Define a topic as set consisting a non-zero number of elements (attributes that define the topic)
Define posting as events that begin in a topic. Each post has a random number of elements in the universe.
ε_n is the total distance between elements of the topic N
d_m = the total distance between elements of a post m

Given a topic T, as posting tends to infinity, d_i>ε_T due to the stochastic process generated by the posting. This known in some places as Mock_Turtle is hungry after a 90 minute workout effect.

Assume that Mock_Turtle finishes her work out after post i, then post i +1 has elements not contained within topic T. Hence, we have topic divergence.

Yes...I was inspired by the mods to make a joke wrapped in divergence theorem. What next? A recipe for hummus wrapped in kbanesque speech.

Hmmm...I wonder what treasures we might unearth if we actually read all of kban's posts.

pieterSAN, nothing can make Mock truely happy. Grumpy still reigns. There is no bliss for Mock while that is so.

OK.Since this a food thread here is a food joke:

An Amercan once went to eat in a restaurant in Andhra.The next morning after coming back from the toilet he yells "Now I see why they use water in India.These god-damn paper tissues could easily catch fire!!"

I am amazed that no one has started a thread to discuss the sabarimala issue

I am amazed that no one has started a thread to discuss the sabarimala issue

what issue is this? do start a thread with the news item - is it the one where they unearthed the fact that some "impure" woman managed to visit the shrine and they were planning on doing a purification ritual?

Wow - holy ghost of christmas past. Nima is back!!!

[Nima]

SG - Well, unlike the other DG members, I never 'left' the DG.....just been quietly reading all the discussions going on here..

MT - Yes, the Kannada actress who claims to have touched the Ayyappa idol and hence has made the whole shrine impure etc.  If you are interested kumudam.com has a video interview with the astrologer who predicted these..

I doubt it. Humans as a species are prone to destruction.

Behind every poor, innocent, harmless blighter who is going down for the third time in the soup, you will find, if you look carefully enough, the aunt who shoved him into it.

You cannot ban the human mind - u can only educate it.

currently eating: maple oat scone from starbucks. one of the most disgusting things i ever made the mistake of putting in my mouth. DONT BUY IT. its the cheapest thing available in starbucks ($1.70) for a reason people

[sudzz]

Mock, i am one of those who love hot dosais with cold thick curds 

I do mix "thenga podi" (coconut spice mix) with the curds. OR some mahali pickle

SGUSA-I know the chances of it happening are non existant, but if it were to I would never dine at your place-Anyone who likes Mahali is a sworn enemy of mine...I mean how can anyone like a vegetable that smells like old rugs with crushed bed bugs....

those things are a gamble..some places they go nuts with the maple glazing and ruin the darn thing...other places they do it right. I don't buy them any more...not worth the risk.

this stuffed-roast baigan is just the "enna katrikkai" using the small aubergines? what did you stuff it with? i am seriously thinking of heading out to the indian store now and getting a packet of puttu powder and try the puttu. am not going to risk making it from first principles on my maiden attempt.

[sgusa]

It is not strictly "enna katrikkai". It is more the north indian style. Stuffing is standard masala stuffing ( any combo of masalas(fenugreek, mustard, cumin etc) + roasted ground daals + chili+ in a little bit of yogurt). Also added a bit of ground garlic. I then oven roasted this with a little bit of oil.

Basically take the recipe on Bawarchi and adapt to taste

Mock,
Strong Keralian influence in the menu (moili, ishtu, malabar paratha, appam)? Or is my knowledge poor?

Gulab jamun with ice cream? Interesting! What flavor did you have? Dulce de leche would be good I guess. Or even some caramel flavor.

Was this potluck?

Hot gulab jamuns with cold icecream - YUM!

no, this was at a restaurant that has a cook from chalakudi(a place in kerala!). one of my usual haunts. well, this was plain vanilla ice-cream. i like the hot-cold combo, say apple torte w ice-cream and such.

over-roasted it? wdn't it get somewhat dry and rubbery? or do you keep drizzling it with some liquid? i am too lazy to go to the indian store and also hate that place anyway, i get the long eggplants, chop it into chunks, slit them and stuff it with a mix of coriander powder, cumin and chilli and then pan-fry it. separately fry onions, and potatos(cut in finger shape) and add it to the top.

it is somewhat of an oily dish but quite tasty. i make it when i decide to call someone over(rarer than a bluemoon occurence) and let them suffer the grease :-)

Seems like the Etc. is more active than cricket board  I guess all had enuf of the SG-JD spat news! Good for the DG...this is way more interesting (food that is), till real cricket starts...wait, i hear sgusa and mock saying food will continue to be way more interesting *even* when live cricket starts

Put it down to superstition (convenient excuse)! Well, when team is doing well and i'm watching...usually worried to alter too many things around...i "try" to stay put...dont always do it, but will try if i can...but i dont wear 16 year old rag tattered shorts like LN's superstition...but as long as India can win, LN keep wearing them.

But, but, but...might as well see some hot chick butt.

BTW - Mock - during the times u had gone AWOL (absent without leave), poor Nima was once subjected to listening to a stag party for a brief while (or maybe long while) on the DG-chat (click for the saved transcript). U were spared of that (well, come to think of it, u do have good tolerance! So, keep the congenial smile  )

BTW- abt AWOL, I think the deans need to institute a "Leave Letter" system before ppl go on leave...Remember the "leave letters" we used to submit to headmasters and class teachers!!!

oh, are you the brilliant soul who saves these too? how noble of you! as for my tolerance, idjets don't affect me.  they make me laugh. and nah, i wdn't stoop as low as to applaud your stag party to win a congeniality award. i am already getting sick of being "nice" and want to bash someone.

well, some DGians are in india and will probably be back after summer. oh yeah, leave letters! tho i was a keener and rarely missed classes.
