2013 it will be..

I was having my coffee in the morning as usual, when I saw the caption 'time flies'. That set me thinking. Checked the date, and couldn't believe that there were just 5 days left for 2012 to end. Phew! 

Well, it's cliched, because every year, I say the same thing. I desperately wanted 2011, to end slowly, as the arrival of 2012 meant that I would have to leave Bangalore, but obviously, we do not have control over time. So 2012 came, I moved, and I am still settling in so to say, and now it's time to welcome another year. Thank God for surviving one more year. This is one prayer that I always say every year.

New Year, new beginnings, so I guess I have to wait and watch what 2013 has in store for me. In the meanwhile, I will draw up my list of resolutions - that is a ritual, and I love to do it every year. I do not stick to the list, so this time, losing weight is definitely NOT there, though I still have to work on my water intake. I am worse than a camel when it comes to drinking water. I have mentioned this earlier. Not listening to 'Bullshit' was one of the resolutions taken last year and I must say, I have done good.

So, people who read my nonsense, thank you very much. It means a lot to me. Here's wishing you a very happy new year. Be naughty. Be flawed because, being normal and being perfect is BORING!! Cheers!!

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...
