Ada should be traditionally rice flour... the soft ones. I am not a south Indian but my neighbour is and I invade him on Sundays for breakfast.

Sorry, I don't know where the snow scene is - but it looks like every one was having fun there.


Calling Darjeeling fans, I'd love to know what part of the railway this is....
