Mushroom soup - something somehow totally alien to me, someone who has been obsessed with mushrooms since they were a child. I think I had it once and it was gritty and horribly textured and it put me off, and then the idea never really occurred to me.
Anyway my mum mentioned it on the phone the other day and I though, this sounds like the time of year for it, so I gave it a shot.
It's mostly just standard white mushrooms but I also threw in a mixture of dried Chinese pearl mushrooms and dried woodland ones I'd soaked and chopped up.
With celery, onion and garlic cooked down first, lots of olive oil. Fresh thyme and chopped dill. A little crushed aleppi chilli & paprika. Stock obvi. Seasoned at the end with a little apple cider vinegar that has blackcurrant juice through it & walnut oil. Then a touch of cream blended through.
Then served with a dribble more of the cream, walnut oil and blackcurrant vinegar.

* * * In die laaste paar uur het 'n bomaanval die internasionale lughawe van Aleppo, die tweede stad van Sirië. Die bediening self het dit gekommunikeer Siriese verdediging, wat die verantwoordelikheid vir die aanval aan die Israeliese lugmag toegeskryf het. “Omstreeks 04:30 – lui 'n nota gepubliseer oor die Sana-agentskap – die Israeliese vyand 'n lugaanval vanaf die Middellandse See, wes van Latakia, op die lughawe uitgevoer internasionale lughawe in Aleppo, wat materiële skade aan die teer aangerig het en die lughawe buite sit
diens". Dit is nie die eerste keer dat die lughawe geteiken word nie. In Maart meer klopjagte toegeskryf hulle het reeds ernstige skade aan die Israeliese lugmag aangerig. Die regering van die Joodse staat, vanaf op sy beurt is hy al jare lank besig met operasies wat daarop gemik is om Iranse teikens te teiken teenwoordig in Siriese grondgebied. As tot verlede jaar die strooptogte in die suide van Sirië en in die Damaskus-gebied, vir 'n paar maande nou het die bomaanvalle ook geraak Aleppo.
* * * In ultimis paucis horis bombing aeroportus internationalis afficit Aleppo, urbs Syriae secunda. Ministerium ipsum communicavit
Defensio Syriaca, quae responsalitatem populationis Israelis vi aeris attribuit.
"Circum 4:30 - legit notam editam in Sana propellente - Israelis inimicus"
ferri airstrike ex Mediterraneo, Latakia occidente, contra aeriportum

Imperium iudaicum, from ex parte, versatus est in operationibus quae scopos Iranianos in annos nisi sunt praesens in territorio Syriaco. Si ad annum usque ad meridiem coactae populationes Syria et in area Damasci, iam aliquot menses bombingae etiam affectae sunt Aleppi.

The best trip ever!!!
The planning was on for months. Vacation applied 6 months prior to the trip. This was the kind of dedication we had for this trip.
I was here in Gurgaon working for an MNC and my very good friends Sayantan and Rashi work as risk managers for a bank in Bangalore. This trip happened in May 2022 and had many reasons to happen. 1. We hadn't met in a long time. 2. My friends in Bangalore were tired of their tedious life. 3. It was Rashi's birthday (23rd May). 4. It was my wife's birthday too in the same week (27th May). 5. It would be "trippy" to celebrate two birthdays on this trip. 😂
We reached Bangalore early morning at 6 AM and the journey from the station to their house was more than 30 km. If you are in Bangalore this is the minimum travel distance to meet someone in the middle of the city. This is the reason I don't like Bangalore a lot. So we reached and Sayantan who was half asleep opened the door just because he thought that the maid has come. It is just like everywhere; people don't matter at all, but maids do. After a full afternoon of chit-chat, we left in the evening to get our rental car, which we planned to drive all the way to Munnar. We made all preparations for Rashi's birthday at midnight. We called some of her friends, we cooked, they drank and we played. At midnight it was "Happy Birthday Rashi" ❤️😇
Once all of the other friends left, we cleaned up the house and got all packed up for our trip. We left at 3:30 AM in the morning on the 23rd of May. I, Shalini, and Rashi were on the verge of sleeping since we didn't get rest in the last 24 hours. Sayantan on the other hand, the night owl and our only driver, was beaming with energy. I was sitting on the seat next to the driver, to give him company on this 12-hour drive. But I could not keep up with the expectations and started to nap at intervals. Bumps on the road or brakes on the highway were my push to wake up and act like I was not asleep. Our itinerary was planned in such a way that we would stay in Munnar, Aleppy, and Munroe Island over a span of 5 days. But no one knew that our plans will fail so desperately.
Anyways, the journey was tough and exciting at the same time. Sayantan had a hard time just before we were to reach our destination. We had coffee and Maggi at regular intervals during our journey. Finally, at 3PM, we reach Munnar's homestay which we booked for ourselves. It was a 2-floor cottage with one room each and it was huge and beautiful. Sayantan and Rashi took the top floor and we took the ground floor. We got freshened up and napped for a while and it was 7 PM quickly. Afraid that we won't be getting any food to eat in this remote area, we dressed up and rushed to the nearest market. Thankfully we got all the Maggi, coffee, and milk powder packets as our backup. Later we found a great place to eat named "FRIENDS Restaurant" where we ended up having dinner every day for the rest of the trip.
Today was a new day (24th May). The view from the property was amazing. Could, mountains, peace, and tranquility, all in one place. It was a romantic stay I must say. We had our breakfast and tea at the hotel itself and left for sightseeing. Today's destination was "Top Station". As the name suggests, it was a very high altitude point, and although it was just a 50 KM drive but took us 3 hours to reach since we had to stop at every picturesque location on the way. We found a beautiful location while returning from the Top station where we put up 4 chairs and simply enjoyed the view with some music and food. After experiencing a beautiful sunset, we got all ready to get back home and suddenly Rashi realized that she has misplaced her work spectacles which were very important. We stopped at each point on our way back to check the area but we were out of luck. The poor girl had to wear her power sunglasses for the rest of the trip.
The next morning (25th May) we were welcoming Rashi's recently married friend Sakshi and her husband Manish. Post breakfast we all left for an adventure ride at "Ripple Adventure Park". There we had to zipline from one end to another and cycle back to the first point. The feeling was really amazing since the river flowing under us was looking magnificent. Sayantan was scared as hell and it took a lot of convincing to get him to do it. But finally, we all came out of there very happy. Next, we left for the "Matupetty Dam". It was raining heavily so we took our time to reach there. The rain was continuous so we only managed to get a few pictures. We came home, had dinner, played some games, and went to bed. We loved Munnar so much that we canceled the entire itinerary and requested the owner for extending our stay by three more days. We still had hope but in the end, the owner agreed. Our lazy asses were very happy that night.
Today (26th May) we had a lazy start to the day. Manish and Sakshi had taken the car and went sightseeing while we were still trying to wake up. In the evening we went to a bridge nearby and sat on the stones to listen to the water flow. It was very soothing. It was raining heavily on the hills, hence the water level increased and we have to run from there. We left for a stroll, in our car of course, and caught glimpses of the waterfalls near to us. Post sunset we went to the market as we had to make some preps for Shalini's birthday tomorrow. Sayantan was busy buying masalas and we booked a very local cake at a local store in the market. I was not in favor to take it but we had no other choice. The last shop we visited was a bakery "Annapurni by Nimi's Recipies" and trust me it was simply amazing. I got another cake from there and I prepared a wishlist of the things I will take back from here.
Sayantan has already asked the homestay owners to arrange for a bonfire tonight on the occasion of a birthday celebration. We were given wood and kerosene oil for the same. Before midnight struck, I, Sayantan, and Manish put in all efforts to light up the bonfire meanwhile the girls were getting ready. The preparations were done, the cake was ready and so were the party poppers. It was great fun with all six of us. We partied, played dumb charades, and did a little dance as well. A very very happy birthday wifey!!! I wish to make your upcoming birthdays more special. And thanks to all of you guys for making it awesome.
Since the night was long, we still had to get up early today (27th May) as I had confirmed the jeep safari guy to be at our location at 11 AM. We left in a Thar for a 2-3 hour ride that covered 5 different locations in Munnar. Some of the locations were "Hanging bridge", "Ponmudi/Idukki Dam" and "Nadukani Para viewpoint". The locations were very good but the off-roading experience was something we would take back with us in our memories. After completing the safari, we were dropped back at the homestay. Manish and Sakshi had to leave in the evening for a different location so we quickly had lunch and dropped them at the bus stop in Munnar market. They are really great people. Today was our last night in Munnar so we left for the Madupetty Dam once again. We had to find a beautiful location for our pictures and we did find a very beautiful spot. Shalini really loved it. We had our full of pictures and drove back in the rain after sunset.
We checked out of the homestay (28th May) at the usual time of 10 AM since we wanted to avoid traffic. While coming to Munnar we spotted a place where we had to trek down from the road to the riverfront. The river was flowing in a very thin stream there. We kept close attention while returning and found that place. We took an hour's break and enjoyed the view there.
We had our lunch and dinner at roadside dhabas. Sayantan drove really well and we reached our home in Bengaluru after midnight. Everyone was super tired so we all crashed. We had our flight to Delhi today evening so Sayantan planned to prepare chicken for lunch.
This trip is very dear to me. I celebrated my wife's 30th birthday with some amazing people by my side. I wish we can have more such plans in the future. Leaving you all with the best picture of the trip. Until then Hasta-La-Vista baby.

Voodoo!
I just had a deja-vu!
So, I've been re-watching season 1 of "Death in Paradise" (in English this time) and episode 3 begins like this:
And just yesterday I was watching the Italian series "Il Maresciallo Rocca", and the fourth episode of season 2 begins like this:
QUESTION: how did this woman travel through space and time to appear in two different series nearly fifteen years apart, by two different productions of three different Countries, one set in the Caribbeans and the other in Lazio, telling two different cases of two different detectives?!?! XD
Jokes aside:
Angélique Morel from "Death in Paradise" is played by Mona Hammond.
Mrs. Aleppi from "Il Maresciallo Rocca" is played by Zoe Incrocci who sadly died in 2003.

Die klopjag op Aleppo
Die "Aleppino" lughawe het beide 'n logistieke en 'n simboliese belang. Die lughawe is eintlik fundamenteel vir die brose Siriese ekonomie, wat worstel met 'n nimmereindigende konflik en met Westerse sanksies. Die belangrikste ambagte van die land gaan hier deur, met inagneming van die funksie van Aleppo as die "ekonomiese hoofstad" van Sirië. Maar die lughawe is ook 'n simbool van die weerstand van die Damaskus-weermag teen Islamitiese en opposisiegroepe wat vir vier jaar, van 2012 tot 2016, het hulle die stad met lojaliste betwis. Inderdaad, die struktuur is altyd in die hande van die weermag gebly, wat dus voortdurend kon ontvang voorrade selfs tydens die mees kritieke fases van die geveg wat in Desember 2016 geëindig het.
Daarom, vir die regering van president Bashar Al Assad, om klopjagte binne die lughawe te ondergaan
verteenwoordig 'n groot slag op baie fronte. Volgens die jongste inligting ten minste twee bomme
hulle het op die aanloopbane neergestort en dit het die Aleppo-lughawestelsel in 'n stilstand gebring. Daar
struktuur is gesluit en daarom kan die vliegtuie nie opstyg of land nie. Van Damaskus
militêre bronne het gespesifiseer dat werk gedoen word om op die laatste 'n heropening te verseker
Binnekort. Die owerhede se hoofdoelwit is om ekonomiese en logistieke ontwrigting tot die minimum te beperk
perseel, maar met die spook van verdere klopjagte in die volgende paar dae.
Die 28 Augusti 2023
Ad populandum Aleppo
Aeroportus "Aleppino" habet momentum logisticum et symbolicum. Aeroportus est re vera fundamentalis ad fragilem oeconomiam Syriacam, luctationis cum conflictu inexhausto et cum Occidentis sanctionibus. Praecipuae patriae negotiationes huc transeunt, considerantes munus Aleppi sicut "capitis oeconomicus" Syriae. Sed elit etiam symbolum de resistentiis exercitus Damasceni contra islamistam et adversas factiones quae for quattuor annis ab MMXII ad 2016 urbem cum bonis certaverunt. Immo structura est semper penes exercitum, quod inde recipere poterat, semper manebat supplet etiam in discrimine gravissimorum incrementa pugnae quae mense Decembri 2016 finivit. Ideo ad regimen Praesidis Bashar Al Assad, ut excursiones intra aeroportus patiantur ictum majus in multis frontibus repraesentat. Secundum notitias recentissimas in duobus saltem bombs in cunis crepuerunt et hoc systema aeriportum Aleppo in tailspin misit. Ibi compages clausa est, ideoque plana nec auferre nec terra possunt. Damascen fontes militares denominaverunt opus esse factum ut ad novissimum recluderetur Mox. Disruptionem oeconomicam et logisticam obscuratis principale propositum est auctoritatum praemittit, sed spectris ulteriorum incursionibus insequentibusque diebus.

Drabble
My friend Nagy
He was so close to me and we were batch mates. I introduced him to existentialism and Jean Paul Sartre and I was an avid fan of his book: Being and Nothingness. Nagy warned me that the book is dark and depressive and makes one to suicide. But I did not feel that away and the book was an awakening of my consciousness. Years later Nagy married a Canadian and had two children and was leading a happy life. And one night the news came to me that he committed suicide and I became aghast and then thought of the suicide that he mentioned to me. Yes, life is a funny, sad riddle.
Erotic Anecdote
I have a significant other who lives in the Philippines. And our first meeting was a pleasant one. She loved experimenting with different positions and all that was new to me. The funny thing that happened was she used mouth lotion to wash her precious parts and I had a funny taste when lingered in hers, a taste of the sweet lotion. Yes she is an affectionate bitch and I am so fond of her.
Gnats
It’s after the rains they come swarming like little clouds. We have to off of the lights or then will come and take shelter in the room. They lay on the wall like singing poems. Yes sometimes they resemble mucous. They flirt their wings like tiny angels. The coming of gnats herald a sign that the rains are over.
The Beach
Yesterday I was in a town Aleppy known as the Venice of the East. The town is renowned for its splendid backwaters and its pristine beaches. I arrived at the beach late evening and looking at the horizon, I saw the sun dancing with the waves like a musical symphony. People were flocking in the beach like a swarm of mosquitoes. I gazed at the pretty women with their Kurtis (dress worn by the woman) lifted up to their ankles wading and enjoying themselves in the water. The waves of the sea in motion were like poems recited. The sky was a picture of a serene virgin. Seeing the evening settling on to the night, I felt I needed the warm embrace of the sea and felt playing with the music of the loins.

Friday 7 December
I arrived at the Thomas Homestay in Alappuza (locals call the place Aleppy). With a name like mine how could I stay anywhere else? Just as I got here 3 of the others were leaving to go on an over night house boat trip and asked if I could join them. So I said sure and off we went. Vladimir is 62, and was an executive with an international company in Germany, when he said he suddenly got the. Urge to see the world, so he quit his job and came to India. Antonia and Carlotta had just graduated from high school in Germany,and were traveling before university. Aleppy has hundreds of miles of canals and is famous for cruises on various types of boats. Ours was small, it only held the 4 of us and the 2. Crew members. What an experience! Slowly cruising through a tropical paradise with calm waters and cool breezes. Eating wonderful meals prepared for us. That evening, we tied up in a remote area and Vladmir played "Oldies but goodies" on a boom box that was on board. Everything from EmiLou Harris, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Beatles, CCR, Doris Day, Leonard Cohen, Elvis, and on and on. What a trip down memory lane! To my absolute amazement the girls knew the words to all the songs. Carlotta told us her 92 year old grandmother is a Johnny Cash fan. So we all enjoyed the music in a truly magical setting and I actually stayed up until after midnight, something that doesn't happen very often.
