Some lighter moment!

Yesterday was full of leadership advice in the form of anecdote, so I thought, I should tone down to something lighter today. And here it is -> 2 jokes back-to-back. Do read & enjoy maadi!
Joke Number 1:
A South Indian software engineer named "Anantharaman Subbaraman" arrived at American Consulate for a visa interview. He ended up waiting for 2 hours for his name to be called by the authorities.

He got super bored, pissed off & irritated seeing rest of candidates move past him every passing minute. So finally he walked up to a visa processing window & asked the authority why his name was never called. The authority told him that, they have been calling his name for the past 1 hour and a half, but he never responded back.
The reason was made clear later when the authority pronounced his name as,  
"Anotherman Superman" instead of "Anantharaman Subbaraman". :-)

Joke Number 2:
A beautiful couple gave birth to a child. And a year later on his B-Day, the father asked his child, "What gift do u want?" Child said, "Ping pong ball."
On his second birthday, the father asked, "What gift do u want?" Child said, "Ping pong ball."
On his 24th birthday, the father asked, "What gift do you want?" Son said "Ping pong ball."
The son got married and at his honeymoon, his wife asked, "What do u want?" He said, "Ping pong ball."
On their 10th anniversary, his wife asked, "What gift do you want?" He said, "Ping pong ball."

When his kids become older, and on his 40th birthday, they asked, "Father, what gift do you want?" He said, "Ping pong ball."
Then, on his 79th birthday his kids asked again, "Father, what gift do you want?" He said, "Ping pong ball."

Finally on his deathbed, all the people from whom he took ping pong balls, came to him and asked, "Why did you ask for ping pong balls all the time?" He said," I asked for a ping pong ball on every birthday because............"

And he died… before he could tell the reason!

Simple Palak Dal (Spinach Dal Recipe)

Palak Dal is one of the simplest of recipes, at the same time very rich and healthy too. It works very well with both rice and roti. It is a welcome change to the mundane Dal Fry for sure. Not many add tomatoes to this Dal, but I did - because I like the mild sourness it brings to the Dal. Ingredients : 1)Toor Dal - 1/2 cup 2)Spinach - 1 bunch(chopped, I used the stem as well) 3)Green Chilli - 1(slit) 4)Small Onions or shallots - 4(chopped or slit or whole) 5)Tomato - 1(small, chopped) 6)Whole Red chilli - 2 7)Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp 8)Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp 9)Asafetida - 1 pinch 10)Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp 11)Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp(optional) 12)Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp 13)Oil - 1 tsp 14)Ghee - 1/2 tsp Preparation : 1)Soak Toor Dal for 30 minutes in water. 2)In a pressure cooker, add soaked toor dal with enough water, turmeric powder, asafetida, salt, slit green chilli, shallots and tomatoes. Cook for 4 whistles. 3)Heat oil in a frying pan, add cumin, mustard seeds and...

RIP 'Google Reader' and what next?

We all know ' Google Reader ' would shut it's service down on the 1st of July this year. If you are not aware, then try logging into Reader, you get a popup reminder like the one shown in the picture below. There are so many people, who logs into Reader as the first thing in the morning than logging into their own blogs, for them this shut down means letting go of a helping hand. And the worst thing is, there are umpteen number of alternatives available in the market for free, so which one to choose? To be honest with you, there are pluses and minuses in each and every product. But there are 2 Reader alternatives which come close to Google Reader and that is Feedly and Digg ! I'm somehow inclined to try  Feedly , so here I have jotted down some basic information to get started. If you already are using some other alternative, good for you! - You don't have to read further, coz this post is only about Feedly! Ok, So why do you think Google is shutting down the Reade...

What NOT to do with Social Media!

“What happens in 'Vegas' stays in 'Vegas'; what happens on 'Twitter' stays on 'Google' forever!” -  Jure Klepic Ever heard this quote before? Although, the quote is sarcastic, isn't it scary? For the past one week, we have been hearing news about NSA( National Security Agency ), PRISM( A Govt. program, where corporates are supposed to provide user's data shared in social media and call records to Govt. ) & several other Govt. agencies gathering personal data out of social media et al. Here comes the question: Why do NSA or Govt. spy on our personal information? What do they achieve, by doing this? A brief overview -> According to me, Govt. and the National Security agencies have always spied on the shared information available online. Only now, we are getting to know that our data is being monitored, thanks to a Whistle Blower named " Edward Snowden ". Why is this freaking people out?  Mainly because of over-sharing of personal ...
