oh dear, don't realise how much of a mixture is our tongue. well, jaggery is unrefined sugar from cane, though it can be made from palm sap as well and is called khajur gur. they are ofcourse seasonal and the best is only available in the winter.

Ian you're obviously a great fan of Arsenic and Old Lace. Where in heavens did you get this information from ?? This is the first time I've come across it. For years my mother fed me on almonds crushed into warm milk so my memory would improve before the exams. She really tried, don't think that it ever worked. But I must tell her about the arsenic to psyche her. Should be fun!

By the way we also make chickki in a similar way at home with peanuts and jaggery and saunf or anise. Perfect for winter, sitting in the sun, reading a thriller.

Astrological forecast for Cancer-February 2009

This seems like an eerily accurate description of what's about to happen next month. Funnily enough I am in a time of transition and am also looking after a terribly elderly grandparent.. so pheww this is scary..

Astrological forecast for Gemini - February 2009

Posted at 05:31:32 PM on Feb 01, 2009

I've always wondered why the gemini is called two faced and back stabbing. I've never faced that with the very many gemini males around me, never met a gemini female so don't know much about them. but i always feel that the gemini male has this insane desire to be always the good guy and to be loved by all. it is one of their most irritating traits. is this an exception or by and large the rule??
