What better way to put it...

1. A hamburger does NOT contain ham. It contains beef. The origins were in Hamburg, Germany, hence the name. For all those who are going "How-did-I-just-find-out-I-ate-beef"...sorry, too bad. Swallow it! And convince yourself.
   
2. A cheeseburger is NOT two buns with cheese in the middle. It is a hamburger (refer pt. 1) with extra cheese. Now repeat that after me.. "A cheeseburger is..."

Whew.. I really needed to get that off my head.

I'm back!

...going out on a floodlit football field on a chilly, windy evening that makes your ears go red
...making tackles, not particularly concerned of getting hit on an occasion or two
...getting abused in Spanish by a bunch of complete strangers
...scoring 3 goals in a 3-0 victory

Now that's what I've been missing out on, for a while!

Don't bother

Why are there more questions than answers?

Maybe because this one hasn't been answered.

Or has it?

Bits n pieces

This has been very refreshing. After a really long time, some cricket news that has me interested.

And this is very depressing. I really had expected that it had, if nothing else, caught some more attention.

Dollar going down?!

When you are moving between worlds, there is so much to write about. I could go on and on with comparisons, lessons learnt, opinions, inhibitions, revelations and rants... but I think the following story is what I found most amusing during my past few days.

This friend of mine is planning to go to the US for her higher studies. Naturally, she was looking for some loose dollars to carry for odd expenses. Her father found these at a most unexpected source: a woman called "bhangarwaali" (one who picks up odd items from households and sells them in the flea market).
As it turns out, some wisecrack on Prabhat road tipped her $4. She was more than happy when my friend's dad paid her Rs 160 in exchange of some bills she didn't even recognize! So much for 'foreign exchange'.

I'm loving it!
