No Regrets - So I say...

While coming back home, a colleague asked me, “Is there something that you regret or you wanna go back and erase in your life?” I said, “No regrets, but, given an opportunity I would like to erase few things”

This question dominated my mind for a while, I asked myself, if I was to go back and erase few things, where would I start from?

There were too many things to erase, decisions that brought about a 360 degree change in my life. Needless, to say I was misty eyed, was a lil low for sometime, the minute I hit the bed, I burst into tears, I would have cried for about half an hour, and then felt better. Got up, freshened up, and then realized, what’s the point in thinking about stuff that cannot be changed? Why should I waste my present thinking about what could have happened, whatever had to happen has happened, now it can’t be changed, unless there is a miracle – chances of which are bleak.

There have been learnings, no doubt about that. The learnings came with a price, nevertheless, valuable lessons learnt. I would rather live my present than dwell on my past or plan for my future, because, whatever will be…will be!!!!

What do you do on days you feel rejected? Judged? Dismissed as someone who is not worthy of any responsibility........ The answers are the same, stay motivated, don't let it bog you down, turn your attention towards something else.......... All said and done, when you are hurt, you are hurt, there is nothing that can distract you from that feeling, you are bound to feel sad, angry, upset.. True, that you cannot sit and mope for days together and eventually, you do move on after that incident, but for that moment, nothing takes your attention away from the miserable feeling....

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. They edit everything, they don't show that the preparations have been already done. The flour or any ingredient, can get anywhere in spite of the apron. It's not about being clumsy. So, put away those designer outfits, so that you can focus on baking than saving your clothes. No matter how good a baker you are, the cake will show its mood swings, it will not rise, especially on the days, you want to bake for someone. 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...
