Oh grief, that reminds me, I hope I can find that detailed Ravana mask that I made for last year's Diwali play...it took absolutely ages to make...for obvious reasons.
@ doc,
Was following some of the info in the Indian thread as regards the origins and close links between the south Indian languages like Malayalam and Tamil; many of the kids I teach have these as first languages, although Gujerati and Punjabi is just as prominent; and your neighbouring country's Urdu. (Plus Bengali and Sylheti to a lesser extent.)
India were really unlucky with that cricket match; thanks to messrs Duckworth and Lewis of course...
PS: India's Kingfisher beer has gotta be the most palatable beer out there!!! (I first discovered it in a tandoori in the Scottish Highlands capital, Inverness, back in '97.)
As regards SA, what a great 4th wicket partnership tonight between Duminy and Dippenaar against Zim.

@amawanga,why did u make ravana marks?
My mother tongue is Malayalam.i also know national language hindi.i can understand urdu,punjabi & tamil.Every state in India have distinct language,customs,festivals,food and way of life...each state has a distinct history and geography.Too complex for even we Indians to remember everything..

I missed the cricket last night
@dr_thug: It's quite strange that a massive market like India would be getting the XBox360 after South Africa.

Talk about beer to mrao or sanj...the Indian experts
I dont smoke or drink..I only like Kingfisher air hostesses dressed in red...too hot
My only sin is my love for chicken...chicken curry-every Indian state has different style,fry,grilled,tandoori,my fav so far is Leabanese dish Shawarma...
Whats South Africa's famous chicken dishes?

@brix,I too missed the cricket matches...not very big fan myself.Anyway,i think India will be beaten badly by Aussies.
India is no big gaming country...ps2 started selling hot 2-3 years back after their price went below Rupees10k in the grey market.

I absolutely love chicken...chicken curry is my all-favourite dish. I would've said mutton curry but I don't think that's good for the heart...wouldn't want to be getting heart attacks at 50.
Another favourite in South Africa is fast chain of restaurants called Nando's...they specialise in spicy Portuguese-style chicken dishes...of all the restaurant chains in the country, they're the best.

LOL, I guess you meant 'masks', yeah I should've used the plural for Ravana's mask(s)...
Each year the pupils have a large focus on the 4 main religions followed by the school's local community; 96% of the pupils that I teach are from the Asian sub-continent. Therefore the Autumn term is particularly busy with all the festivals being relatively close to each other, ie. Diwali, Eid, Guru Nanak's Birthday and Christmas, and the pupils doing plays about these, artwork, music, etc... a large cross-curricular focus.
I've really developed an appetite for the sub-continent's food, including chicken tikka, the milder curries (NO phall or vindaloo for me...aaaarrrgh!
) all the sweets, as well as biryani...I'd better stop...I'm starting to become ravana..er I mean ravenous...
!
Speaking of Nando's, it really has exploded here in the UK, and is very quickly becoming just as popular as in SA.

Wow...too many India related discussions in this thread...
Whats the dish served in Nandos??i think the chicken curry served in restaurents and hotels outside india are of mild form...they r fake curries.true curry are very chilly and served hot...sometimes people even here find it too hot to eat...but they still enjoy.
During my schooldays in Kerala,the only celebrations we had at school was
Onam and Christmas.In North India,schools dont celebrate any festivals...just Independence day.
