Pepper Poha Recipe
It has been busy for the past 2 days here at Chennai.......Was at my perimmas place with my cousins, had a good time together, the much needed break I would say.We had been planning for this get together for the past 2 yrs and am happy that it did happen now.

Was at annanagar today after years, felt a bit nostalgic seeing the places that I have roamed around....the hospital where mittu was born,my shopping times at Nalli,Santosh stores,the restaurants I have been to so many times but still crave for that sambar rice from hotchips and my fav north indian menu from Paramount....aahhh good old memories.
