Kesar Kulfi


People who have been to Jayanagar 4th block wouldnt have missed the shopping bazaar and cool joint, famous for sandwich and icecream. The lane right behind the cool joint is a small parlour selling kulfi, sugar cane juice is also sold. Varieties of kulfis like Kesar, Badam, Pista, Elaichi in various blends are available in reasonable rates. For the past 4 years the shop looks the same, simple but with delicious kulfis. It is rich in kova and melts like butter, mouth- watering even now. People are addicted to this who intentionally hang over in this area for the kulfis and cool joint.

Avan Ivan

Loud laugther filled the entire theatre in first half, post intermission was serious and terrific. There were no much heart breaking scenes in his usual formula thanks to Bala. Vishal's acting was amazing, hopefully he gets an award for his stunning performance with squint eyes and nalinam. Movie narrates the association of Kamudhikottai zamindar with 2 brothers Valter and Kumudren sami and their family, with Kamudhi as the background, its people, their slang, lifestyle. His usual way of making fun on police, rough looking hero, beautiful and little loose type heroine, godfather for the hero, smoking woman scolding in abusing terms are not missing. As in Naan kadavul climax made me say 'Oh the movie got over??',expected something to happen in climax. Overall movie was gud in terms of comedy and had a feel of watching drama which was not bad.

Aththo



I have been to Madurai last weekend, an amazing city always crowded and active people around. Tasted a new dish, I have never heard before- Aththo. When my relative was telling about this I had a false imagination of appam kind. But it was a many ingredient stuff including noodles as the base and thattai, raw cabbage and onion, red chillies, bengal gram and much more. It is prepared in a road side small cart in Meenakshi bazaar which is crowded always and maintained well. We have to be there on time to taste it, otherwise it gets over so quickly.
