Fenny Chronicles- The Helper Puppy

Within months of having Fenny at home, she knew that we all lived by a routine and she used to enjoy watching each one of us do our work. Like my mom, she used to hang the washed clothes to dry on the clothes line and get them in at evening once they were dry. Fenny decided that she had to help my mom. So one evening she started pulling down the clothes (the ones she could reach) one by one. Before she knew it she was drowning in a bundle of clothes. My mom hearing the strange sounds from our court yard decided to check, only to find a bundle of clothes rolling on the ground and a very black tail peeping out from one end of the bundle. Good intentions with bad execution usually got Fenny into a LOT of trouble with my parents.

One day my dad was cutting some leaves from the garden patch for the kitchen. Fenny was out with him and she saw him busy uprooting these leaves. Having collected enough leaves my dad came inside. These leaves are used to prepare a delicacy, and were very carefully grown by my dad. When he came back out in the garden to take the tools back in, he saw fenny digging furiously uprooting the remaining leaves. The moment she saw my dad she had a look that said, “Come on now, go ahead and pat me on the back. Aren’t you just proud of me?” She did get a pat!

Fenny and I used to share a shelf. The top part of the shelf had my books and the bottom shelf had Fenny’s towels, her goodie box and chews. When we were packing before moving to our new house, my mom had asked me get my books to the hall so that she could put them in cartons and label them. Fenny saw me going to and fro with my stuff. So she decided to do the same she started dragging all her belongings from the bottom shelf and placed them in the hall. I hadn’t noticed her till I was done with my job. We got a box for her, put everything in it and after her inspection of the orderliness of the contents in the box we sealed it labeling it as FENNY.

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
