The week that was...


So, the days that went by were fun… Had a dream vacation in Singapore, a blissful trip.. Came bag happy, with loads of goodies.
Getting back to the routine was difficult, the first day of work especially, had to literally push myself out of bed. See thats what holiday does to you..sigh!
Then I wrote a Thank You message to a friend who helped me by telling me about what to buy and where to buy in Singapore. Protocols need to be followed you see… Am sure, you are cursing me for this line..but, I mean it.. :)
Now, settled in the normal routine again, and dreaming of the next vacation destination ;)
My cousin had a baby girl too..so there are now two Dolls in my house, and my son has suddenly acquired the status of ‘elder brother’, and he is very attached to my sister’s kid, he is very protective about her, of course, the stage of complaints will follow soon, when the lil one grows up, and starts taking his toys and things, that will be a nice phase…actually a fun phase, to see a boy and girl fighting and complaining.. :)
Spoke to another friend yesterday, after a long time, got to know she is Pregnant with the second child. Felt happy for her, it will be quite amusing to see her handling two children, a demanding husband, and running a house…eagerly,looking forward to that situation.
With so many good things happening around me, I am of course happy and excited. Plus, Diwali is around the corner, thats the only festival I look forward to every year, lighting diyas and candles, decorating the house with streams of lights… Wearing new clothes, obviously!!
Till next time…Ciao!!!

Clouded..

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...
