Onam away from home at Borehamwood

I am too lazy to write anything at this moment other than say we had a short taste of Onam outside of Kerala in the distant land of Borehamwood in the outskirts of London, UK. Perhaps, Hilal will have a moment of inspiration and will write a big essay; I will then link to it ;)
It was the first for all of us in our small group in the UK, even though most of us have been here for quite sometime now. Surprisingly, the event was well organised, much better than my expectations, especially the Onam sadya. The taste of the payasam still lingers in my mouth. It was also a pleasant surprise to see so many malayalee's in this little town. Without much ado, here are some photos -

Tribute to the musical genius

Ignorance is bliss?...NOT! ...atleast in the case of music. Its heartening to see someone write so highly of a true genius... Read Richard Corliss on the all-time best-selling recording artist who can't get a break in the States ... A R Rahman!

Solve this . . .

I solved this puzzle some time back. I don't remember how long it took me to figure this out, but it was time well spent. Very engaging...try it! Objective: Everybody has to cross the river. Game rules: Only 2 persons on the raft at a time The father cannot stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence The mother cannot stay with any of the sons without their father's presence The thief (striped shirt) cannot stay with any family member if the policeman is not there Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft. Game help: To start click on the big blue circle on the right. To move the people click on them. To move the raft click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.
