10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.

A lot has happened since I last blogged and yes, this space here went through a dry spell which will hopefully not happen again. Some of the things I have managed to do this past month is to finally make it to Tirpathi. Yup, I had been there when I was 4 months old. In order to create a retain-able memory I had to go there. Hiking up the 7 hills is brilliant because it made me feel like a Lilliputian in the land of Giant Broccoli. The way the place has been maintained and the amount of care taken to ensure that the greenery is abundant is brilliant. I haven’t seen any place in India that is so green, so beautiful and the simple secret behind this is that the government has no say in what happens atop the hills. Yeah! If the government was so much as allowed to sneak its roachy whisker we wouldn’t have had the joy of experiencing nature.

Next week this time I’ll be home packing to go to Mangalore for my cousin’s wedding. She has decided to take a step towards joining the dark forces. I wish marriages were the way I imagine it in my head. I have for some reason always wanted to marry (if I did) a pediatrician who was at least 12 years older than me. I cannot give a rational explanation for the specific profession and the age gap that I have mentioned. It is just that I think it is just right. Again I cannot explain as to why it is right it is just a feeling.

I hadn’t got my winter clothes with me out here to B’lore so I had to make an exclusive trip to get them. I got everything I required and the day I got back it started raining. Now who has heard of rains out here in December? Life’s like that. I also had a terrible day last month when one of my friends mailed me David Archuleta’s version of the song Imagine. I could strangle the guy for ripping the song. Bad-BAd-BAD remake. After the Beatles I like Oasis a lot. I could listen to their album “ What’s the story(Morning Glory?)” a million times over.

Just a while back I was listening to Ironic by Alanis Morisette and hence the title.

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
