This and that September 4, 2007

I was browsing through a few random Orkut profiles (I think I do this too much for my own good) and now feel like I want to be 18 again, want to go to college, want to have some whacky friends, want to feel hopelessly bored and sleepy in class, want to sit up and do assignments… arghh! You get the drift.

To make up for it, I am thinking of taking up a photoshop class in Hyderabad. Maybe a weekend one. I could really use it to enhance the pics I take. Also considering upgrading my camera. But that has to wait till my bonus is here, can’t afford it now.

I have started a new event in my cooking blog so if you are even slightly inclined, please do take part. Its fun!!

I am tired and want to go home and watch friends reruns and other stuff on TV. Just that and nothing else. Arghhh!!

More cooking blog stuff August 23, 2007

I came across a very unique event called show me your cookbook and I took part in that. We have to take a pic of ourselves with our favourite cook book. Want to see my entry? Here it is The pic is quite funny (weird? strange?) cuz I took it myself

Whatever, eh? August 16, 2007

* I feel bloated most of the time. As in, like I have put on a lot of weight. Maybe I have, but never used to get this feeling so much. Think its cuz of absolute lack of exercise and too much junk in office. I think I have cribbed about my hair and my weight a taaaaad too much in here, sorry my ever-forgiving readers. If I have crossed the line this time, please feel free to abuse me through a comment.

Immediately after typing the above paragraph, I went for a walk around the office building. Feel slightly better now.

* I realised over the past week that I have too many clothes. This situation, strangely, gives me a very low feeling. Why? Cuz that means I can’t buy more clothes guilt-free. I think I accumulated too many recently when I had to get some formal shirts, trip to Dublin, then all the Google tees that we got, the salwars I got from back home.. Sheesh. So its no clothes for the rest of the year. To add to my agony, all the malls are on a sale in Hyderabad at this time!

* I am spending a little too much time on my cooking blog these days. The reason: feeling of guilt for neglecting it for over two months cuz of travelling for work, mostly. This is freaking me out. If this is the way I choose to get over neglect-guilt, then it might go dangerous. Why? What if I feel I have been negecting house-work for too long and quit my job or something. Ok, that was a little too much even for me. You are right, I should just chill. (That reminds me, I need some good plates and stuff to photograph the food. I only have steel plates now. Probably those colorful yet cheap stuff we find in Shilparamam)

* Really really looking forward to the weekend. Have some random stuff to do and then planning a movie. Rush Hour 3. Ok ok I know. But we didn’t get tickets to Transformers or Chak De. And we really need a break, Prat and I. We sat at home entire 2 days last weekend and Aug 15th holiday too.

Am I losing my blogger touch? (shudder). Or is it just me who finds this post utterly dull, boring and lacking in any humour what-so-ever?

Hit the 25 mark – and don’t need a stick to walk, yet! August 13, 2007

25 is quite old to be! Isn’t it? I mean, 24 is such a nice cocoon, after 23 where you are still young, and you are allowed your mistakes and you career starts and all that. 24 is the amazing comfortable cocoon, where you can nestle in till the big 2 and 5 hits you. I just winced the day off, quite low-key and all that.

I had set aside stuff to do during each year, you know.. roughly. Like get a job by 23, start saving by 26, get married before 30.. loose things. Have nothing for this year. I think I gave myself a break when I was devising these plans. So this is my break year. And right about now, 2 days after the birthday, I think its officially time to start freaking out about 26! Oh boy! I don’t care what you are going to say this time, but 26 is OLD! That’s like over the hill and started the crazy drive down!

And I don’t even remember being on top of the hill or enjoying the view. Sigh.

Had a great day though. Toddle over to my cooking blog in case you want to know more about my special day and what exactly I did. I even have pics up there. And a huge thanks to all those awesome people who wished me and got stuff for me. My roomie baked a cake for me in the OTG that was her gift . Yeah, she’s o.k.a.y!

Here it is:

For The Cook In Me April 23, 2007

I don’t know how many of you noticed the new link on the top left corner. So here is the big announcement. How many of you knew I have a huge interest in cooking? Ah not many, I know Anyway, following that passion of mine, I have started a food blog!! (Drum rolls in the background)

Please do check it out here.

I am concentrating on simple and easy recipes, something like bachelor cooking. The only problem is, I only cook during weekends so updation will be a problem. And if there is anything I hate, its an inactive blog.

There are some really awesome food blogs out there and I feel humbled by them all. Maybe one day (read: when I cook atleast one meal everyday) I will have as much variety and activity as they do on their blogs.

I am really excited about this. Wish me luck! And yes, please do leave comments on the photos, even if you don’t really try out my recipes.
