Idk about y'all but after Chef Andy Hearden said Soy Sauce adds unami flavour to food, I've been putting it in everything.

Rajma? Check
Tandoori Chicken? Check.
Sheesh Tawook? Check

Americans - It's finger licking good!

Also Americans - He eats with his hands?

I've begun Bouldering recently. Indoors. And it's addictive despite being so punishing on the hands

It's exhilarating to use your body that way, with the safety of padded flooring

The coolest bit is that they change portions of the walls regularly, so you're not repeating the same thing too long

Yknow I didn't know there was an actual ball that dropped at the Times Square' New Year celebration. I thought it was just an americanism to refer to the celebrations in general.

My gym usually have open mats on weekends, you can just come and practice. I decided to come with a friend to practice today only to see that there's an unscheduled class for Knife Fighting training.

Which is wierd. How do you certify someone in knife fighting?

Anyway, we're expecting snow tomorrow and the day after. And then a hellishly frigid Sunday as temperatures drop ten degrees in a single day.

Pray for this poor Delhi boy.

Guess whether the following headline is Truth or Satire

British police arrested a mannequin (you read that right) for opposite genocide and supporting Palestine Action.

Google it for best effect.

Do South Indians ever look at whatever nonsense is dominating the north Indian news and go Wtf is wrong with these northies?

Or do they just ignore it like we ignore that one wacko uncle who is always doing unethical borderline illegal stuff and you just shrug and move on.

Was it Dubya or Trump who said this - "No one knew you could fly planes into buildings"

It was Dubya. Looking back it seems his presidency really set the template for Trump.

Anyway. TIL about this incident where a guy flew a plane in to a Texas IRS building a year before 911

All I want is for Australia to be eliminated.

Team Mongolia all the way!

Met an Indian guy at the gym. We exchanged pleasantries and barely talked for a minute before he asks me my last name.

About Queen's Gambit, the Netflix show -

I enjoyed the show but was disappointed to learn it was a work of fiction.

I know it's based on a book, but honestly, I'm quite that sure the lives of women grandmasters would make great film or TV even without fictionalization.

Our favorite vegan burger restaurant shutdown recently. The burgers were great but the place always had a burnt oil smell hanging around and it was a little bothersome.

So anyway, we decided to make vegan burgers at home today, but now the house smells of burnt oil

The wife went to Zakopane yesterday, and one of things she got from there was this.

It's just a caramel candy but it is orgasmic. It's like eating a crumbly caramel barfi filled with caramel.

Absolutely scrumptious.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

A word on Team Mongolia. They are the most interesting team on Physical Asia.

Three typical athletes, and then a smallish MMA guy - the other MMA guys are big fellas, an ultra light carney - no one has a carney, and a heavy weight lady judoka - who may well be team MVP.

I think I'm Team Mongolia.

Watched the last episode of Physical Asia and the smartalec in me thinks the producers had set up a trap for the Aussies

A pretty simple one - a irresistibly high risk high reward task

Australia decided the risk was worth it. The other teams knew Australia would take the risk and played it safe
