tambourine man

the other day i saw a young subway musician. This white kid had a guitar and a harmonica and hes doing a pretty nice rendition of tambourine man.

but that's not what i'm talking about. the crazy part is that a mexican wandered over and dropped some cash in his guitar case. A mexican! Holy shit!! folksy white boys are being supported by mexicans. 

But really that's not the point. The point is that you know the kid is poor and not very talented because

a) he's singing on a subway
b) he's singing the song the way it was originally sung. basically his voice has no unique quality or character so that's great karaoke but sucky potential

That's really bathetic. The point though is that bathetic is a real word. I know it sounds like a mallu trying to say pathetic. But that would sound more like bathhetigg da.

But i digress, whats really interesting to note is that sidewalks have little patches of dirt for trees to grow in. Two by two holes in the sidewalk. That by itself is not interesting. What is key in this story is that the mexicans working in the deli on my corner are growing corn in one of these dirt patches. As Jeff Goldblum's character in Jurassic Park says "life, uh, finds a way"

But then you would have to allow for classifying mexicans as 'life' and 'a way' as the right to grow and consume maize that is watered daily with dog pee.

the mind boggles. All you haters out there better realise that mexicans and other hispanics are important members of society. Just like any other socio-economic and cultural bloc, they too are idiots.

steak

there are so many different types of steak. I could sit here listing them out but why should I when you can look it up on wikipedia.

And then there are the sauces that go with steak. Theres the right wine, the right breed of animal. Well done, medium or rare?

So many nuances. The mind boggles with the myriad steak dining possibilities. So many different ways to experience the meat of a stupid animal.

But why? Why must you waste your precious mental energy in crafting a fine dining experience? Why overindulge your taste buds in good food when you can settle for less? Forget about all these inferior steaks. When you are in India there is only one type pf steak.

Thats right, I am talking about PANEER STEAKS. Hardcore!

These things are so rare you wont even find it on wikipedia!

Bur puns aside, just think of a thick juicy hunk of flavourless paneer. mmm yummy! why bother eating something with its own distinct flavour when you can just as easily eat paneer?

but wait! you must, i stress that you must slather a noxious tomato puree all over it. The very best paneer steak is basically just the ingredients of paneer curry slopped onto a plate.

good god what a delicious feast. Tasteless protein, tomato puree and the knowledge that no real effort was put into our food. A triple threat for all you vegetarians out there.

Paneer steak is for monkeys.
