~~Movement against corruption~~

  With anti corruption movement gearing up in India I steadily keep myself updated with whatever happening there. There were some interesting videos posted and had good dicussions with my friends in facebook. There were arguments that the movement is pure blackmail against the government to get things done but it wasn't a blackmail as government had plenty of time to negotiate on the table.
Government handled the whole issue badly first appointing the five member commitee from the ruling party alone, second changing the bill given by the civil society upside down replacing the bill to be piece of joke. The best thing would have been to get bill introduced in parliament had a discussion among the political parties and made amendments which were necessary.Arun Jaitley explained the opposition's view excellently in the parliament. Government has caught itself into a cobweb finding difficult to come out it.
  I commented in one of facebook post  "Since we dont have right people in power to make right policies, we now see people on the streets demanding politicians to implement policies which will be beneficial for the country" Hoping the best happens for India!

~~Cooking time~~

  This summer I started to cook slowly as I had some free time and my cook didn't have enough customers in our area as most of the students are away from the city.Another main thing is the location of the place I work. Its in middle of a national park with the nearby restaurant is not near by in walking standards. So apart from eating salads in the cafeteria a better option was to cook.

 Cooking is not new to me I have done it in Trichy as well as Cochin. First I started with Indian foods such as tomato rice fried rice etc.Then started making the easy ones like pasta spaghetti macaroni noodles etc.  I also made Spanish rice and red bean rice.

Today after coming back home I thought of doing something different. I decided to make Quesadillas and checked I had all the necessary items in the kitchen. First I fried all the veggies and beans in the olive oil. Then toasted the tortillas stuffed the veggies inside and sealed. It was as simple as I said. Now I remember why I restrain myself from cooking because of the delicious taste I always end up eating more.

~~Independence Day~~

Today after lunch I was in an eternal mood , my supervisor came to desk you never told me an important news. I was wondering whether he was mentioning about the aloo paratha I had for lunch. Seeing my blank look on the face he said congratultions for your 65th year of Independence.

Oh yea it is Independence day today but is it an "Independence day" with me coming to office and working hard :)

~~Movie night~~

   In summer we have many movies screening in different parks of the city. One I found worth watching was  in the Brooklyn Bridge park in Brooklyn. The screening was called movie with a view overlooking the Manhattan skyline. The movie shown today was Breakfast at Tiffany's starring Audrey Hepburn one of my favorite actress.

Knowing that it will be crowded we went there a 30 minutes early but even then the lawn was fully packed but we squeezed in between little place available in the middle of the lawn. When we looked around most of the people were busy munching something, my Eastern Europe classmate commented going for movie in their country is a culture but here people come to eat. Anyways I told her to enjoy the movie and the view.

The movie was taken in 1960s in New York where Audrey Hepburn play a role of New York socialite with a sole aim of marrying a millionare. Her neighbour is guy is a struggling writer who is trying his luck in New York. The movie is about the complicated relationship between two of them.It was fun to watch the movie in Open air theater bringing memories of many movies I have seen in Trichy club. More than the movie the view of Manhattan skyline was really wonderful. I patted myself for choosing a good park to see the movie.
