Personal plug

I come from Chennai in India, a sunny city with beaches that sell Milagai Bajji (a very hot snack made from fried stuffed-peppers) and a rich & vibrant performing-arts culture.

Some random interests

birdwatching and wildlife

music: jazz and indian classical: collecting, discussing, going to concerts

woody allen: films and books

coffee: playing around with brewing methods and grounds, sampling origins, collecting brewing equipment

I am also interested in existentialism within a culinary perspective and these days I'm compiling a book on '15 recipes under 15 minutes that won't give you indigestion'.
