One would presume they are the initials of this fellow Parry who started this company. So it was a revalation to me when i came across this article which says, EID stands for East India Distillaries! What is the connection distillaries with sanitaryware, you may well ask.It is a long story. Dont forget it was...

Wednesday, April 26, 2006. Marine drive and marina. Just back from a business trip to amchi mumbai. Stayed very close to marine drive, and used late evening and early morning time to stroll along and drink in the ambience of the place. Sub consciously kept comparing the walking experience of besant nagar beach and marine drive.Here goes;. Kept me amused and engaged. The walkway ends jutting out into the sea.Avid surya namaskaram doers make it a point to travel up to the tip and wait for the sun to ap...

Tuesday, August 30, 2005. Yeah it has been a period of working out the workout schedule.Surprisingly this gym was not "cool",so one literally had to sweat it out.I was surprised that there are actually some people in this world,who thinks working out means literally sweating it out! Thankfully caught the secretary in a pleasant mood and got him to accept the proposal to instant an ac in the gym.And after just over 3 months it is in place one cool morning. Posted by vasukumar @ 7:22 AM. Daughter , a bride?

Friday, March 31, 2006. Rural households and computer education. The advertiser in such cases would surely get an award in some forum or the other, but whether the product that they are promoting will sellt 1 item more because of this ad is questionable. I can visualise girls from rural households use this ad to their advantage to push for higher studies in their chosen field.And what is more, many a mother will use it to push the cause of their girls and their education!

So it was a new experience for me to go saree shopping with a friend, kalpa.She has an amazing taste in buying sarees which i have admired for very nearly 30 years now.So, when she called up to say, that she is in town and would i care to catch up with her while she does her saree shopping in radha silk emporium! I jumped at the offer. Length of zari(she wanted a very thin one). Zari has to be authentic and not synthetic. It should not have Butta.

Monday, January 30, 2006. The story of organic green gram. The fridge was stacked with all sorts of homemade bread with esoteric names(and shapes too)I picked a couple of them as i had decided to be less partial to rice and more partial to wheat products.Next a dull bottle 'plum jam' caught my attention. plop it went into my basket(it made me believe plum jam is all goodness and wellness of kodai hills brought to arid chennai and the sugar is of course the organic variety! I have had an earlier stint as ...

Sunday, February 26, 2006. No gifts please; no bouquets please. I have come across such 'requests' earlier too.It used to be 'no gifts' , so we used to end up taking bouquets! So this time, the message was loud and clear. Another interesting facet of this wedding was there was no 'chathram' and centralised place where all events took place. Guests were put up in various locations and elaborate arrangements were made to ferry them from venue to venue! Reception was in a huge lawn ;the atmosphere was relax...

Tuesday, November 29, 2005. Washing machine or lassi maker? Washing machine as a gadget has become indispensable in many households.My son tells me that nobody nowadays washes clothes the non technology way! If they dont use a washing machine then they give it to the dhobi! But then washing machine is always used for washing clothes, right? Wrong It is well documented that across the Punjab rural expanse, washing machines churn loads of lassi to quench the thirst of the millions! All of it goes to show t...
