So true except for the thesis bit, in my case its 7 Reports on the driest topics on earth minus my case study which fortunately was something I got to pick.

The Girl Gene

It is very amusing when boys try to understand girls. When I say understand I don’t mean the emotional fluctuation which seems absolutely normal for my gender but instead the basic female quirks like clutch purse, impulsive PDA and tampons. Once my friend and I went gift hunting. While looking through things I noticed my friend had gone missing. I found him near the hand bag section holding a clutch and staring at his image in the mirror. [Honestly: I thought my friend was switching teams.] “How do you girls hold on to these things?

At my home we are all on a diet for health reasons, which is why my last post was health related and this is a healthy recipe too. Every Indian kid knows Tarla Dalal. As a child I remember watching her cookery shows and for the longest time I thought people who cooked were magicians too. When you pause and think about it, one takes a bunch of ingredients and the end result of putting those ingredients together is a party for one’s palate. I wanted to make green peas soup without stock and was looking for the easiest recipe when I chanced on TarlaDalal’s recipe . The ingredients are as follows : ·                     1 Cup fresh green peas ·                     1 Medium sized white onion. ·                   ...
