Wednesday, August 27, 2008. The Extern's life in NYC. I now live in New York, a city many claim to be the centre of the world. I do not completely disagree. The lights are as bright as they say they are and it does have it's charm. The restaurant count runs well about 25,000 and I find myself interning in one of the better upscale ones.

Sunday, June 13, 2010. MLFDWGC Part 2: Doughnut Crazy. I took one bite and I got that feeling you get when you reach or achieve the pinnacle of something. I think they call it ecstasy without the capital 'E'. The crunch of the sugar, the chewy softness of the dough, and the succulence of the jelly, all in one unctuous bite. I usually take pictures of memorable meals but I didn't this time because I knew I could never forget. Tuesday, June 01, 2010. My Last Few Days in the World's Greatest City Part 1.

Monday, March 23, 2009. The Passing of a Cherished Friend. As I sit in my room distanced from my hometown half way across the world by over 8000 miles, I feel eternally helpless. One of Cochin’s best caterers and the pioneer of stand-alone restaurants in the city is no more. But this man was more than just all that. He was warm, ever-jovial, kind-hearted and above all, a beloved friend. Is karma after all a big hoax? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. The Passing of a Cherished Friend.

molōN labeY: Compliments
http://molon-labey.blogspot.com/2008/03/compliments.html
Friday, March 7, 2008. The basis for this post is one of Seinfeld's stand-up gags. The argument is that when someone complements the clothes that you wear, they are faithfully complementing that particular article of clothing and absolutely nothing else. So when I say, 'Hey that's a nice shirt you are wearing', ok. Says 'oh really. Thank you' and takes pride in them assuming the complement was showered on them rather than the shirt itself. (ok and Baliga no offence :P). Dude you are not married to your c...

Arbid Thoughts...: May 2008

Monday, May 12, 2008. Meat, meat and more meat. Meat and Seafood Identification and Fabrication is not particularly the ideal kitchen class to start with in any culinary school, let alone the CIA. Considering that most of the students starting school have hardly any experience working in a kitchen, does it make sense to put tenderloin P.S.M.Os and racks of veal for them to break down before teaching them adequate knife skills first?

Arbid Thoughts...: 10 Things You Definitely Did Not Know About Me
http://arbidthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/08/10-things-you-definitely-did-not-know.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. 10 Things You Definitely Did Not Know About Me. The coffee I drink every morning is called 'Monsoon Malabar'. It is sourced from my home state of Kerala about 8000 miles away from where I currently live. I spray cologne before going to bed just because I like smelling good. I buy a bottle of coke before heading into a movie theater. I can never justify paying $5 for soda. I do however buy the $6 popcorn. I've never asked a girl on a date.

Wednesday, October 15, 2008. I Had Fun at the Cafe Wha? To those of you who know the history behind Cafe Wha? The place is more than just a great party spot; it is a legendary iconic establishment. Most 60s rock music aficionados all over the world know the real relevance of this New York City club. Being a hardcore classic rock fan myself and a temporary resident of Manhattan, I made my way there to experience it first hand. Perhaps the most notable claim to fame for Cafe Wha? Is that it was the origina...
