record breakers!
Just 10 days back Mumbai people were surprised to see Boeing 737 stuck in the city road, blocking the traffic. Yesterday French put me in a similar surprise; I was practicing roller blades with my friends next to the river, and suddenly saw the TGV, the fast train which recently broke the world record, happily floating in the river.

Women have 'stronger' senses!
Do you know women have stronger chemical senses (the taste and the smell) than man? We can even identify the smell of fear and joy from the body secretions it seems. May be that’s why women started taking care of children, sitting inside the caves, using smell to sense danger and the sense of taste to give the best food for her family? Even now a days we can see the pregnant women becoming hypersensitive to the smell and taste. They crave for strong taste at the same time they can’t stand the smell of cooking…hmm! Very tricky period. Tamil cuisine has a set of seven different rice dishes (coconut, tamarind, lemon, lentils, mango, sweet and yogurt rice) with sour and sweet sauces, rasam and chutney. These dishes have strong taste and less smell, so they are specially cooked for pregnant women. My friend Meena is Pregnant (wow! I will be an aunty (again) soon!) . So, we cooked this pregnancy kit for her yesterday. Hmmmm! What a feast! Thanks to this small and successful Indo-French project of Meena and Eric.

Backup Job!
Now a days I am spending hours together writing and commenting blogs, but procrastinating my research article completion, yes! it was suppose to be completed six months back. I think…I should quite science and select an alternative career? Well! this thought of quitting science is the first symptom towards Phd completion it seems, so may be I am towards the end of my Phd? Alternative career? May be as a cook in some Indian restaurant? May be a hardware job to fix laptops? As I was successful with my laptop repair, I got some new student to learn this technique from me! Bala, I know you will not believe me, I can hear you saying that its just a “Self Image Build Up” thing…but check this picture, I was teaching my friend Alcidio to separate the display screen from the keyboard.
Confession Note: Now they are using the key board linked with their TV monitor , well! It is mac..so putting back the display screen is not same as dell. But, Alcidio is still considers me as his friend!
My friends and my boss have oceans of tolerance!

Growing younger?
A girl’s best moment in her life is when she tells her age and people around her scream “NO”! And just that “NO” makes her feel 10 years younger than what she is. I guess it’s a common disease among girls, the thirst to look and appear younger. You may not agree with me to call this quest as a disease, but as a girl I can see girls suffering from such things! When a 35 year old girl feel 25 at heart and behave accordingly, can be painful for her and for the people around, I don’t know why only girls in their path of metamorphose, refuse to come out of their cocoon and see that they can be a beautiful butterfly if they grow and mature with their age. Girls! Just by postponing from being a wife or a mother doesn’t keep us a teenager for ever! Most of the people ‘get older’ as they see their children growing. Recently I got enlightenment about my age, when my nephew, for whom I have even changed nappy, buzzed me in orkut, wow! He has grown into a handsome teenager! This weekend, in my lab picnic in
