JAGADAMBA - A typical local sweet shop, where "Jalebis & Imrathees" would get fried right in front of your
eyes. Take a few steps close to the frying pan & you can even feel the heat
of the oil. Sweets of Jagadamba, came home, whenever Dad visited the market. My
liking of "Pedda" [ Indian milk sweet] originates from this shop.

JALLIKATTU- Ask me, if I know any regional sports name & Jallikkatu is the only one I can think of. Thanks to the extensive media coverage it got a few years back. I am too new & naive to speak about this sport. But , it made me realize, that matters of regional importance will tend to stay within a region if not put up for national viewing.

Jallikattu is a 2000 year old bull taming sports in Tamil Nadu. Some people think it is the same as Spanish bull fight. It is not. In Spanish bull fight you can kill/hurt the bull. In Jallikattu you are not supposed to kill/hurt the bull. The object is to take the money tied to the horns of the bull.
