They say all good things in life do come to an end, someday. And here is a perfect example from my life. Barely 270 days old, my dearest Pandu was found ‘dead’ in the back pocket of my Mont Blanc office bag.

The killer and its motive are yet unknown.

Pandu and I had gotten real close, one can say he was an extended part of me. He took care of my musical needs, while traveling from US to the beautiful Rivera Coast, from one Blog party to another, helped me with my bathroom singing lessons and most important of all, stuck with me through countless hours stuck in awful Mumbai traffic jams.

Now it seems I would have to rely on the crappy radio stations to comply my daily sing-a-long quota, something I had given up a decade ago.

Ah! Such is life.

Dearest Pandu, you will be sorely missed.

Ps…the purpose of this post is also to let you know, what’s ‘most-wanted’ on my wish-list at present. Thank you…in advance.

Now most of us get hooked on to the World Wide Web for various different reasons – be it for YouTube, searching for lonely singles, porn, blog rants, music and the list can go on and on. But to actually come online to watch an English Cheddar Cheese as it slowly ripens is quite hard to digest, literally.

First placed in front of a webcam in late December, the Westcombe cheddar from West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers leaped to public attention in early February and has since attracted viewers from 119 countries.

"The hits went over 1 million this morning. It has been a real challenge keeping the cheese up and running with all the interest it has generated," a spokesman for the company running the website, http://www.cheddarvision.tv, said on Wednesday.

"The whole idea was to show people how real food is made - and it seems to be working," cheesemaker Tom Calver said. "It takes a year for the cheese to mature. This is not fast food. It is slow food."

Do check out the website, damn neat, I say.
