I have somehow convinced myself and the rest of the sane world that I can cook. This is not entirely true. But then the convincing part is easy. you cant do much with food anyway, other than overcook it, put more salt in it and essentially kill the natural flavor of the food. This sort of thing is common in india but people accept it as normal, the same way people take fungal infections. They had it for so long that now its normal for them and when they discover otherwise its probably too late. Here I am going to tell you how to make pepper chicken curry the way nobody would have ever told you.

When I was in School, I was very weak in Mathamatics. I don't understand this, because most of the IQ test which I had taken up on the Net said I have a "rare mathematical ability". I badly want to believe that this is the truth. Who else other than me, with this rare mathematical ability would say that SineA/SineB = A/B. Guess how I got that. No prizes for guessing, Sine and Sine were cut away and now you have a "rare mathematical ability". We had a teacher in school who made this remarkable comparison when we went to him with the corrected answer sheets and begged for one more mark to make the total for the passing score. We used to say things like--scratching our heads--the works, to look ur most pitiable self "sir, sir, sir ,simple mistake sir, steps are correct sir, one mark sir, please sir--" its a bad scene, Believe me, you don't wanna be there. He in turn said this story about simple mistakes. Simple mistake ?, I'll tell u a story. A tr
