Of dosas and the moghuls

Had dosas at the Uphaar Darshini in Jay nagar- rated as among the best in B'lore by some magazine....it was good. The rava dosa was very different though- it had no holes!! Also noticed a shop called Davasam Jewellers !!( it means death anniv in Tamil)




Finished reading the Empire of the Moghuls- Raiders from the North- very interesting historical fiction- this one was on Babur. ( more factual than Philipa Gregory )

Pl click the side bar link for Mister Muthu's new on line episode.

Best Anushism over the weekend- "So this is a flask for food?" pointing at a hot keep.
Best Aditty- " baabaabaabaa- akka- ayyyyeeee!!", yes, my baby is trying very hard to baby talk.





Had a get together of all under 25 yr old cousins of Navy. Great fun and I felt rejuvenated. They compared my SILs place with ours and summarised- "B's is an old house with cool stuff, Yours is a cool house with old stuff"... are you listening/ reading B?


Met an old mutual friend U with her kids last night. Great to see the kids bond!

@Art, Abha: I've seen TWO jewelers, one Davasam and the other Davanam. Maybe one was earlier, the other one now!

Davasa-Dhanya in Kannada stands for pulses-cereals :)

@timepass - the Kadambam near the RV college was closed down I hear after some issues that the management had. Their puliyodharai was to die for, isn't it??

Uphaar darshini in Jayanagar too?? Shows how outdated I am..I thought there was one only in Gandhi bazaar!

On the houses - I love both kind of houses :) each interesting in its own way I say!! :)

I always open your post first for Aditi/Anusha's pictures, and I'm never dissappointed!

You seen to be settling down well in B'lore if you've already explored Jayanagar's eating joints. Great. Took me 3-4 yrs in town to do that.
