Ramen Soup

Inspired from the movie “The Ramen girl”, I decided to have ramen soup in Bangalore. But wish for having an authentic Japanese ramen soup in Bangalore was daunting task.

I shared this wish with my room partner and we started searching for restaurants in Bangalore but not able to find not even a single restaurant. I thought this isn’t a big deal and next day we can taste it. After lot of looking up, conferring with friends, I almost gave up on the wish. I almost ended up in going Japan.

But my room partner suggested why we don’t make it at home. Dubiously we made up our mind and started the formulations considering expenditure of going to Japan will be saved. Within a second, PC (courtesy to Google) showed us the authentic ramen soup recipe.

Went to market, bought all necessary items as indicated in recipe and initiated the project “Ramen soup”. Project lasted for 3 hours for obvious reasons. We were novice, noodles were hand made and disarray.

I duly accept, first preparation was not up to the mark but latter ones were amazing and every time we superseded the previous (part of continuous learning).

Just less than 100 bucks, servings for 3 people were made although we are just two. Successfully completion of the project ensued in the cancellation of Japan trip without any deferment.

Kudos to me and my room partner

Bye!!




Lift behavior

Recently I’ve been feting people, precisely near the lifts and am surprised and befuddled about what they do near lifts. Let me recall a simple incident, lift currently at 9th floor and pressed button to bring it down. At this point I’m alone and a lady arrives. Think for a moment, what should be the normal behavior keeping in mind that button is already pressed?? Wait? Of course yes.

In spite of button pressed, she went and pressed it again. What for? Will it make lift come faster with lightening speed? Or her pressing will do some magical trick resulting bypassing every floor and directly coming to ground floor? I’ve already pressed the button and it’s not like that people can’t see it pressed (button changes to red color as an indicator that it has been already pressed).

To my second shock, it’s with feminines only (just observation, no offence against them). Blind case would have been exceptional but this isn’t the case. What make them to do this stupid act that too in front of crowd? I really don’t know what and which kind of intelligence they want us to see though funny.

A couple of times I thought of interrupting them but this is just common sense. Till date, it keeps on happening.

Bye 
