Grand sweets..

Grand sweets is a shop in quiet neighbourhood Adyar.. If you were in Chennai, Grand sweets would require no intro... This has been operational for the past 26 years.

Well I have a sweet tooth (anything with sugar/jaggery in it.. barring few.. I can eat..in large quantity). So visits to Grand sweets is something I would not miss.. As a kid, I would tag along with my father, once a month, to get snacks.. When you are waiting to collect your order, they serve snacks in small quantity (ghee dripping sweet pongal.. or curd rice loaded with fried cashew).. You wouldn't mind waiting.. Trust me.. these guys have redefined how business is done..

1. Quality at its foremost.. It just can't get any better
2. Preserving tradition..
3. Good customer service..
4. Reasonable price..
5. Rare dishes made to perfection..
6. Employment opportunity for women at work in this place..(Quite a few)..

Never have I seen anyone complaining about this place..

My favourite: Adhirasam.. (Its a flat circular sweet made out of jaggery)
I also like potato chips made at this place .. I should drive down.. pick something right away..

ECD: Bookmark del.icio.us

Excessive compulsive disorder.. to skim through reddit / slashdot.. every morning.. bookmark every damn thing that remotely concerns/interests me.. with the hope one day I would have the time to read it...
End result.. a haphazardly organized bookmarks.. that keeps me reminding there are half a million stuff that remains unattended..

I am not sure if I should thank del.icio.us or curse it..... i suppose thank them..

Connecting dots...

This is pretty old video.. and I had completely forgotten about this.. Infact I had read the transcript, but never actually viewed the video.. This is one of the rare occasions, Steve Jobs pulls something emotionally dramatic and still holds the crowd , as usual...

"Connecting the dots" is something I can't agree less... Everything falls into place when you look back.. "You can only look back.." "you cannot look forward... ".. Damn I wonder how many hours he thought to put all this into his speech..

What may seem the worst situation, may turn out to be not so bad (may be even good)... and what may seem as the best moment in your life may turn out soar.. when you look back...

I thought my career was doomed when my manager quit.. but it turned out not so bad..
