And then, the world ceased to exist. Our solar system collapsed under its own weight. The sun was but a dying white dwarf. The Milky Way, like all other galaxies continued to travel through space towards that ever elusive super galaxy. Space kept expanding. Ever. Forever. What was the universe heading toward? Has this all happened before? Are we merely an insignificant anomaly in an unremarkable iteration of spacetime?

I recently discovered the joys of drinking Sake, by complete chance.

Nandu and I were at The Pub one evening after a particularly stressful day at work. We were feeling a tad exasperated with the prospect of finishing the drinking session with the same old English cuisine (curry chips, fish and chips, bangers and mash etc.) so we decided to head over to RA Sushi which is right next to The Pub.

Now, I’ve heard about Sake before — I’ve even tasted Sake before (long break between flights at the London Heathrow Terminal — en route to USA) — but that was some weird bitter stuff. The Sake at RA Sushi was surprisingly refreshing and just what we needed after all the beers we’d downed at The Pub.

Anyway, the next day, I put the word out at work — Sake is the new Glenlivet! Inspired by my advertising, Awanish purchased one bottle from Leti’s Liquors for $8 (well apparently, Sake is very inexpensive). He left it at my place on Thursday(the one pictured above).

Today, I decided to fry some shrimp like Mom does back home — on a tawa and with rawa breading. Turns out, Sake and home-style tawa fried shrimp go superbly well together.

Cheers!
