Mini-meet over a mega meal! Posted on December 22, 2004 And so I met another Bangalore blogger – Suman Kumar. A point he made emphatically was not being listed in my blogroll. Which I have fixed since then, Suman, if you’re reading this š In the middle of a gargantuan 7-course meal at Shiok, Suman gave us his fundas on topics as diverse as corporate blogging, the MMS scandal and how to make money via blog ads, since food apparently isn’t one of those things that turn him on! Adding to the party spirit was his pretty and charming wife Chitra (who contrary to Suman) was totally enjoying the delicious spread. It’s always such a pleasure to meet another foodie, especially if they’re women (who are usually known to eat in bites only!). Thanks, Madman for the yummy food. We had a really good time. While Arun got totally sloshed over the potent Long Island Ice Tea and kept excusing himself saying, “I’m not responsible for what I say, because I’m drunk”. Hmm, now isn’t that a nice excuse? And Suman and Chitra had their own interesting story about how they got together online. I would love to do it again, so while we try and work out a meet, we hope you’ll join us the next time. Especially, if you’re in Bangalore š Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Blogs
Blog Updates Posted on November 27, 2007November 27, 2007 I realised that loads of links on my travel page were not working. Finally got around to fixing them and have also updated my 2007 travel section. I still need to add some of my latest travel reports from Agumbe and Bhutan. I often have people emailing me or leaving… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
Some comments gone missing… Posted on July 26, 2004 The latest deluge of MT comments spam is creating havoc. Though I am using Jay Allen’s blacklist, it has to be updated almost everyday. Today, while cleaning up, a lot of valid comments got wiped out as they were showing up in the blacklist and I didn’t really notice. So… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
From the other side Posted on March 24, 2004 We had Yardboy, who ditched us and went back to his home country. We have Nancy Gandhi who writes evocatively about life in Chennai as an outsider. Here are two more to add to the list. India from another perspective. Daniel Brett, ‘the sahib of behala’ and Sonia Toor, a… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
Hey anita Next time around, do let me know. I’ll be sure glad to go around on a foodie trip that too with bloggin community. And suman, please – no Shanti Sagar. Thats like the only place I go otherwise! Reply
Hey guys, next time I’ll hopefully have time to come and chat with you more – when I don’t have to be chef full time. And Suman, I will not set foot inside a Shanti Sagar because those bastards tried to screw my business once. Will tell you the story some time. Reply

Hi Anita, a Friend of mine suggested me to check out your blog, as I was talking to him about developing my own Blogging Engine. Well you are using MovableType, Wanted to know what specific Features of MT made you interested in buying it ? And what features that you don’t find on freely available on the blogging sites. Just give me your experience with both Other Blogging sites and MT, and may be additional Features you might want to have to it. Regards Hemal Desai Reply
