Keep everyone guessing!

Hey, thanks, Le C.
Why stop with idli & payasam?
I will plan on Kollu pudding & Kollu ice cream !
Great ideas !!
Love,
Chithra.
For a change, instead of the horses, the person who leads me on to wishes becoming horses, will also get a share.

What is consistent in life, is actually change....everything else has a slight deviation...not by design..but by nature...

consistency helps shaping life..for example when a child feels safe, secure and loved, it will learn to explore life, take chances, makes mistakes..which in turn....to help in the test of survival of the fittest...but when it starts defining your life...is when it makes us sitting ducks....

It is a power in our hands which can be used both as always...that is consistency of power.....

When you are dieting, or on a fitness regime, consistency is the mantra or you fail...

Agreed, in corporate warfare, keep them guessing wins..but again the employee will gain only if he is consistent in his performance...

Let us take the case of movies, quality should be consistent but not the storylines, or acting....may be that is the reason for lot of movies going down the drain.....

On a personal note, replying to your thread consistently makes me rack my brains consistently....

who said consistency is boring...consistency on certain planes is never boring....

Dear Shanthi
I always consider your fb's as value addition to my threads! You have come out with really thought provoking statements. I agree that consistency is a must for people who are on a fitness regime or dieting but I hardly find them suitable for company! I very carefully avoid going with dieters for lunch or dinner! I love a gourmet even if he is very consistent!
I agree that change is the only constant thing in life and that makes inconsistency a complementary virtue! And I also agree that consistency in certain areas is never boring. It is the combination of consistency and unpredictability that has made Mr.Bean an adorable character! How boring it will be if a person is both consistent and predictable!

You challenged me to try with Q. Well, it is going to be QUICHE - a fashionable favourite in the west !
Love,
La C.

Dear Chithra
If you start giving recipes for western dishes, make sure that your fans pronounce the names properly. I have indicated in another thread what would happen if the name of a dish is mispronounced!
I have always wondered why a savoury item eaten before a meal(courtesy: OED) is called a 'hors d'oeuvre'. Now I know!

Dear Sri,
You are a real naughty old man, can't help saying !
I write QUICHE very clearly & you purposely reply
make sure that your fans pronounce the names properly.
Remember, you are interacting with a typical Mylapore Mami & not a fun-loving youngster !
A man is a man is a...........

Thank the Almighty you did not say 'Boys will be boys!'
But seriously, I have come across people who pronounce champagne as champagni as if it is some form of fire! When I go to Star hotels and order for Continental menu, I just order for the desired item by pointing at it with my index finger. I never take any chances!

Hello Cheeniya

The word "Consistency" pulled me to your thread.
"Consistency" is like a household word and dear hubby Sathy always keep telling me I am the most inconsistent person on Earth. He always says I am not consistent in the daily routines too - getting up early, walk in the morning, preparing dinner on time, watching my share prices and his list goes on.

When I read this article, I made sure Sathy also read it. It bought a big grin in his face.
Next time the word consistency is uttered in my home, I will sure quote Mark Twain's concluding statement.
Thanks for this eye-opening article, next time I am inconsistent let me say that I keep Sathy & my kids guessing.

Dear Cheeniya sir ,
Ur post was really an eye- opener for me . I ‘ve decided to be an inconsistent person hereafter ! Ur words that changed me a lot are :
“[quote]

it takes a lot of efforts to be consistent, as the conditions of life do not remain the same. Inconsistency never makes great demands on your resources and you can be as flexible as you desire. "

.
“

If you are thoroughly consistent and highly predictable and if you are the kind that takes considerable pride in declaring yourself an open book, you can be certain that you are going to be used as a doormat.”-

The whole truth !
“

C comes after B. So Cornflakes payasam follows Bhogi. Something starting with a Q being lined up for Pongal

sir , may I suggest ‘o’ instead of 'q' ? 'o' for ‘ oats pongal ‘ for pongal sorry … maattu pongal ! ! ??

With regards ,
Indhu .
Dear AC ,
Happy to know that you are expecting my fb – very sweet of you ! By the way , ur ‘kollu menu ‘ is cho…chweet ! ( I did’nt say cho .. tempting - for obvious reasons ! ! pl. note down ! )
Affly ,
Chindusri !

Dear Laxmi
I am happy that my article has made Sathy understand your inconsistency better! The only thing we should endeavour to be consistent about is our inconsistency! Consistency may be a virtue but it certainly makes a person very boring. So Sathy should be happy if you are inconsistent.

Dear Indhu
Most of us are inconsistent but hate to admit it as we think that there is something negative about it. That's why I have quoted from such eminent persons as Aldous Huxley, Betrand Russel, Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain in addition to Bernard Shah in support of inconsistency!
Your finding the 'kollu menu' cho chweet betrays a streak of the equine in you!
By the way, inconsistency is the hall mark of horses. Ask any race goer and he'll only be too happy to confirm it!

Hello Cheeniya,

A wonderful write-up & even wonderful feedbacks – like everyone’s said you bring out the best in us and make us think of the unthinkable topics in the world. Hats off to you, Sir!!!!!!!!
How do you come out with such different write-ups every time?????? You always leave me wondering…..
Now, I’m not able to decide on C or IC – I feel in daily life (personal) being C is a virtue. It’s easier that way to tune to some kind of a pattern, rhythm, a routine in our life that makes our day-to-day chores simpler and easy to handle –
IC does make our life a little spicier at times – secrecy maintained in gifts, next outing, next travel destination, our own stock markets, next movie of Steven Spielberg, the next recipe of Chitra, the next topic of your Esteemed Self, etc. etc. etc.
IC is surely a virtue to corporate, politics, movies – anything work related. I’m reminded of the al-Qaeda’s IC too.
I just saw the news and TATA’S Nano, 1 lakh car is finally out and the amt of excitement in the market, wow, these newsmakers.

BTW, reading all the replies, I’m just wondering if I missed any of those kollu recipes. Very consistent healthy recipes from our very own Kitchen Queen.
I do consistently follow Chitra so this distraction –

Hello, Chitra, I’m ready for the Quiche recipe??? When are you posting it??? what, you mean, I shld go to your forum???? Okay okay, I just forgot I’m still here in Cheeniya Sir’s thread… see you there, Chitra. Love, Hugs & Kis……… (Oh, my God, what am I doing???? Is this what consistency mean ??? so much used to signing off my replies to CV with L Hs Ks)

Now, to be OR not to be –
