BOMBAY TOAST!

Imagine the scene... You are swaying your body to David Garrett music (cos calling it dance in my case, is insulting :P).Suddenly, the bell to your room rings (yes, my room has a bell which people love to ring just for the heck of it), so you walk down the stairs in search of your mom. suddenly, a delicious smell hits your senses and leads you into the kitchen where delicious Bombay toast is being made!

For many people, Bombay toast is no big deal (this particular dish goes by different names in different parts of the world ), but for me, its a rarity... a piece of heaven. I bit into it and could literally feel myself floating in a cloud of bliss. Of course, my family laughed at the way i was relishing it. But who cares? for those few minutes... 

So here's how you make it- You mix egg, milk and sugar in a bowl and dip bread slices in it. Before the bread becomes too soggy you fry it in a well buttered pan and then.... you go on a journey to heaven!

AND HERE WE GO... ANOTHER RESOLUTION?

Hmm... Its been more than a year since the last time i posted  out here. A year. Sad really. Well, I decided to look at my blog and make some changes. The layout, background and some of the posts have been changed. I have decided to make the blog a little informal (starting from today :P) and put in more day to day occurrences AND... WRITE MORE THAN ONCE A YEAR! :p hopefully this will be one resolution i can keep :P

My Desk gets a Makeover !!! :D

After days, weeks, months even,of watching it being overloaded with a variety of papers,books,scraps and some unmentionable items, atlast... i decided to organise my trusty old desk - the very same one that saw me through my Winnie The Pooh and Barbie/Kelly days .I guess if desks could talk, this one would file a suit against me. Whats worse? It would win! :p It has been unmercifully loaded with not just books, but with food ( random bff parties- dont ask :P),coffee, cups, cans, glasses, clothes , people (my cousins always love sitting on it)  and random items which cant be kept anywhere else - all of which has transformed it from a handsome, proud, wooden beauty to a discoloured ,sad, under-appreciated piece of... furniture :P

Thank god it cant complain! Anyway, given that today is a holiday and that i cant stand to see its sorry plight anymore ,I decided to put it out of its misery and started to organise it.With punjabi beats playing in the background ,determination in my mind and a mountain of files beside me, I started what i thought would take no time. Boy!Was i mistaken! It took me two hours of running behind flyaway sheets,segregating,laughing at 'notes' passed around in class, trashing several papers and generally breathing chaos!At the end of it, i am left with very few articles and a whole continent of trash. But its worth it cos i can almost see my desk smiling at me :P

           

CLEANING OUT MY CUPBOARD : A heartwarming experience

I am one of those people who have a large cupboard which is stuffed with clothes (5%) and other stuff (95%).Today, I was cleaning out my cupboard after 2 years (ouch!). Basically, my cupboard has 4 shelves in 2 parts. The second ( and main ) shelf is literally big enough for a 5'1 sized person to sleep in! and it is this portion that holds a lot of my stuff of the past 3-4 years (the other shelves have stuff dating back to 8 years :P).



Initially, I was full of enthusiasm to finish the work as fast as possible and went into super-woman mode... but  as the cleaning went on, I started uncovering 'treasures' and my movements slowed down. Some of them brought tears to my eye ( of joy, pride and remembrance ) , some of them made me smile. Yet others made me laugh out ( my diaries written in 8th grade and the guide to magical creatures my friend and I wrote at about the same time :P) and some of them made me sigh. I always thought I was a careless , but my opinion started to change when I saw how carefully I had preserved so many treasures over the years.I found an un-started scrap book which I was supposed to have started working on in the beginning of last year but had not  yet gotten down to.I found all the stuff I had collected to put into it and my heart warmed , looking at them.


so, even though I had started the cleaning spree with a resolution to clean out at least 80% of my stuff, I found myself incapable of dumping even 10% of it. I set them all back neatly into my cupboard... leaving the trashing job for the next time I decide to clean out :P

A CRUSH : THE WEIRD FEELINGS WE SOMETIMES HAVE :D

It was just a normal day
until you out of nowhere came
into my life as a whisper,
and changed me so i could never be the same

I had never spoken to you,
never given you any attention
and yet, your stares my way,

put my heart in confusion

"Do you really 'look' at me?
or is it just my imagination?
even if you do, why do I care?
For a crush, why do they act as foundation?"

It hurts me to see you
walk around and never make a move
I want to know you, and you- me
as truth or otherwise, I ask you to prove

And since that very first day,
that very first look,
you have been on my mind
and made for yourself, an ever awake nook
