While some dishes are mouth-watering, there are others that are eye-wateringly spicy

As soon as one steps into Tharavadu Family Restaurant, one is assaulted by the delicious aroma of masala cooking in the pot and a vague scent of seafood — all reminiscent of the scents of a typical Kerala kitchen.

The simple, but quaint wooden tables and comfy couches, the Ravi Varma paintings, the frangipani at the entrance and the numerous cane lamps hanging from the ceiling on thick ropes, form the décor of the eatery.

The aquarium, filled with starfish placed right at the entrance, fascinates most of the customers.

Once seated, the customer is greeted with a wide-toothed grin and is given a lota of the Kerala Special ayurvedic water, which is, basically, water boiled with a bit of jeera and a few herbs. It kindles the palate and is very refreshing.

The restaurant has an exhaustive menu comprising of both north Indian and Kerala dishes.

I opted for the most popular item on the menu — the Kerala Meal.

It arrived in a matter of minutes, and looked mouth- watering. But, a couple of the dishes were also eye-wateringly spicy! It contained the usual fare — rasam, sambar, payasam, fish curry, kaalan (a mixed vegetable stew), boiled rice and papadam, served on a banana leaf placed over a steel plate.

The presentation was both authentic and practical. The rasam and sambar though quite spicy, were delicious nonetheless.

The kaalan and the fish curry were unequivocally the best dishes of the meal. Both were cooked to perfection and tasted homely. The payasam could have been better, though.

The dishes that comprise the meal change every day. “I come here almost every week, and everything they serve is delicious,”said one excited customer. I also tried kappa served with fish curry. It is a tapioca dish, and leaves you wanting more of it. The fish was tender and had been marinated well. One cannot go to a Kerala restaurant and not try the coin parottas and the pathiri (paper-thin rice-flour pancake), both of which were excellent.

Behind the counter

The restaurant is managed by Umesh, who sits behind a counter, fashioned like a tiny Kerala-style house.

“Ever since this place opened six years ago, we have been very popular with the local Keralites and north Indians alike,” he says. The extremely reasonable price and the peaceful ambience draws a large crowd, especially during the weekends.

Although it might be difficult for those unfamiliar with Bommanahalli to locate the restaurant, it is definitely worth visiting for a taste of God's own cuisine.

The restaurant is located at BKL Building, Hosur Main Road, Bommanahalli.

Heywood, the most modern data centre on the Isle of Man - providing cloud hosting and managed servers to travel agents, banks, IT service providers, local councils, legal firms and media companies – has chosen state of the art cabinet, racking and cooling solutions from Cannon Technologies T4 Data Centre Solutions

(PRWEB UK) 15 February 2012

Since it first began operating in 2004, Wi-Manx has become one of the Isle of Man’s leading network, voice and hosting solutions provider. In order to continue its growth, the company decided to establish Heywood a state-of-the-art co-location data centre at its Heywood House headquarters using cabinet, racking and cooling solutions from Cannon Technologies.

The Isle of Man occupies a unique place in the British Isles and as corporation tax is charged at zero per cent, it makes an attractive proposition for businesses. Heywood owner Wi-Manx currently has customers as diverse as travel agents, banks, IT service providers, local councils, legal firms and media companies.

Work began on the new facility in mid-2010 and in charge of the project was Joe Hughes, Heywood’s chief technology officer. He explained, ‘We wanted a data centre that could provide a full range of solutions including cloud hosting, co-location, voice servers, security, load balancing and storage. To achieve this, a high-density and scalable containment solution was required and after carrying out extensive research we chose Cannon Technologies.’

Hughes and his team selected 64 ServerSmart cabinets and two CannonPatch cabling racks. The ServerSmart cabinets are available in a range of heights, widths and depths, with exceptional cooling ability for high power densities. ServerSmart’s doors also have the unique ability to open to 180º when bayed and 270º at end of bay or when used in a standalone formation.

A similarly high-density solution, the CannonPatch racks have substantial cable capacity and its cable management arms guide cables being fed from patch panels to the vertical cable trunking. Every bit of U space can be filled with patch panels and they can be used as a single patching frame or quickly bayed in multiples.

‘Cannon Technologies’ Aisle-Cocoon concept is a technically advanced solution that provides a system of overhead panels and end doors that effectively seal off the cold aisle,’ explained David Stickland, chief commercial officer at Heywood. ‘This ensures that the cold air emitted from the floor is sealed in a “cocoon” which is unaffected by hot exhaust air, while the cooling air can only exit through the equipment for which it is intended.’

In September 2011 the installation was completed and the facility was officially opened soon after. Joe Hughes concluded, ‘I’m absolutely delighted with the results and confident that the Heywood Datacentre is the most modern hosting facility of its kind. Cannon Technologies understood our requirements and their versatility, flexible approach, UK manufacturing base and desire to make sure their solution fitted with our overall design and vision of the data centre was instrumental to the success of the project.’

SILVER CREEK — Hanover Town Board members on Monday approved a tax exemption for the Silver Creek Department of Public Works building.

At the regular board meeting, members unanimously approved the request with the condition that the village will have to pay water, sewer and any special district taxes, including lighting district taxes.

The Silver Creek School Board approved the same type of agreement. In both cases, the tax exemption will apply only while the building is used for the Public Works Department.

The department is located in the former George Bentges warehouse on Routes 5 & 20, outside the village limits. The department has been housed there since the August 2009 flood that ruined the village barns on North Main Street.

In other matters:

• The board will petition the county for a reduced speed limit on Bennett State Road for about 1,890 feet from the village limits in Forestville and northward. The board will also seek parking restrictions in the same area, due to increased truck traffic at the Bailey Manufacturing facility and a new medical office in that location.

• Two public hearings will be held at the Feb. 27 board meeting. Council members will hear comments on a proposed tax reduction for disabled people and for increasing the income limits from $19,000 to $20,000 for senior citizens who qualify for an exemption. The hearings will begin at 7:35 p.m.

• At the request of Town Highway Superintendent Steve D’Angelo, the following roads will be posted for a weight limit: Alleghany, Beebe, Blanding, Bradigan, Christy, Cottage, Empire, Freedom, Gibbs, Hanford, Holmes, Hopper, Hurlburg, King, Mackinaw, Mixer, Overheiser, Quarry, Rider, Spears and Waterman.

• The board appointed Kevin Waterman chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals. His switch to the zoning board will be contingent on his resignation from the assessment review board.
