SEAL Team Six and others

How much load a human body can sustain ? One might ask US Navy SEALs for the answer. Joe McNally showed us some inside view of the faces during Hell Week and "SEAL Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite Navy SEAL Sniper" gives the view from the recruits'.

Wondering if we can find such information/books on our Indian counterparts ?

An amazing musical evening

I think the best musical evening in my life still now. Yesterday I spent the evening with Ustad Fazal Qureshi, Milind Date, Ravi Iyer and Sridar Parthasarathy. We spent first two hours in a room on the 18th floor of Marriott talking on various topics. Then they put the fire on stage for the next 30 minutes :) Photos and videos will come out in next few days.

I love my Fedora desktop wallpapers

An experiment (Making cake at home )

Raw materials required:

200gm Maida
200gm Sugar
100gm butter
6 eggs
One and half tablespoon baking powder
One tablespoon Vanilla essence

Procedure:

Crush the sugar and mix it with vanilla and eggs and the butter (make it hot so that it melds). Mix them well. In another place mix baking powder and maida, and then put the egg+sugar mix on top of it. Stir it slowly and in one direction , try to keep air bubbles minimum. On a glass bowl put little bit butter all over and put some dry maida on the wall. Then put it on refrigerator for few minutes. After that put the pix into it, put it on microwave oven. Put it for Microwave+Convection for around 15 minutes. Check for the color and smell in between.
