The Birthday finally arrived.  With much awaited Wine and overdosed Mutton-awesome-Biryani (Chef Lucille) and 1 Direction showering their love on us, it was a day (rather night) worth remembering! I hope Enid, you remember all the things to be achieved till the next birthday rolls in! Till then wish you bundles of joy and 1D concerts! 

Love me like always 🙂

Those who are confused who the two guys are beside her, well, keep guessing, I ain’t telling! (Hint: They are famous heart throbs) 

PS – One day when you come home at 9pm, i’ll be off to sleep. One day. 

Happy Birthday Meghana Bhaskara!

Maybe someday I’ll be quick enough to post these Birthday wishes on time. But as I say always, “somewhere in the wide world its still your birthday!” :*

A very Happy Birthday Megoo! 

End of July, midst all the new faces, there was a girl with an orange suitcase waiting to go to her new room, her accommodation for the next 4 years. She was little shy but came with a huge circumference. And then you said Hi. College would not have been the same if you had not greeted me that day. As they say, if you make one friend on the first day of your college, you are gonna be okay. Not knowing (back then), it would turn my world upside down and I’ll have the best times of my college. Thank you for all those beautiful memories, late night chit-chats while hunting for food, under the blanket conferences, heartbreak sagas, talking in the rain, fights, Bhojpuri mess dramas; all of it. I knew, being with you, smile will always follow. I miss us. 

Good luck for your new journey and miss you. 

Love you my Goo. ❤ Stay Blessed. 

An Open Letter

This letter goes out to the people who have discriminated me because I did not fit into their dress size.To all the people who have called me fat over the years.

The first such remark I remember is when I was in class four, among short and skinny little girls while I was tall and quite large. The people who have insinuated it all in a harmless joke or an unoriginal on my face “the ground will crack when you fall” joke. To all the guys who said they loved me, my ‘personality’, my wit and how easy I was to be with and yet couldn’t like me because I was one or two sizes too big. This one is for you.

Though till now I may have always got hurt by your lewd remarks and snide comments but now I understand that its either because of your low self esteem or your overconfidence. Thanks to you, I would rather stay alone in my room reading a good book or watching an even better movie than come out and be a part of your plastic existence. When I am decent enough not to talk about your crooked noses, your wispy hair or patchy skin. Your inability to put two words in a sentence together. You have no right to give me a judgmental monologue from your shallow books.

Worst day of my life

“Worst day of my life.”

 

What an idiotic sentence this is. How can you even be sure of your worst day? How can it be the worst day of your life when you are still alive. Very much. Breathing. How can you attest that further there won’t be any days worse than your current [pseudo] “worst day of your life”? Hence how can you just conclude that its the worst day of your life not knowing what will happen next. This sentence could [actually] be rather used when you are dying; when you can rewind and have a look at the fast-forwarded version of your life and can then conclude , “oh! this is the worst day of my life!” But here is the twist, what if you do not die then and there and maybe tomorrow is the actual worst day, then? You did a wrong conclusion, didn’t you? But you are dying, will it really matter which was the worst day of your life? Why would anyone be remembering their worst days during the last days? What about the best days?

“This was the best day of my life” – is actually a funny sentence too…

Stuffed Chilies

Tonight I was super late from work and the recipe which I am going to share is super easy and less time consuming and tastes great too. The recipe has been altered a little according to my convenience as I don’t like to get messy while cooking.

Note: This recipe originally belongs to capsicum but unfortunately the vendor beside my house had shitty capsicum so I settled for huge Chilies which is more or less the same. 

INGREDIENTS:

• Huge Chilies (3 nos.)
• Paneer (100 gms)
• Potato (1 big)
• Thin Sliced Tomato (1 no.)
• Ginger Garlic Paste (1 teaspoon)
• Jeera powder (cumin powder – 1 teaspoon)
• Dhaniya powder (Coriander seeds powder – 1 teaspoon)
• Red Chilli Powder (1 teaspoon)
• Turmeric Powder (1 teaspoon)
• Garam Masala (1 teaspoon)
• Salt (as per taste)
• Sugar (one fourth of a teaspoon)
• Oil
• Green Chilies (as per your needs)
• Chopped Fresh Coriander Leaves

METHOD:

Boil the potatoes. Mash them. Add Paneer and mash and mix them together and keep it separate. Put the Chilies in hot water so that they become little soft (this is optional, you can use them raw as well). Take a round bottom vessel. Add Oil. Add Sugar and Ginger Garlic paste. Add the Tomatoes. Put all the spices (except Garam Masala) and saute. After the skin seperates from the tomato, add the mashed mixture kept aside. Cook till every thing mixes well. Add the Coriander leaves and Garam Masala. Turn off the flame. Keep the stuffing aside. Make a slit opening in all the chilies and take out the excessive seeds. Fry them in a frying pan. Shallow Fry. Take them out and soak the extra oil with tissue paper. You definitely do not want pimples the next day. Add the stuffing into the chilies and done! Ready to dig in. Serve with Indian breads.

Note: You can stuff the chilies and then fry it. I just do it the other way to avoid the mess while flipping the chilies. 

The stuffed Chilies, ladies and gentlemen 🙂

Such a quick recipe ❤
