How to make chicken pepper curry

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. Dont worry too much about it because I am not gonna confuse you with measure this and so many spoonfuls of that and such stuff. Here's what you will need.

1. Chicken - How much ever you like (see I told you, its gonna be simple)
2. Pepper - I add it so that I get the smell of pepper, not the firey spice in it. but frankly its up to you.
3. Green chillies - Depends on your taste - if you want toilet tissue paper to catch fire the next day, add more. if you want it less hot, well add less.
4. Garlic cloves - well not too much of it anyway - 5-6 cloves would do for a normal sized chicken.
5. cooking oil - your taste .
6. onions - one onion would do. I dont use onions anyway.
method:
Pour the oil into a thick bottomed vessel (dont ask me what vessel - I dont know and frankly I dont care - any thing that you feel in which a chicken can be cooked) to saute the garlic and the onions. put in the chicken, add pepper and the green chillies , add salt to your taste and cook over a slow fire till cooked. try not to add any water. the slow fire is important. keep the vessel covered when cooking. this is to make sure among other things that curious gecko's dont fall into it . it also helps in the cooking.
when you feel the chicken is cooked (how do you know that - simple, eat a piece from the pot and if it tastes cooked, then I suppose it is cooked) well, eat it.

disclaimer: The author is not a good cook. he just claims that he is. so do this at you own risk.

Production Support - What it means to be 24/7

I used work in - what is called in corporate parlance, a 24/7 Company. I used to feel perfectly normal. My friends and wife thought I was a zombie. This I had dismissed as a subjective observation but lately, I have been thinking that there might have been some truth in that observation. Let me explain why I feel that way I used to drive to my office on a motorbike. Its a 20 kms drive one way. So very complex rocket science math will tell the cautious reader that I drive 40 kms at the least everyday (tadaaa). I used to do night shifts or again in Corporate parlance; "the graveyard shift". My wife asks me one day if I remember anything that I saw on the roads that was worth mentioning when driving. I thought she had gone crazy. Why would I remember anything that i saw and what was the poin........Hey, hold on, wait a minute. jees, I don't actually remember anything nor can I recall which way I came. 'Holy Pulsar' what is happening ? I drove on auto-pilo...

Anecdotes from Sainik School, Kazhakootam - "Simple Mistake".

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...
