FOR THE JACK SHACKERS
The snack point outlet at Kamath Circle never fails to satisfy inquisitive taste buds looking for a taste of something ,I’d like to call as,’ the burger culture’ in Manipal. Snack point sells some of the most tasty kathi rolls and frankies in Manipal. Their popular desert, Death by Chocolate is total choco- nirvana.
But one item that caught my eye and called out to the growling hunger in my stomach, on one fine day, was the jack-shack burger.
This sixty five rupee burger has a lot more to offer than you’d probably have thought of. The jack-shack burger is made of one bun, with a chicken patty in between, below a bulls-eye which is topped with vegetables and cheese. Below the patty is a layer of well chopped chicken sausages placed carefully to fit the symmetry of the bun. This whole arrangement is topped with two whole spoons of mayonnaise and the other half of the bun that often seems to me like the finishing touch on a true culinary master piece.
The moment you bite into the burger , you are confused at first , fighting to fit this humongous burger into your mouth but as soon as u manage doing so , you realize that it was worth every second of the trouble. This burger is heavy and totally satisfying.
This is one of the few magnificent burgers available at Manipal and is worth every penny as the experience of eating one of these is truly extraordinary.
1 Jack-Shack burger + 1 orange iced tea + 1 Death by Chocolate = the perfect meal- combination at Snack Point.

Pyaaz Ki Kachori,- Rawat
Hot and freshly prepared gram flour goodness.
The Pyaaz Ki Kachori consists of a gram flour coating over a richly flavoured and spicy mixture of onions , potatoes and masala, which is the secret that Rawat has been running on untill now.
Served hot on a paper plate , this Rs 15 kachori might burn your tongue in the first bite but even the burn would be totally worth it when you fell the flavors setting in inside you mouth.
It is the perfect quick snack for a avid traveller. the mixture inside is hot and spicy and also has a hint of sourness.

Cheesy Goodness At Sunrise Bakery
When you move towards Amrapali circle moving north from Khatipura road (in Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur) you'll notice a small bakery towards your northwest. This is one of the branches this small but great bakery chain has in Jaipur. It has other branches at Mansarovar, inside the walled city, Malviya Magar(Gaurav Towers), Rajapark and many other localities in the city with the one at Rajapark being my favorite of all..
I call this chain 'great' because even after having so many branches it has managed to maintain the taste of one of its creation, at every branch. this is the Grilled Cheese Sandwich that sunrise bakery has to offer.
It consists of two slices on bread with a mixture of finely chopped onions , tomatoes and green capsicums with lots of oozing liquid cheese. After it gets grilled it looks just like any other grilled cheese sandwich , but it is only when you take a bite that you realize that you've just bit into a world of oozing hot an creamy liquidy cheese with some of it stuck on one side of your mouth and some dripping from the bottom slice of bread! The chopped vegetables work like instant but rich seasoning along with the cheese with the aroma of the capsicums taking the whole experience to a totally different level.
Sunrise also has a lot of other tasty items on their menu. They have a certain variant of puffs called the chowmein puffs which has chinese chowmein noodles filled inside. They also have cheese centred and the classic potato puffs.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 .
This was another addition to the epic series created by J.K. Rowling. The movie had everything, from the great special effects that comes as a complimentary attachment with each HP movie, to the very close and realistic adaptation of the wonderful books by Ms. Rowling , on the silver screen. All though I didn't expect Voldemort to die so easily but the final showdown was captured pretty well in the movie. Acting by the whole cast was totally worthy of praises. Every character stood up to the benchmark of fantasy realism that the earlier movies in this cult fantasy series had set. With the more and more people changing their loyalty to Snape , voting him as t best character in the whole series, this is totally a must watch even for people who aren't the typical potter fans.
Don't miss this one. And if you have a good movie theater near by with quality 3-D arrangements then do catch this one in 3-D. Its worth it!

One day I had encountered a problem while trying to burn an .mdf file so I thought of posting a step by step guide for doing so! Files with the extensions .mdf and .mds ar also iso files or image files. These are made by the programme alcohol 120%. These files are similar to files with extensions .bin or .cue files. These are mainly used for making back up copies of a data cd or dvd that can be used later. These files can be played in a cd/dvd rom emulator program named DAEMON TOOLS.
Burning an mdf file using Nero.
To burn a file with extension .mdf using Nero do the following-
1. Go to the file and change extension of the file from .mds to .iso in the properties window.
2. Start nero express and choose “ disc image or saved project”
3. Select the image file and you will see that now nero detects it as an iso file.
4. After selecting the iso file click on the “burn” option.
.mdf files can be worked one using software called ALCOHOL 120% and DAEMON TOOLS.

I just heard a loud sound again.
I think it was a sudden explosion again.
It gave rise to a sudden flash of light and a wave of heat… ....again.
There is dust in the air...... again.
There is blood all around again.
There is fear in the hearts of the people again.
People are panicking again.
People are running around helplessly, all over again.
There are dead bodies lying on the ground around me again.
The cops and the emergency squads are arriving to the scene late again.
Numerous news agencies are reaching the site again.
Eye witnesses are being questioned again.
They are expressing their anger against the ruling party again.
Various ministers are visiting, one after one, again.
The security forces are busy making arrangements for the V.V.I.P.s again.
Helpless and injured ones are busy crying out with pain again.
The news papers have a page dedicated to the whole event again.
It has pictures of people and families who have lost limbs and loved ones, respectively …again.
The PM condemns the attack again.
He sympathizes with the families of the victims again.
The HM and the FM follow the actions of the PM again.
Bollywood actors, writers, all other celebs are busy condemning the act again.
Pakistani officials condemn the act again.
The Government promises action against the perpetrators again.
A new plan for enhancing the safety and security of the average Indian citizen has been proposed again.
Grants for the implementation of such plans are being requested for again.
These grants will find their way in to the pockets of the politicians again.
Investigators declare the same few terrorist organizations as perpetrators again.
Some sleeper cells are detected and the news is flashed on T.V. again.
Don’t worry, they’ll be totally forgotten about in the coming weeks, again.
Terrorists caught will be tried and interrogated for years and not punished again.
Yes, Mumbai has been attacked again.
Serial blasts have taken place in Mumbai again.
Our nation is under attack again.
Yes I saw it all on the news again.
We’ll wear white t-shirts and march to a monument and light candles in the memory of the victims again.
Our government will refuse to learn again.
There is just one thing that I want from my government again,
That I don’t have to write something like this all over again
