Starting over

My colleague and good friend Sharath Chandra plaincurdrice.blogspot.com has been the inspiration for creating a blog of my own. Hopefully over sometime it will help me regain my fluency in written English, which, thanks to the computer, corporate reports and SMS (mobile texting) has gone for a serious spin.

Today, Sunday, August 19th, 2007 - I start writing my posts.

First let me try to explain the name of my blog - mustardpaste.

The paste from wet grinding mustard seeds is an essential ingredient of the food we cook - from where I come - Bengal - fish without mustard is like well - wine without cheese.

Mustard adds great taste to whatever we cook; yet it is so pungent.

My blog will have posts that are pungent; and posts that are not so pungent (meaning - to take a culinary metaphor - they will be tasty).

Mustardpaste = kasundi is a great blog name indeed. The fish, wine, mustard, cheese linkages also rings a few bells. What abt adding a little PNPC (poro ninda poro charcha) kinda stuff ..it will add to the pungent-ness. What abt pochakasundi.blogspot.com ??
