Ghar Ki Murgi Dal Barabar


The Scarlette Keeling case has been in news almost daily with a new development cropping up each day. It does make interesting reading, but at the same time you wonder how could a mother of a 15 yr old leave her child without supervision in the drug zone of a country she’s visiting. So we pitied the girl and her watery grave. But as the drama unfolds, we get to know that Scarlette was a junkie and before her murder she had allegedly doped. I’m all for the murder/rapist being punished. But the mother blaming everyone else but herself using Indian media to criticize Indian politicians of having a hand in drug deals is taking things to far. Why? Well the lady herself is a drug peddler for one, and she did leave her daughter in an area where crime and drugs are common, and the woman did know the risk but then she wasn’t concerned. Now that her daughter is dead she has these motherly emotions welling in her and is screeching for justice on all news channels. As always she’s getting all the needed attention and the media has its jackpot of the month.


I definitely dislike firangs; I also definitely hate the way people just bow before them and are ready to be at their beck and call. The New Year eve incident where two firangi ladies were abused came into the limelight and timely action was taken. Same time elsewhere two desi women were also abused not by one man but a MOB! The police just pushed the case away as a normal occurrence at new years. Well that’s justice for you! What infuriates me further is a particular case in Kerala where a man was belted by the police for eve teasing a firangi teenager. Now if a desi girl had complained of the same, the cop would have told her to ignore it and move on with her life, and that’s exactly what happened to a girl she moved on by setting herself ablaze….

Why does this happen? Why do people tolerate it? Has “Ghar ki murgi dal barabar”, become a way of life?

The Oceanic Velvet Cake with a Mother of Pearl Frosting©

Image
My favourite cake is the Red Velvet cake. I like the colour, the texture, the salty-sweet-cream cheese frosting and that mild zing of flavours which alternate between cocoa, vanilla and citrusy. I am not a food blogger. I just have started blogging about food because the pandemic has invariably brought out the chef in me and I have started experimenting on a scale I would not otherwise have. I am usually satisfied with a small cake. It takes less time and less effort… that’s what I thought. Until I decided to make a layered cake. Same time and same amount of effort. After I was done, I realised that baking actually isn’t rocket science. It does take some patience, understanding of how ingredients combine and a bit of artistry to make it pretty. I compensate for my lack of artistry with imagination and creativity. I had set out to bake me a Red Velvet cake. The moment I realised that my birthday will also be during the lockdown I knew I’d have to go about fixing this wi

Google Pixel XL - Review

Image
I had been meaning to change my phone for over a year and it was then that this phone had caught my eye – The Google Pixel XL. I had read so much about it. Found that a lot of people that I am surrounded by had no intentions of getting it. Here is the thing, my sole reason for investing in a gadget has to do with the following: ·         Its price should be within a certain range i.e it should not burn a hole in my wallet. ·         It should at least be guaranteed that the product will be receiving software support for a minimum of 3 years. ·         It should have excellent user interface to make life easy and be a tool for communication as well as relaxation. ·         It should have a good camera. ·         Its accessories must be easily available in the market. It’s with the help of this list that I short listed my “This the phone I’d like to own” list ·         Google Pixel XL (128GB) – INR 56,229 ·         One Plus 5T (128 GB) – INR 37,795 ·         Moto Z2 Play (64GB)   - INR 2

Desitude

The feeling is fleeting and yet for the mere seconds that the thought lasts you realize that you are watching the evolution of a generation that claims to be less corrupt and one that is equipped to take on the world. At the same time you notice that this so called generation has a thick pseudo american accent, ideas are plenty but do they apply to us [Indians] and whether this flash of insight was just a piece read in the news paper? Seriously after having moved to Bangalore I have started noticing things that weren’t so evident in Mysore . Things like a person’s attitude towards people – In case you are dressed up like a westerner you evidently have brains. [because you need to have brains to have a very well coordinated psychedelic wardrobe.] Any one clad in salwar kameez or anything remotely Indian is “ Oh! so still living in the dark ages!” . Anyone who speaks English is smart. Anyone who speaks Hindi is a gawar. Anyone who paints her nails black, bottle
