Bangkok crispy chicken

Fan Fang is nicely located so that it can be easily located from the intersection after the South Overbridge. With a subtle chinese look from outside and less so inside, don’t let the decor or ambiance fool you. Just because it does not fit exactly into a ‘chinese’ ambiance doesn’t make the restaurant’s food taste bad. Well lit and airy, the simplistic spartan style may be liked by those who prefer good food to cosmetic appearances.
Food itself is hot and piping, the kitchen is open to your gaze so that you have your heart at ease and your stomach growling waiting eagerly wishing that each order that comes next is yours! Soups take a deviation from your regular ‘chinese’ menus.

Oriental Pot Rice

Chicken thai rice

Banana fritters with icecream

To have a meal in house or take out either ways, the quality of the food is good. For a meal of two with soups, a starter and a rice and a side dish, it would cost you Rs 200 per person. If it leaves you satisfied and full then it’s worth the money. Don’t let this article be the judge, eat there and find out yourself the delights of Fen Fang.

Experts say with these developments, Kochi is going to be one of the top bid teams. Another city that is predicted to win is Ahmedabad with Adani Enterprises, Sahara Group and ICICI bidding for the city. Adani group and Sahara is all set to “show them the money”. Days till March 21st (last day of submitting bids) will be very tensed and only when they open the bids the same day will our anxiety be put to rest. Till than we can just hope for the best because as of now Kochi could not have a better chance. We have our fingers crossed. GO KOCHI!!

The decision was made only after 3 companies submitted bids while 10 companies bought tender documents. These unopened tenders were returned to the bidders. The revised Invitation To Tender (IIT) will be made available on March 9th and the bids will be open on March 21 in Chennai. The 2 qualifiers that companies had a problem with was

• The company should demonstrate a net worth of nearly Rs. 5000 crores.
• The company that wins the auction needs to pay $100 million as advance guarantee.

According to the revised rules the Rs. 5000 crores net worth clause has been removed and winners need to pay only $10 million as advance guarantee.

The Muthoot Papachan group (who was reportedly backing Mohanlal and Priyadarshan) initially had backed out from the race and now will be studying the new terms and will let the board decide if they will take part in the auction. So Kochi’s IPL dream is not over and there is hope.

(Wonder what made Lalit change his mind.. )

Soon after I arrived in Kochi I felt like I had hit a brick wall.  I felt like my life had been taken away from me.  Being a woman in Kochi is not like being a woman anywhere else.  I soon realized that certain things are expected from women here and if they aren’t fulfilled then you have society looking down on you.

I quickly learned what it felt like to be a woman in Kochi once I felt a man’s hand brush up against my butt or chest.  Well to be honest it was about the third or fourth time this happened that I realized what I was up against.  The first one or two times I thought maybe it was an accident, but then it started happening all of the time.  For some reason these men felt like they had the right to touch me inappropriately.   Why did they think that this was ok?  It’s almost as if they feel they are above me, so therefore they can touch me.  This has happened to me so many times that I have lost count.  Every time this happened there was always plenty of room around and no need to get so close.  I told my husband about this and he was angry because I didn’t say anything to the men.  He would give me a pep talk about how independent and strong of a woman I am.  He would tell me to shout at them and make a scene.  And each time we had a conversation like this I was ready for the next time it would happen.  I was ready to shout.  I was ready to make a scene.  I would play it over and over in my head to mentally prepare myself. And then it would happen.  I would get touched inappropriately,  again, and, I would do nothing.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!!  Why am I behaving like this?  Perhaps it may be because I feel like nothing will happen.  I feel like here it’s not considered an issue.  I feel like hundreds maybe thousands of women get touched everyday and nothing happens.   It’s an everyday occurrence here.  It’s how people live.  If I did make a scene would the police get called? Probably not.  Would the man get arrested? Probably not. Would he touch another woman the next day? Probably.  I really don’t know what would happen I’ve never made a scene to find out.  Why do we, as women here in Kochi, put up with this?  Why are we allowing men to feel as if they are above us?

It is not our fault that we are complacent here in Kochi. Society has made us that way.  For instance some women do speak out.  Their story often ends up on the news.  And not in a positive light.  There is always someone in the story saying that it was the girl’s fault that she got touched.  It was the girl’s fault that she got raped.  It was the girl’s fault that something happened to her, when all she was doing was walking down the street.  And sometimes the girl’s family is embarrassed and mortified if she speaks out.  When a woman’s family doesn’t even back her up, how can you expect her to stand up for herself?

Whenever I voice my frustration with the disgusting acts that take place thousands of times each day people often tell me that maybe it is best that I go back to America.   I then reply telling the person how sad it is that that is their solution to the problem, that I should leave.  Why is someone even thinking by me leaving the problem would be solved?!  This is my present home and these things are not just happening to me.  These acts are happening to a lot of local women.  Sometimes people will tell me that yes, it is a sad state, but we can’t change the whole of India. It is exactly that kind of thinking that will get Kochi nowhere.

Kerala has the highest population of educated citizens in India.  Education is freedom, yet so many women are still prisoners in their own free land.  Why are brilliant educated people not doing anything to solve this issue?  Why don’t politicians even talk about these problems?

There are a lot of great men in Kochi who know about these acts and think they are disgusting.  All men are not molesters.  All men do not feel like they are above women.  Lots of men here in Kochi have the upmost respect for women in all aspects of their lives.  The sad thing is that all of these other men that feel free to touch women whenever they walk by are making the rest of the men look bad.  So it is not just women  who are affected by this behavior.  It is also men.  The good men, who respect women.  These good men are getting a bad reputation because of this.  People will start to think that all men in Kochi or all Indian men behave like this and it just isn’t so.

Men, your name is getting smeared.  Women, you are getting disrespected.  In Kochi it is time for men and women alike to band together to put a stop to this.  We can’t let this go on any longer.

Men, remember that it is also your mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters that this is happening to.  Other men are making you look bad. Be supportive.  Continue to show respect. And if you see this happening please confront the person who decided to behave like this.

Women, it is time for us to stop being complacent.  It is time for us to show that we demand respect.  It is time for us to stop worrying about what society or our families will think. We need to stop taking the back seat in life.  My dignity is being stomped on and I won’t let it happen anymore.  We need to stop and confront the man who decided to touch us. We need to report EVERY incident to the police until they realize this is a serious issue.  We need society to know that as women we will not stand for such disrespect!

According to the tourism minister, Bachan would be able to promote Kerala in countries like UK and USA. For those who dont know. Amitabh is also the Gujarat’s ambassador. How he landed the job was somewhat similar. Bachan kept raving about Gujurat and a media person asked him if he would be the ambassador for the state and he responded positively. Guurat CM grabbed the opportunity.

Experts predict that Ahmedabad will be picked up by the Adani group and either Nagpur or Pune by Videocon. Screw them all.  If Kochivibe makes billions and trillions of dollars we promise to get Kochi a ‘Kochivibe’ team!

Cambridge Online Dictionary defines paintball as,
paintball noun
/ˈpeɪnt.bɔːl/US pronunciation symbol/-bɑːl/ n [U]
a game in which people dress up in military clothing, go out into the countryside and attempt to shoot each other with guns that fire paint rather than bullets

Urban Dictionary defines it as,
1. Paintball
one of the best sports ever made.
Paintball rules all .

I would say the latter is a more aptly defined expression! Paintball one of the few marveled sports that has been so rarely experienced by Malayalis; Correction, never have experienced. Before you start on me, I didn’t include the guys who live abroad,I am talking about us resident malayalis. I should maybe be more specific, paintball is a sport that has yet to grace God’s own Country. Well not for long. TechKshetra the tech fest hosted by Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology is bringing Paintball as one of the prime events to Kochi and Kerala.

Now these are the basics of paintball. There are two opposing teams, they are armed with paintball markers ( a paintball gun!! ). These are loaded with pellets containing the paintballs. Now the aim is to eliminate members of the opposing side by ‘marking’ them with your markers. Wham! One hit and they are out. Generally this is played in an environment with artificial elements for cover, strategic positioning, etc. It can be indoors or outdoors. The more elaborate ones are held in forests to simulate a ‘battle field’ effect. Rules generally vary from capture the flag, elimination, scouting out an area successfully, defending an area. Military styled ones have rescue missions, ambushes, etc. Most terminologies and methodologies are based on military and gaming styles.

So if you want to experience the thrill of shooting up someone with paintballs, head to RSET.

Do you have the balls for it??!
