I got a surprising call from Chennai today. It was my classmate from college (Architect Saravanan) who rang up to inform that he found my name mentioned in the Hindu Magazine yesterday. Instinctively (though asking for too much) I thought it must be one of my buildings that's been featured...but darn! on the contrary and quite unexpected, it was about my food exploits in Afghanistan. Of course I must agree with Viji that at one point of time Ashokism was mistaken by many to be a 'food blog' . I had to force myself from posting more on food and focus my Cam on other equally interesting things in Life.
Viji is at her best when she writes about her favorite subject - Food!
Read her article here...
superb!
ReplyDeleteMan.. you are becoming famous! Someone else whom I was talking to recently said "oh.. that famous guy in Afghanistan.. i read his blog".. way to go!
The Internet. The Hindu....Am tempted to do some crystal ball gazing. Sun TV can feature you. But you called so & so a moron. (ditto for Jaya TV). You have also fought CNN in your most recent posts mate. There are options still ! I see you becoming a star. A star from Kabul ! Wow. Take care. The Talibs dont like publicity !!!
ReplyDeleteAshok..Your name seem to ring a bell to lotsa people when I refer you as architect afghanistan...Wow! U are getting featured in the Hindu..Keep up the postings..
