When Tasteless is not bad

I recently tried Taro wafers. Now the first thing that happens to me, when I hear of Taro is the effect of tamarind and what curry it can become.. From the picture.. the taro cubes look more like baon cubes. The wafer tasted sweet and nothing taro...I dont know what to expect of finely powdered taro.. It just seemed more sweet...

Hot Wheels Marie

When I looked at Berta Marie biscuits(bought from Oriental Store), acclaiming themselves to be fashioned after Spain maria biscuits.. I was surprised to find that they looked exactly like the Britannia Marie biscuits I knew.... Heres's a product thats travelled from London to Spain, India and many other countries and retained its look and taste.

Apparel replacements

Lately I bought a red shirt in spirit of an older one or should I say two of them. One is a red muir woods shirt and another grey shirt with arizona on it from a defunct T-shirt shop(they always seem to be lifting shops from there, if last year it was the T-shirt shop, now its the Gloria Jeans coffee shop). The marriage of those two shirts should result in what I have now: a red shirt with Arizona on it.

I used to have nice green half pants from wet seal. They went for a toss with little wear and more tear(blame it on the wash). That was aplain one. But now I have a new green one with 6 pockets. So now our wardrobe is predictable?

Is it cloth-bound comfort zone or just a corollary of our colour preferences? An interesting thing about the color choices , popularity of green and red increases with advanced age. An academic way of sayng, I am getting to the top of the hill faster than it.

Habit and Brains

Say what you want about habit, its been taken to heights where a person is willing to do extra work for the same effect. Like say dictionary.com will very well bring up the page I want, no, I have to type dictionary.reference.com to no added good.On the other end, a smart IIT engineer's laziness led to his unix expertise.

Noncausal effect

Today after a very small hike, I have worse effects than after a moderate one. The whole day went into the black hole of sleep.

Relative noise

I am a big anti noise person. I realised this when I had to work in a lab, with constant noise in it. Now even an event of dragging something on the floor upsets me when its something that can be lifted for the intended dsplacement. For such a person a coffee grinder does make a perceptible sound right. Not really, if one is busy creating a racquet of their own playing memory and losing with a 6 yr old.
