London trip and filter coffee

After a long time, we went to London for my friends wedding treat. (The wedding has finished long back :-)). After a good lunch (work out) at Chennai Restaurant in Eastham, we were shopping around a bit. I came across Bru Roast and Ground and immediately had thoughts of my old times aroma filled filter coffee. Hmmmm.... Immediately I bought it and a day later a French press filter. I had to do with it since I forgot to get a stainless steel filter when coming back from India. I have never made filter coffee before and relying on my intuition and experimental nature :-). As I write, a good aroma is spreading through the house from the coffee filter. The tough part is to get the correct decotion level and the thickness of milk. Enough rambling...

Shivaji once again...

I saw Shivaji movie once again, this time in Bristol cineworld itself. Kool. Happy and ready for a ride some group of guys got together to watch the movie. I enjoyed the movie second time (first I saw the premier show in Birmingham) this time without missing all the jokes which I had missed the first time during my laughter ;-). Rajni and Shankar combination, both has worked out very well. Rajni style is marvelous, Shankar's direction is superb with Shriya gorgeous throughout the movie. The movie was little bit longer, nevertheless forgetting to mention Vivek doesn't do the proper justice. The comedy and punch dialog section completely belongs to him. Hats off to him. I liked the movie very much.
