CASTLEEE!!!! why are you soo awesommee? EMILLYY!! why are you so pregnant???

these are two of my top t.v shows of all time. i mean, how can they not be? surprisingly they are completly different from each other! the first is castle, which as you all may know is that show about this author who writes thrillers, rick castle, and how he starts helping at crime scenes to write his next book and cause he's got a might big crush on a certain detective, kate beckett?? hmmmmm? though you can tell there is a mutual atraction , they never really get it together. Bad timing in their relationships? Nope i just think the producers wanted some suspense...
welll the 3rd season is FINALLY coming out..(i bet for all you lucky american people it came out months ago) but here in poor' ol india EVERYTHING takes time. the much awaited season is coming out on 30th may and i'm just dying to see it! im just hoping that it'll live up to my high expectations!

the second t.v show i'm in lurvveee widd <3 <3 is' make it or break it' the gymnastic shingbang about 4 teenage girls trying to make it to the olympics. now as usual, my favourite charecter,Emily has been knocked up! well i cant blame the producers this time as the actress, Chelsea Hobbs, who is 26 btw got herself preggoo... i can just tell this is gonna end up like 'Juno'. obviously being  a self proclaimed human rights activist and all i dont want her to have an abortion( i'm talking about Emily, not Chelsea Hobbs) i just hope she can have the baby and then magicallly get her act together and win something or the other during the olympics!

p.s im not doing the whole capital letter thing as it's a waste of time!

The Chinese Invented gunpowder... but south indians made it famous!

Gunpowder.... It's a word associated with war's , fighting and basically anything gruesome!Fortunately if that word is mentioned anywhere in the midst of Delhi it makes your stomach rumble. It is indeed a fabulous restraunt situated at 22 Hauz Khas village, Delhi.The food is south indian and having just moved here from Kerala where dosa's and idli's rule the food chain, I was having a bout of homesickness and was therefore dying for some chemmeen varathu( prawn fry). So after much weedling and whining on my part we set of for Gunpowder on a burningly hot sunday afternoon. Upon reaching our destination we spent a good 20 minutes searching for the restraunt itself. Finally, we came upon a grimy staircase leading up ... and up... and up...
By the time we arrived at the narrow corridor  leading to the restraunt we had worked up quite an appetite. Lucky for us the climb stood us in good stead as we were ravenous.After much argument, we eventually decided on a sweet and sour prawn curry, panni varuthu( stir fried pork), chicken curry, methi daal, mango chutney and malabar paranthas. The food came surprisingly fast and so without much ado we dug into it. The chicken was quite nice, with the perfect balance of spices and gravy, the prawn( which i was most looking forward to) was , to some extent a bit of a dissapointment as the lime, spices and sugar did not go well together but it was still fairly edible. The dish of the day would have had to be the pork, which was fried to a crisp and tasted like home.the daal didnt look appetizing at all but turned out to be surprisingly delicious as for the mango chutney? one word. Fantabulous!( that is a word , okay?) .To put an end to a perfect meal we ordered 'semiya payasam' which is a sweetdish consisting of milk, sugar, vermicelli and cashews. On a hot day like that it would have been wonderful to eat it cold but I , being my idiotic self, went and stuffed it in the microwave.It still turned out fantastic though. I must say that for those who are in Delhi you must try this restraunt out.. it will knock your socks off ( though in this heat, who wears socks anyway?)

Its All That!

Hi, i'm Aditi Chandna, i'm 14 years old and I live in Delhi ( for those who suck at geography, thats the capital of India). Truth be told my inspiration for this blog is a certain 15 year old girl called Tavi. I've read her blogs and think she is da bomb! The blog itself is gonna be about everything and anything.. but because of the fact that I'm a 14 year old girl it's probably just gonna revolve around the latest t.v shows, the hottest gossip , fashion trends and last but most definately not the least FOOD!! This is something I love, and I'm going to be telling you all about it! well I hope you guys enjoy my blog!
cheers, Aditi.
