Sushi or Death? Eerrm. . . Sushi!! By Kj

        
            I have this circle of people with both loyal and two faced chums as all do, and one recent Sunday considering the situation of our country, I asked them a question (deep and of great concern to me) – “What food would you love to taste before you die and worms taste you?”. I got a wide range of responses starting from Belgium chocolates, Hyderabad Biriyani to Pettah achcharu, fresh toddy and one pathetic cotton candy. For my part, I said, “Sushi.”

            Yeah, I’ve never got around to tasting Sushi and thus I join the not-yet-tasted-Sushi-so-not-happening group. However my serious question triggered a spontaneous chain of thoughts, like all serious questions do. As a result, my circle of friends of various sizes and faiths realized with deep apprehension that the way the present communal unrest is, we’ll all be either killed or raped or both, before we could taste our most coveted for dish.

            To the spiritual I say, Alright I agree that we’re wrong to think that only communal riot could bring about death. But the “death is not for me, it’s for the others” gang will understand our state of mind, for, WE ARE’NT READY TO DIE. NOT YET! (and definitely, in my case, not before tasting my sushi).

            Anyway, I’ll be going to this sushi bar in a couple of hours (should I be hung for gobbling sushi while shops are being burnt and babies killed? maybe I should be) and I bet I wouldn’t enjoy it as I think I would (it’s Japanese for god’s sake! I’m just opinionated here) and there’s just this that I should say –

           After I taste my Sushi, does that mean I’d happily and readily die? Of course not. It means I’d develop another object of curiosity for me to try out before I conk out. For, NOBODY wants to die. Not even a Muslim. Nobody wants to be killed. Not even a Buddhist. Nobody wants their hands bloody. Not even a first class drunkard. Everybody wants to live. Even animals. Everybody wants PEACE. Who in the wide world wants to be a racist and part of a communal riot based simply on politics, witness deaths, bloodshed, merciless slaughter and shed silent tears? None.

Pla Ate of the week: Chinese anyone?

If you hang around Mall of Qatar and feel like eating Chinese (Like we felt yesterday), you will find the "Magic Wok" on the 2nd floor. While the chopsey was not different from most, the chicken and noodle was well seasoned. You can choose from rice or noodle or mixed. Also the combo comes with a vege roll and 3 different kinds of sauce. It costs like QR 70 for two.    The combo meal. Extra QR 10 for the orange juice. We opted for the assorted dimsum.

Did you know that Star Fish has no brain?

According to sources Star Fish lack a centralized brain, instead it has a complex nervous system. Maybe this is why Patric Star is dimwitted. Why is this blog giving VIP treatment for Star Fish, Patric Star asks. This is not a  Zoological blog!? In-fact no logic at all Patric pops in again. Star Fish are very special creatures because of their unusual and comic book superhero characteristics. So the star of the day is Star Fish, Patric. Some sea stars are able to regenerate from a portion of severed limb. That is awesome says DP.       They move around using the projections underside of their bodies. Projections are used to move around and also catch prey. P.s - And then there are the boring stuff which goes on. To be continued.

T@ch Tip: Print screen

Have you had the need to have a screenshot of your PC screen? Well most of the keyboards have a Print screen key. I was using this screenshot key until reason a friend pointed me to this tool which was residing on my OS itself. It is more convenient and helps you to crop the area you want unlike the screenshot key where you need to copy it into some photo editor and crop. You can find the snipping tool by simply searching snipping tool in the search box of your Windows 7, 8 or 10 OS.
