I used to slog for hours together to diagnose an elusive fault in a VCR,TV or any other electronic equipment, eventually finding the failed component .I realized that stock faults could be resolved at a fraction of the time it would normally take,if you had the right information.

I motorcycled/motored across the whole of South India,having a wide range of experiences.Not all of them were pleasant.The roads were miserable most of the time.The food was barely edible in most places.But only if you know your way around ....

I love highly spiced foods.If you live in the wind-swept plains near the spice-laden Western Ghats, you will have a palate well-accustomed to the charms and subtle nuances in the taste buds kindled by various spices...
