Dheseerajen Coopooamah - Notre Super Chef
IBL BrandActiv hosted the very first edition of a culinary Competition -
The Super Chef. At the preliminary stage, there were 100 contestants. The
competition was very tough all through-out, since only three finalists were
to be selected. The lucky three finalists were Lochun Rajeev, Khalid
Lallmohamed and Dheseerajen Coopooamah who were to convince the
jury with their culinary creativity. During the final the three candidates
each received a surprise basket 15 minutes before the start. With its
contents, they were given one hour and 45 minutes to prepare a main
course and a dessert.
Our brother Dheseerajen, of Cap Malheureux, was indeed not Malheureux
as he came out to be the best and he was proclaimed the Super Chef for the
year 2011.
He said to Pathirikai " Cooking is my passion and it gives me so much joy
in my everyday life, thus with all the experiences that I have received with
many Chef I have been able to reach that level in my career, and with this
special moments in my life I would like to thank my beloved parents,
sister, brother in law, tavishnee and all the person who have supported me
during this 13 weeks of struggles and all the staff of MCB. I dedicate the prize to all the people who have showed
confidence and shower love to me during the competition. A special thinking and tribute goes to my late father in
law, Jaganaden Moonian, whom I miss a lot. I would also like to thank all media partners, such as Pathirikai, who
with their help I have become a celebrity. Thanks a lot for your supports.

Cambridge to study ancient Sanskrit Text

A major exercise in 'linguistic archaeology' has set out to complete a comprehensive survey of Cambridge
University South Asian manuscript collection, which includes the
oldest dated and illustrated Sanskrit manuscript known worldwide.
Written on now-fragile birch bark, palm leaf and paper, the 2,000
manuscripts in the collection at the University Library express
centuries-old South Asian thinking on religion, philosophy,
astronomy, grammar, law and poetry.
The project, which is led by Sanskrit-specialists Dr Vincenzo
Vergiani and Dr Eivind Kahrs, will study and catalogue each of
the manuscripts, placing them in their broader historical context, a
university release said.
