Yet another terror attack on our nation.Well this time i want to keep it short. Call it frustation never mind, please see  my depiction of what happens next as a follow up to this heinous act of terror. I leave it to you readers to infer more on this.

This week end i had been to the VSMS outlet in gandhi bazaar area. This stall is located on the gandhi bazaar main road.

They call themselves as the  ”mysorepak people” as the mysorepak has been their delicacy . How ever they have a lot of varieties of sweets to offer and their menu has numerous delicious sweets/savories and snacks that you can relish in a small yet intresting  location. VSMS offers a wide variety of good quality sweets/savories/snacks that you can think of.

As soon as you enter the place you would need to pass through a small passage the side of which the sweets have been arranged in glass shelves. There are around 3-4 such huge shelves which eventually leads you to a place where all the savories have been placed.

After this is a chat/snack corner opposite to which are placed 6-7 colorful tables with a appx seating capacity of 4 people each.

They also offer a decent washing place with drinking water which is essential. The place is also a host to a air conditioner to keep you cool while you relish your favourite sweet/snack.You can find a huge variety of snacks including pav bhaji’s , channa batura , samosa’s, veg rolls , pani puri , bhel puri , badam milk  , milk shakes , icecreams (to name a few) and a long list for you to choose from.

The snack menu had been stuck to a pillar with a pretty decent , organized and colorful presentation.

The only drawback is that the billing area is a bit cramped and is on the way where people have to enter /exit the place.

The rates i should say are in par with other competitors (though i wish they were slightly lower) and VSMS offers probably the widest variety of sweets that you can imagine. The place is most suitable for evening snacks and for buying/ordering sweets for various party occasions. It can also be a good “adda” for college students looking for a place for treats.

Yes , India and Russia will soon roll out one of the finest fighter jets which would be fully stealth and it is called the sukhoi PAK-FA. There would be two versions one for the russian and another for the IAF best suiting their respective war fares. What is more intresting to know is that , looks like this fighter is being built as a competitor for the american F-22 Raptor which is supposed to be the best stealth fighter existing in today’s world.

The indian version of it would be a twin seater and the russain version would be a single seater. I think its high time the IAF starts replacing the MIG squadrons with 5th generation figthers. Sukhoi PAK-FA’s and the Sukhoi-MKI’s would make a lethal combination and would send jitters to the enemies.

Finally for all those avaiation enthusiast’s waiting to see how the new stealth monster looks like , here is a real pic of the sukhoi PAK FA (courtesy : Moscow times):

Waiting to see this machine in action soon……

We had a need to buy a wet grinder (a lighter one and modern one) to replace our old electric grinder which is a hefty one that you find in the grain mills. It weighs roughly around 30-35kgs and can help you build muscles if you are medelling with it frequently .

I had a look at a few common brands in the market and finally chose the one for us. Curious?…….. It’s called the ULTRA which is a table top wet grinder. I decided to write a review because i am quite impressed with the way it is designed and the way it works. I would say it can be a asset to the house wives looking for a light and efficient wet grinder.

The features that are significant for any table top wet grinder are as follows:

a) Weight – This one is really light and light enough that older ladies too can handle it with ease.

Light weight grinder

b) Grinding Efficiency – This is excellent too. Roughly 1 kg of rice would take 20minutes for a perfect grind. This saves a lot of eletricity and time.

Twin stones

c) Ease of cleaning – The container is detachable and the stones are positioned in a way that are eaisly rotatable and can be cleaned with bare hands. (A small soft brush would make the cleaning even better if you want it sparkling all the time).

Detachable container

This grinder is priced at appx Rs.5700.

For those who look for ratings in my opinion the Ultra takes a easy 4.5 stars out of 5 . I would definitely recommend this product for any body who is looking for a modern wet grinder.

Enjoy your Idlis/dosas with a ULTRA……
