वीकेण्ड सॊंन्ग


नटरंग चित्रपटातील ’खेळ मांडला’ या गाण्याच्या चालीवर आधारित
वीकेण्ड सॊंग

किती सांग पहायची फ़्रायडेची वाट
कधी सांग होईल वीकेण्डची पहाट
कसाबसा एक एक वीकडॆ य्हो गेला
आजि फ़्रायडे उजाडला
भेटू मंडेला...
भेटू मंडेला...
भेटू मंडेला... आता... भेटू मंडेला

भारतीय संघाचं अभिनंदन

CA झाल्यापासून; किंबहुना CA करायला लागल्यापासूनच Attempts या संकल्पनेशी ओळख झालीय. तसं बघायला गेलं तर अगदी प्रत्येक गोष्टीशी याचा संदर्भ लावता येतो. परवा भारताचा क्रिकेट संघ विश्च्वचषक जिंकला तेंव्हाचंच बघायला गेलं तर, एखाद्या CA करणा-या मुलाला अनेक Attempts मधल्या अपयशांनंतर फ़ायनली! यश मिळावं ना, तसंच वाटलं असावं भारताच्या संघाला; की झालं बाबा एकदाचं; जिंकलो कप!


हा आपला मी केलेला विचार. काहीही असो, अभिनंदन! संपूर्ण संघाचं! जझबा असाच ठेवावा, जोश असाच ठेवावा, गैर मार्ग अवलंबू नयेत, आणि चाहत्यांचा मान राखावा. GREAT JOB !

Clam Chowder, Crab Sandwich and San Francisco

'Clam Chowder'; I read this world somewhere on Television and I remembered my trip to San Francisco. The very first time when I went to USA and particularly San Francisco.

Pier 39, San Francisco, has some of the most amazing food joints serving delicious sea food. I had gone crazy looking at the menus there. The air smelled so magnificent in itself that my mouth had started to water well before I actually had a bite of the food.

I was walking on the curb, looking at the shops with a coke in my hand when I saw a board which said, 'The best Crab Sandwich of San Francisco'. I didn't even think twice.


It was the first time I had eaten crab meat. It was the first time I had eaten crab sandwich. And it has been The Best crab dish I have ever had. The bread was filled till the last millimeter with soft and tender crab meat. I added fresh lemon juice to it and it turned into a dish with taste which I can actually feel whenever I think about it.

Before I could get over the heavenly taste of the crab sandwich, there was a hunger call again and to answer that call, there was a board which said 'Clam Chowder'. I had read this name for the first time in my life. I did not know what it was and how would it taste, but my uncle had told me about this dish and said that its a famous dish in San Francisco. So I thought of giving it a go.



Clam Chowder is prepared using clams, butter, milk, flour, some cream and pepper. It tastes delicious. Absolutely delicious.

Man.. what a day it was. Ever since I have read the word 'Clam Chowder' on Television a couple of days ago, I have been thinking so much about it. I am missing all of these. Clam Chowder; Crab Sandwich and San Francisco.
