It is Sunday and I know the junta prefers utilizing this day in doing a lot of things and staying in is not even a top priority. But for me today is a sleep/eat/drink/loo break/blog/eat/sleep/blog day. Everyday for the past two weeks I have come home had dinner and crawled into the bed and woken up feeling even more tired than I was before I slept.

I suppose it is all thanks to my list. The list has kept me much occupied leaving little scope for free time. I have never had a list. I am not a list person and the fact that I have had to resort to one either means I am getting old or that I had lost my Mojo*. I think it is the Mojo. Because inspite of the last 14 days being hectic I could feel my Mojo return. I’d missed my Mojo. When I had my Mojo I did what I wanted to because I wanted. Nothing was ever on the “list”. Why make a list of things you want to do? Why not just start doing it? Sheesh when I realized that my Mojo has been missing for sometime I was scared that I’d lost it forever. Now that I feel it return I can’t help but grin :D

Also later in the day I am going to watch the forever entertaining Battle between Nadal and Federer :)

This already promises to be an excellent Sunday. Good morning world! :)

* The word originally means charming or a spell. Stick to it meaning just this. Much thanks.

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
