The soda is like a less sweet version of Sprite. But the best part of Ramune is the bottle. The packaging is this weird shape that has a marble in the bottleneck. The marble moves when you pour out the drink. I was told that you are supposed to try and catch the marble in the grooves of the bottle while filling your glass.
The current editor of Gourmet magazine wrote this memoir about her stint as a restaurant critic for the New York Times. Due to the competitiveness of the New York City restaurant scene, she was forced to wear disguises in order to hide her identity as a woman with a big say as to where people in the Big Apple eat. It was amazing how a change in her physical appearance changed her attitude and demeanor. This phenomenon reminded me of the saying, “Clothes make the man”. One thing that I didn’t like about the book: In one chapter, the author details—almost with gusto—her nasty demeanor towards a waiter. These actions on her part left me with an unpleasant taste in my mouth, since I believe that mistreating service workers is unacceptable. But, aside from this, the book was interesting, and one can definitely notice her love and appreciation for food.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s use of language is so beautiful!
This movie, based on actual events, definitely shows a more human side of Gandhi in terms of his relationship with his son Harilal. Indeed, the story portrays Mahatma Gandhi as almost a villain in the first part of the film. The ending is sad, so be warned if you decide to watch and if you enjoy a happy ending. If anything, this film will give you a more balanced view of the father of India.
