HI!

I am back on Silk, or shall we say Silklist is back on my mail box.  I had
not been receiving silk-list messages for a few weeks now (I subscribe the
digest format).  I have been lurking on this list and must have posted
lesser times than the number of years it has been in existence and hence
unknown to many.

I know there's an introduction-protocol and here goes my re-introduction…
Name – Anil KUMAR; city / country of residence – New Delhi / India;
occupation – lawyer; interests – music, reading, long drives and occasional
camping, trekking, rafting etc.
What prompted me to ramble here today is in the title to this post.  Chilly
Sunday morning here in Delhi, I opened the Brunch (magazine that supplied
with Sunday edition of The Hindustan Times newspaper), leafing through I
notice this article on Travel - Alive as a Dodo - by Mahesh Murthy (I know
he was / is on this list) – about a recent trip to Mauritius.  The
inconspicuous mention of "Enthu Cutlets" caught my attention and triggered
memories of college days in Bangalore.  It is real nice to see South Indian
lingo in North Indian news papers.  It is nice to see South India specific
programmes on television.  Thankfully, generalizing all South Indians as
Madrasis is no longer done in North India.

I'm not aware of the origin of 'Enthu Cutlets' or whether it was / is in use
in other parts of India but it is something I haven't heard for a long time
now (and never in Delhi).  Reading it today in Hindustan Times was like a
connection to home, a blast from the past.  Thanks to Mahesh Murthy!

Anil Kumar
