Netaji in Nagaland

I came across this TV report on IBNlive which brought back many memories. It was when I was a schoolboy in Nagaland. An aging Naga gentleman had mentioned seeing Netaji's INA march through his village. On seeing my interest he had sat down and talked long about those days. Netaji had come in from Burma with the Japanese. His eyes took on a gleam as he talked animatedly about the march of the Japanese, their food, their equipment and their medicine. The last had amazed the villagers. Apparently the Japs had a lotion that cured cuts in no time at all. The villagers had benefited well from Netaji's march passing through. And he was definitely left in awe!

In the previous post I'd put a picture of Achintya with his Chotodadu when he was just a few months old.

Here's a picture from 2008 Christmas day when we had all visited Innovative Film City (Chotodadu had just bought him the cycle he's riding on the previous evening).

Cakes on wheels


For his first birthday, Achintya had a cute cake shaped like a Volkswagen Beetle. That was from JustBake in Indiranagar.

Today we chanced upon a JustBake that has opened on Varthur Road, quite near our home. And started thinking about cakes as the second birthday approaches. The proprietess told us that the current rage is a Lightning McQueen. The mischievious one that's seen in the eponymous Disney movie. Well well...
