R.I.P IPL until the ghosts surface next season. Last night was such tragedy. You would think some major catastrophe hit us earthlings when RCB was defeated by MI. It WAS a catastrophe. It took excess will power not to put up status messages either cheering for RCB or jeering the team they were up against so as not to jinx the match. But, well… it happened and now it is over. Sadness.


Seriously for the guy who wrote ‘The Great Indian Novel’, Mr. Tharoor couldn’t you have come up with a better defense than playing the sympathy card? I hate to admit it but I actually respected you even though you belonged to the ‘other’ party. Now I know for a fact that even the smartest most educated politician is not immune to Vitamin M*. [ Not that I am claiming you are the smartest or the most educated politician we have.]


Where is the President? What is she doing? Does anyone know she exists? [These 3 questions have no relevance to this post, I am merely wondering. Can I have her job? I could do it better.]


Dear Mr. President of U.S of A,

Thanks for warning Pakistan not to use the aid provided by you against India. I am sure they will comply. After all they ALWAYS listen to you.


P.S: Ms. Clinton, don’t you think you are being a bit harsh [completely out your mind] stating that India is not helping fight terrorism? You do realize you are feeding our neighbor and nudging them to carry on their activities like the sadistic nanny in ‘The hand that rocks the cradle’?


Sania and Shoiab got married. Out of curiosity would Mayawati marrying a Pakistani have caused just as much frenzy? Just wondering. *Evil Grin*


Did Congress have to make an issue out of Amitabh Bachchan being in Gujrat? Not really. So was Congress right in screeching foul when Rahul’s presence at the University was similarly looked down upon by BJP?



Really INC is like that little bratty kid who makes rules as it plays along and forgets about the rules when it pleases. Really! Grow up!


Divulging some personal news – I am happy to say I quit my job and it has been one heck of a month recouping. I was almost killed. I also almost killed someone.


Peace.

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
