I Love...


1. The smell of the earth..when it rains…
2. The smell of old books….
3. The smell of freshly washed clothes from the machine…
4. The pleasant evenings, before the arrival of Spring…
5. A message or a call from an old friend, when I am least expecting it, just to say that they “thought” about me,…
6. Love the look on my partner’s face, when he is amused by something I have done or said but doesn’t want to show it.
7. When I whisper “I love You” in my son’s ears while he is sleeping, and he replies, “I know”
8.When my cousin and I share the nostalgic moments from our growing up years…
9. When a fellow Mother looks up and gives a ‘been there experienced that’ smile in a mall, when my brat is showing off his tantrum throwing skills…
10. Sitting in a Coffee Shop and looking at the people walking in with varied moods and expressions…
11. Getting transported to a different world while listening to some song…
12. Smiling at old photographs…
13. Having my coffee in the quiet hilly surroundings, while on a holiday…
14. Solitary walks…
15. The feeling of content, when I get to know that I was the reason for someone’s smile…
16. Leisure baths…
17. When an old friend says, “Please, I know you too well”…
18. When I am able to laugh at myself…
19. Getting surprise gifts…
20. The smell in the air, in the month of November, before the onset of chilly winters in Delhi…
21. My growing up years in KB…
22.  The smell of freshly brewed coffee…
23. When I am told I can’t, and the shocked look on the person’s face when I prove them wrong…
24. The very often used movies and popcorn combo…
25. Putting my feet up, digging into my comfort food of Bread and soupy veggies, and watching a fav movie on dvd, alone…
Ahh!! Many more to list… this is enough as of now… :)

Clouded..

What do you do on days you feel rejected? Judged? Dismissed as someone who is not worthy of any responsibility........

Things I learnt about baking...

One of the most important requirements for baking... Clean hands Clean hands Clean hands... Well this I knew, that your hands should be clean, always for us and our family.But in baking, its a necessity. I will tell you why. The flour can get on your clothes and hair, you are not going to look like a million bucks like Nigella from Nigella feasts or Laura from Laura in the kitchen. Please, its very simple.

Electric mixers have to be practiced with, as the speed can spoil the consistency, I still haven't used one, but this tip was shared by a good frie...
