The Wimp, The Roach Stars and a MURDER.

It was yet another boring day in college, with nothing much happening around us except for the usual chattering, clackclacking and bakbaking. For some reason I was extremely quiet that day till my friend came rushing into my class telling me she'd spotted a roach and wanted me to catch it. Something is better than nothing, so I went and caught the roach. Now it was my friend the roach and me. Then we saw our real prey walking towards us. Lets call him The Wimp. The wimp always has a happy smile on his face and a nice guy in general but definitely lives up to his name. He's scared of looking at cockroaches! This was our fun time and I showed him my prisoner and he started running. He pretty much understood that I intended to set the roach on him and so began the chase my friend and I in pursuit of The Wimp. Finally I decided to just wait outside his class, the guy had to enter it at some point of time. By this time the roach was in my friends hand and when I saw the wimp approach the class I decided to hide and in he walked, right on cue into the trap. BOO! said I,the guy was so startled he just lost his balance and fell back hard on a bench. CRACK! It was an astonishingly loud noise. Everybody turned to look at me and I knew it was time I retreated to my own classroom. Yelling my apologies to the wimp I turned to escape, when came The Wimp's friend and said, "Hey, Show me the cockroach." By this time I'd turned into a meek mouse and was just about to show The Wimp's friend the roach when he took my hand and clasped it real hard. Crack!( This time a mild one, like an egg shell cracking) The next thing I know my hand is all damp I opened my palm and on it lay the slain roach. For no fault of its, it had been murdered by The Wimp's friend. The wimp was happy that yet another roach had been wiped away from the surface of this earth. Sadists! A sad day for the roach community:(

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
