If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

Tandoor - The Indian Clay Oven

Yes, my two day trip to our Lawn Mover factory in Beatrice, Nebraska had come to an end. I had finished my visit report "felt like an AI director" haha and sent it out to the concerened. If Springfield is small, then Beatrice is real small. Nothing but one strip of land and abviosuly a limited choice of things to do. Our factory makes a real cool Mover....called BAM "The Big Arse Mover" hahaha. I dont know what its really called but everyone calls it a BAM.....and laughs. Saying BAM is the only way the factory employees can bring a smile to a visitors face.

Staying at a Holiday Inn Express meant no access to a restraunt / even room service. HI Expresses dont have these facilities. So i decided why not find an Indian Restraunt in Lincoln, The capital city of Nebraska. Yaaaaayyyy.....I found three and decided on Tandoor - The Indian Clay Oven. Driving 50 miles to eat....seemed like crazy idea....but i said hey the least i could do is treat my self for having spent two days in Beatrice.

I must say Tandoor served me the best Indian meal i have ever had outside of India in the last two and half years. It doesnt beat "Marhaba" - An Indian restraunt in Jeddah Saudi Arabia which was my haunt when 12 years old. In nothing short of an hour i gobbled up a Platter of Chicekn Tikkas, Lentil Soup, Garlic Naan and Maa Ki Daal. The decor and the food just left me speechless. Was a great expereince.

Who would have thought i would eat the best Indian Food outside of India in Lincoln Nebraska! I cant forget Pongal though at Lexington Avenue "Best South Indian Food outside of India"....though i will never forget that if paid 20 bucks for a Dosa and Uttapam! Darn!!!

The evening ended with watching the Indian Sensation Sania Mirza.....and long chat over Skype with Aslum...and ofcourse with the usual conversations with Abhi....

Inspite of the best Indian Food, i would dedicate the Evening to Sania. Thumbs Up to her. Shes fantastic....just needs to improve the depth of her shots, and ofcourse the serve. After a 10 minute first set, Sania gave Serena a run for her money in the second set. Almost broke Serenas serves twice.

Come Sania.....Dikhado!
