The Gillette Power Fusion razor

Last Wednesday (July 21), I started experiencing massive head-aches right after finishing my breakfast.
And by lunch time it was such a bad-ass one that I had to pop in 2 x 650mg of Uphamols = 1,300mg equivalent of paracetamol. But my big body would probably need this large dosage. Till evening the headache was [...]

Dhall curry (Lentil stew)

Favourite recipes 15 July 2010 | 2 Comments

Among my favourite dish and it’s so easy to prepare.
