This is definitely one area India can claim to be ahead and booming
vis-à-vis the 'First' world countries.

Love Ryhme
Here is something I picked up from another blog
A newspaper ran a competition asking for a rhyme
with the most romantic first line...but the least romantic second line.
Here are some of the entries they received.
I thought that I could love no other
until, that is, I met your brother.
Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl'sempty and so is your head.
Of loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your face
Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not
I want to feel your sweet embrace
But don't take that paper bag off of your face
I love your smile, your face, and your eyes -
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!
My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life
I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming
My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way
My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe "go to hell"
What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime

Andy Kessler - Wall Street Meat
Just finished reading this great book on the "inside's" of a wall street analyst
and the big dot com boom. Andy's book is like a fast paced novel, and I would
recommend this as a good peep about the biggest casino of the world and the
greatest gamblers the world has to offer - "The Wall Street"
