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"
