That time of the year...AGAIN!!!

So, 2013 is here. New Year is a time for changes, of changes..something new, somethings not so new.

I gave a 'new' look to my blog layout. I look at every new year as an opportunity to change something, or start something new. No big deal about it, it's as nonsensical a thought as my nonsensical blogs are ;).

And, my favourite activity is making resolutions, oh! I love it, don't ask me why, I just love making and breaking resolutions. I am ready with my resolutions for 2013, albeit a lil late, but it's there.

This year I decided not to add weight loss to my list, because, its pointless. I start with a lot of vigour and all it takes is a Belgian chocolate shake, or some rich dark choco pastry or after 8's to lose focus. Ugh!


  • My first resolution is to make sure that I get enough sleep. Am not an owl, I don't suffer from insomnia, but I am unable to get good and enough hours of peaceful sleep. There is always a dream and I just completely lose myself in it, and then the alarm rings. Sigh!
  • Take care of my skin, and follow the cleansing-moisturizing-toning regime, OK that's too much to do everyday, I will atleast do the cleansing bit every night. Well, my skin is not in a bad condition, but recently, someone told me, that blessings also need to be taken care of, otherwise it will soon turn into a curse.
  • Drink water! Phew! This finds it way back into my list, can you imagine I live in a city which experiences the worst summer, and if I have managed to stay without water then also, then am definitely not a human, probably a camel's cousin - this statement was from my Dad.
  • Order less from flipkart - Yeah! I am a flipkart addict. I order a lot of books, then I give it away to people generously, without reading it. And then I crib when those books are not returned, and I order the same ones again. Hoarder!
  • Instead of saying, we should 'do something' I will actually do something. Its started more or less, especially after the gang rape. I have become more daring.
  • I will speak my mind, and I am not going to sugar coat them.
  • I will stand up for myself, whoever it is. I am done with people trying to hush me up, interrupt me, telling me the do's and dont's.
  • I am not going to sit quietly or ignore anyone's trashy talks. I will raise my voice. In the garb of friends, and well wishers, who have done everything but wished me well.
  • I will learn something new, if possible every month.
  • I will colour my hair.
  • I will wear more colors. Wear skirts, buy more accessories.
  • I will not stick to the same routes, I will drive my car without any fear.
  • I will write more nonsense ;)
OK! Am done. 13 resolutions for 2013. Not bad at all. I should be able to keep the resolutions, I will amend them if needed, but not break. And I am also going to review it every now and then. :)

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...
