Hoping

Silent Night

I cry my eyes out

Unknown of my future fact

today, I failed to keep myself intact

Tomorrow I will let myself out

To test my gut 

By promising this act

I am keeping my hopes afloat!!!

Intermittent Love

Oops..title sounds fishy....

nothing serious as it sounds....I am just falling in love with trying out my culinary skills.

Boy, finding the Chef in me was a hard wait...but I dare say it was worth the wait.

It all started watching some videos of cooking just out of inquisitiveness to find the recipe of fish finger which happens to be APPU's favourite dish. 

Though I never tried that dish, I went on exploring on my other favorite tastes. 

I have a thing for sweets so it was quite obvious that I tried my hands on sweets first.

I must say, before I started of venturing into cooking, I had a clear thought in my mind of not trying the same usual stuffs which my mom or my relatives make. I wanted to make dishes or sweets which none had tried making in my family before. 

As it happened, I love rasmalai and got hold of a simpler form of making rasmalai through Showmethecurry makers. That was my first venture and I made rasmalai within half an hour of watching the video and the taste was exquisite.

Then I wanted to try my hands of my favorite Chicken. 

So far I made,

Butter chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Popcorn to name a few..

I must admit making tandoori chicken was quite an adventure by itself...I made my house into two in quest of making coal....I burnt dried coconut shells.. I had a small mud-pot which I used to make tandoori, quite frankly I was blown away by the taste ...nothing less than hotel tastes... I loved the smell of  smokiness which was included into the flavour..

Thus, my journey started, I expected it to go onto next level and try my hands on different county dishes, but eventually ended up like the heading, intermittent!!!!!!!!!!

Beat the Heat

What was I thinking, can I really beat the chennai's synonym "hot weather". Talking about chennai's weather, I recall an incidence happened in convergys, a technician was over the phone with a US customer, apparently they were having a chit-chat while the customer was rebooting her systems which forms the part of troubleshooting steps. 

The technician was very inquisitive to know the weather types of where customer live, and quite obviously the customer happened to ask the same abouts of the place where the technician is in, Convergys was at Bangalore, but the technician hailed from chennai, so answered oh we enjoy only three types of weather in chennai and that is HOT, HOTTER  & HOTTEST, much to my amusement the customer bursted out laughing seeing the humour in technician portrayal of mere weather.

Hmm, apart from humour, chennai's heat is most vulnerable. Lucky ones are those who live in ground floor. Now that I live in first floor with no houses on top of my roof, the heat gladly flows down straight into our living area. Much worse is the nights, ah it becomes so unbearable, I usually become nothing but sulkier.

And funny part is every year the weather reports say, the temperature is like never before in the history. So everyyear the world is getting affected and that calls for some serious thinking about GLOBAL WARMING and every soul in this earth can make a huge difference if contributed together. 

Going back to basics won't hurt ....we must do some serious contribution to make the world a better place to live for our own sakes and for our next generation sakes too.

I have taken vow to use petrol, water and electricity wisely on my part.....and Yes I'll stick to my commitment on that vow.

Long live the world with prosperity!

"Dreamo Dream"

I must say it's quite fun dreaming through words!!!!!

Yes, I me and fats have been having gala time through gtalk living our dreams....might sound quite funny and immature...hey but then it's because of so many dreams we have all the privilege of living a luxurious life with all auto machines...

Boy, it's such a fun building conversation on things what me and fats would like to try and things we would like to indulge ourselves into...Hold on, whoever reading it....don't fancy the idea of us thinking of becoming that or this....We are very simple and yes we would like to keep our dreams also simple yet beautiful.....

hey c'mon I am just creating hype.....it's actually very very achievable and petty quests...like Treating ourselves to an exciting holiday at some exciting location,

Buying us few necessary accessories and show off..like nice pair of branded sneakers, goggles..

Booking ourselves into close to five class luxury resort..

Go on trekking on a full moon night to a hilltop and lie down on the grass and watch stars..haha

(Of course we dreamt of taking our loved ones too.....it's hard to resist hehe)

Get sulk, get pampered, get into spa, hit a makeover studio, buy nice cosmetics, designer wares, branded accessories, watch movies....

Few more and so on ...we started it as just as a conversation and found out how much happiness it gives to both of us and made it a routine to discuss on the THINGS TO TRY....THINGS WE WISH lists...

We both are natural sulky people and it's been quite a few days passed on since we promised that we both we will be happy forever for our own sakes....and yes the same number of days has been passed by since we miss on being happy....

As they HAPPINESS IS A STATE OF MIND...which is so true.....when we discuss those things, we travel into a kinda altered state where we find everything beautiful and serene...The mere talks of it brings us helluva joy....I wonder how it would be to experience it in real..

All in all I can say I have been introduced to new level of thinking about human state of mind....maybe I might sound so psychic....but that's not it....I wish everyone must plan something for a holiday and work towards making it come alive not just in imaginary sense...but in all sense god has given us.....

Fats me and you are definitely gonna rock.....Lot's to fill up on our lists!! 

Inshaallah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
