A glimpse into Bhutan

I am viewing an interesting program titled 'GOURMET goes Tribal on Foxlife as I am writing this post. Though it is a foody program (in which I am usually not interested), this episode was shot in Bhutan, a beautiful and peaceful country, where I worked for a few years many years back. The presenter, a young Columbian guy compared the tribal dishes cooked in Bhutan with those in his home country. The program is unique in that there are no commercials in between. 

Prathap Pothen

I don't view as many TV programs as I used to until a few days back thereby not knowing as to happenings around.

A few minutes back when I was browsing UTube, I came across a video about the premature death of one of my most favourite actors, Prathap Pothen.

I remember Prathap Pothen's acting in a Tamil movie entitled "Nanjathai killade" released in 1980s. Although the title is a bit embarrasing, my brother told me that it was a good movie. My brother had a Vijay Super scooter and we both went to the movie. It was the only Tamil language movie, as far as I had seen, that never had any obscenity even in romantic scenes. (I think that I had come from Cochin during vacation and my brother had come on a weekend from Trichur, where he was working, at that time). 

The performing industry in the Indian Silver Screen has lost a versatile actor and a good gentleman. 

His fans will remember him for several dignified roles that he played in movies, particularly in Malayalam and Tamil.

Divine Teacher Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calendar. This day is celebrated as Shree Vedavyaasa Jayanthi. This day is also known as Guru Pournimaa.

Amidst a lot of chaos in the British Parliament after Mr Boris Johnson's infamous 'Party', the news that Mr Rishi Sunak is the top contender to the PM's post is a wellcome one.

Best wishes to him. 

Amazing Amazon

In my previous post, I had expressed my frustration encountered in online shopping. I could get my shopping done at Amzon's Online Shopping Platform easily. Thanks to Amazon technical staff.

Online shopping

Technology decelopment in mobile communication and online shopping has brought immense benefits to the average consumer, as most of us experience. But still there are bottlenecks.

I have been trying to place order for my regular use of Amul KoolCafe and Herbal Strategi's mosquitoe repellent. When I try using Netbanking, Google Pay etc., I don't find the name of the bank (in which I hold an account) listed in the options provided by the vendor/s. But even until two months back, I never had any problem in placing online order to buy mosquito repellent from Herbal Strategi. It is a new disadvantage from this vendor.

I think that vendors should try to fix such frustrating conditions.
