Good weekend

BALU
This weekend, I had good time.Saturday morning got up from a satisfying sleep at 11...had lunch and got engrossed in local newspaper( headlines...were quite interesting..it was about chinese tourists...how they were rude ....it was basically to warn singaporean authorities to tackle sucj kind of situations) then had lunch and set out to play cricket at our univ ground.Many people turned up by 1530 and as ususal dinish and naveen choose the teams and as ususal i was in naveen team.first match we were very close,but finally we loose they scored arnd 60 and we were arnd 50 all out..this was the first time i was very stable during batting for about 20 min...i hit one four and abt 10 -12 single runs...but i was runout later...then second match we batted first and scored arnd 55 and i was runout soon.Dinish's team could not stand ramakanth's and sharath's bowling.they got out soon.Only Dinish was stable for a while.but he gave me a catch.he went for cover drive and i took a good catch there.finally we won the second match.
Later that night i went to Dinish's place.They were cooking chicken so i joined them.i thought they would cook hicken with gravy and stuff .But to my suprise Reju sir..who had taken the incharge of our dinner was interested to experiment.So he and Jinu decided to grill chicken instead of roasting.They started with removing the skin of the chicken ..as all the three are very consicous of fat...so their experiment had to take care that ISSUE.But the method and reciepe were simple.First they took raw chicken... washed it thouroughly and then cut into pieces.Then they made deep cuts into the flesh.Simultaneously,they were making a paste which would be put on the chicken pieces.I was basically observing and asking questions...Reju sir took some salt,some chilli powder,some pepper powder,tumeric powder and mixed with little oil to make whole stuff to a paste.Then he applied this paste on the chicken pieces...Now it looked lot professional and nothing experimental :).Then they put the stuff in a grill oven for 20 minutes ...Intially it appreared that grill was not working......but finally we could see the chicken changing its color.After 30 min...we could smell the chicken...properly cooked.
We had a great dinner with that grilled chicken .....we spent only 5 sgd for chicken,electricity and other consumables...simple method...that too for four people...and most importantly it was the success of an experiment....no wonder as we were all researchers..and success in experiment is always welcomed :).
i came home that night with a satisfying dinner and then read a new book( The Hungry tide by Amitav gosh) ..actually not finished yet.Sunday..morning came to office did some work...and then went back late in the evenign and continued reading tat book.
so finally to conclude... i had a good time this weekend with cricket and AWESOME dinner.
