To add to your list, the Buddha died after eating tainted pork -- a surprising case of surfeit... yes, most of us still say Madras instead of Chennai -- I stick to Chennai on the blog to avoid confusion.Ramesh Gandhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448755601343354802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291608.post-90689310139944428572007-07-25T06:46:00.000+05:302007-07-25T06:46:00.000+05:30I enjoyed the photographs.

Is it the same for Chennai vs. Madras? <BR/><BR/>Very English to die of a surfeit--King Henry I supposedly died of a surfeit of eels, and John of a surfeit of peaches. (Here in the States, Zachary Taylor died after eating iced cherries and cream, but nobody called it a surfeit.)steve on the slow trainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257811143869341854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291608.post-39944487178468445442007-06-18T13:17:00.000+05:302007-06-18T13:17:00.000+05:30Any post/review about "The Boss" ?- KumarAny post/review about "The Boss" ?<BR/>- KumarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291608.post-60067018293990057882007-06-16T20:25:00.000+05:302007-06-16T20:25:00.000+05:30LVQ, Death Ends Fun went down and saw the original...LVQ, Death Ends Fun went down and saw the original of my logo (which I had found in a book of Indian art, without attribution) -- see here:<BR/><BR/>http://dcubed.blogspot.com/2005/07/tharangambadi-on-my-mind.html<BR/><BR/>I never thought that the original was actually right here in Tamil Nadu!Ramesh Gandhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448755601343354802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291608.post-7025791231047441442007-06-16T19:20:00.000+05:302007-06-16T19:20:00.000+05:30N,Banganappalli's have such a wonderful smell to '...N,<BR/><BR/>Banganappalli's have such a wonderful smell to 'em. I leave them in a basket on the kitchen top, and since I leave the A/C off during the day, when I come back the house smells of ripening mangoes. Don't know how long they'll be available here in S'pore, but it's a nice treat that reminds me of the old "fruit market" near High Court that I frequented as a youth. Don't know if it's still there.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I do miss your old artwork - of the European striding across an Indian rural landscape. Where was that from? It was whimsical, even if somewhat colonial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291608.post-70282386477074198042007-06-11T16:56:00.000+05:302007-06-11T16:56:00.000+05:30oddly enough, I chanced upon yours when I googled ...oddly enough, I chanced upon yours when I googled Sula white.
