Earlier my mother would share the same through postcards and hand written letters with the extended family. FB has just made it simpler. Though I am not, my Dad is on there and I sometimes get to see his travel pics from his FB status and then later through Picasa. How else could we do it now ?"<br /><br />This post has nothing to do with FB, not sure why people are picking on the FB thing though that was just a single line mention !!!! I was talking about the general world order as I see it, the attitude, the arrogance.<br /><br />Yes, when my Dad posted status about Ravi Shankar's demise, there were at least 3 who liked it and he has what maybe 10 people on his FB friend list.Bong Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-54400858451708622752013-01-11T23:06:41.307-05:002013-01-11T23:06:41.307-05:00We can make FB as personal or impersonal as we wan...We can make FB as personal or impersonal as we want to. My own way of using FB has changed significantly since I joined - initially, there was a temptation to upload lot of pix, etc. And it feels unreal (though very nice) when people comment on your photos. Even a whine seems to be too personal/childish to share sometimes because FB feels like a public platform. Many times I find myself wanting to say something and shying back. All said and done, I enjoy it very much and I really love the instantaneous nature of communication. <br /><br />As for likes, I find that people seem to be getting 50, 60, 70 likes for whatever they post on FB. This is a recent phenomenon, I've not seen so much before. Even for tragic news and updates, people like it, post photos, post pics of themselves crying over it and stuff - wth????????!!!srahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243944393796831559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-35267379305821429902013-01-11T22:54:43.076-05:002013-01-11T22:54:43.076-05:00Hi Sandeepa!
Have been referring to your recipes ...Hi Sandeepa!<br /><br />Have been referring to your recipes off and on though don't remember whether posted a comment or not. I'll go with Aparna and say I love the way you write.<br /><br />Its but a coincidence that I made aloo peyanjkoli bhaja just yesterday and it did come out well, as it always does, without any elaborate ingredient/process. However, I never put any phoron to it. Just plain aloo and peyanjkoli straight in oil. But now I shall try out your kaalo jeera chhonk, for sure.<br /><br />Incidentally, I did try your caramel pudding and it came out oh so well. My mom used to make it regularly when we were young but now she ( an octogenarian) has forgotten the recipe completely. That's why I had to take recourse to your blog, once again!!!<br /><br />However, I steamed it in the pressure cooker because I was not very comfortable making a water bath in the oven. 20-25mts without the weight and it was just right. Thanks once again for the exact measurements.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Geetashree vanderloosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974007236500702721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-82848464087343063132013-01-11T21:29:19.408-05:002013-01-11T21:29:19.408-05:00The bumper sticker with the school name is a tag w...The bumper sticker with the school name is a tag where we live :) Simple but delicious Bengali dish!Chamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06912395013740648068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-88430841406083272062013-01-11T18:44:08.684-05:002013-01-11T18:44:08.684-05:00Bongmom, i love the way you write, love your recip...Bongmom, i love the way you write, love your recipes even more<br />AparnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-19652311853487287812013-01-11T13:53:00.921-05:002013-01-11T13:53:00.921-05:00This sounds delicious.
