About eating Chinese in a Veg Fast Food Shop

I had a Sweet Corn Soup in a place called HotChips in Chennai. Then realized that you should never have any soup items in a South Indian Veg Fast food Shop. They made a mess of it and I could hardly have it.

About Sambar Vada

Today I had Sambar Vada(i) for lunch. At the restaurant I asked for Sambar Vada(i) as usual, at that the teller asked me whether I want Sambar Vada or Vada Sambar.

What the difference?

Sambar Vada- where the vada’s are pre-marinated in the Samabar for a long time. Generally those vada’s don’t have onions in them and the size is comparatively smaller, just like button Idli.

Vada Sambar- the person who will serve you, will put vada in a serving bowl and pour sambar in it.

About Prepaid Taxies at the airport

Always hire a prepaid taxi before you come out the Airport. Especially in cases where you are in a new town, there if you go out and try to take a taxi, you are more prone to being cheated. More so when the airport is out of the town like in Chennai. What I did was to come out of the airport and then took a prepaid taxi, and the driver took 30 more bucks when we reached to the destination.

Never bother to take a prepaid taxi in you own town. Recently I went to Hyderabad. I knew that if I can walk just half a kilometer I would find a auto, but I took a so called prepaid autos out side the airport and paid twice as much. And again as in Chennai, the auto driver took another 20 bucks over the bargained amount.

Always carry change with you, so that you don’t have to pay extra amounts.

About Linux

Previously when some one used to say “Login to root” I used to search for “Login to Root” Button in the the current non-root login. Just recently i realized that it means “Login with Root as your Login ID” like Administrator in Windows. I think that was the problem I was not able to configure my Wireless in Ubuntu, previously and jumped to Open Suse 10.2

About Being a writer

I wanted to be a great writer but realized that do not have the acumen to be one. However I do not give up. Trying all the time to find new ways to express my literary creativity or may be lack of it.

About My Work

What ever I do I do it wrong first time. Well almost 80% of the time it is true. This is what I realized some years back. I also realized that I will be doing, all the mistakes; every time a unique one. Since I am a quick learner I don’t repeat the same mistake, but find out new ways of doing mistakes.
