A Book List -- the one that everyone should read

This blog is essentially a series of recommendations. When I came across a webpage chock-full of book recommendations, it made sense to me to pass it on.

What is truly embarrassing to me is how few of the books from the list I have read. But I guess that simply means that there is so much more for me to discover. To view the list and get started click right here.

Mac vs PC Ads -- I'm a Mac, I'm a PC

Every time the Mac guy makes the PC-guy look klutzy on these TV ads, I find myself laughing out loud. This, in spite of the fact that I am firmly a PC user.

And after it was pointed out to me that the PC guy looks a little like Bill Gates, and the Mac dude is a youngish Steve Jobs lookalike, I've started to enjoy them even more.

There are 3 ads in all: Work vs Home, Out of the Box; and Touche. Check out all three here. (Needs quicktime)

Priya Instant Mixes

If you have dabbled with Indian foods at all, or if you are an Indian who's spent any time outside of India, you've probably tried Gits instant mixes. You may or may not care for them, but you know of them.

One set of mixes which I hardly see mentioned are the Priya brand of mixes. They have a good deal of variety, and I can heartily recommed at least 3: The Kheer mix, Rava Dosa as well as the Upma. (In the US, these are now selling at Buy 2 @ $0.49 each and get a 3rd free, which is an incredibly bargain.)

The Upma packet is good for breakfast for 2, and the kheer (sweet pudding) is wonderful and should serve even 6. I've really enjoyed them these past few months, and I thought it is only fair that I mention it here.
