oye! Vadas are made in my house dipped in sugar (Yeah thats pretty weird!) on some festivals. Donut and sometimes saucer..whichever..not much thought laid. I’m a gult and havent heard of such traditions here.

Besides now being in Chennai..I see there are ALL kinds of vadas all over the place. No occasions needed.

Onions and garlic arent used. As usage of and eating anything that is grown below ground is against the Brahmin culture on a good day. But tomato..That is not avoided.

Well , i know you will be bugged by this comment, but im not sure this is your best post. Ok, communication is important, but some insanely round about way of this. A good post to learn about bridge and wolf though. Plus ( here is the part where you will get bugged) , TOO MANY SPELLING MISTAKES. Some places i didnt know what you were saying!!!!!

The allusion is to the “connects” in Freakonomics, so I think the title isn’t inappropriate.
Mafia/Wolf - Maro put me fundaes about the game on the day of Lehmann workshop (when they had organized a ‘trading game’). It is indeed very deep! It’s a sad thing junta go ga-ga over CS
