The Art of Cooking..

Categorized Under: Cooking No Commented

Let me begin by saying apologies to all the readers for lack of activity in the past couple of months. Life has been hectic and now that things are finally falling in place, you can expect posts every once in awhile. Now that I have gotten it out of the way, let me get to [...]

Back on better server..

Categorized Under: Other No Commented

So after much dilly-dallying, we have finally moved to our own servers. The blog was hosted on a free server for awhile now and I was not very happy about it. It used to go down every once in awhile making it hard to blog when we wanted to. Its not like we’ve too many [...]

Perhaps Love..

Categorized Under: Anniversary, Love, Personal, Poem, Relationship, Valentines day No Commented

To me, love is a lot of comfort. It is comforting for me to know that, at the end of the day, I have a shoulder to rest on. Someone to spill everything out to. Someone I can count on to make me smile, even if I’m exhausted. Someone to simply make me feel better [...]

Of fire and ice

Reading Jagadish’s post reminded me of a poem I read when I was still in high school. My favorite English teacher, Edward Butscher, taught it to us. He, by the way, is a brilliant teacher. I believe he has even published some good books. He’s so funny and slightly eccentric. Smoked a lot-so much that [...]

What if?

Even though the poem seems simple in its meaning, it seemed like there was a subliminal meaning hidden inside it. The way the [...]

Changes: Wanting to be married

Categorized Under: Changes, Love, Marriage, Relationship one Commented

I have forever detested the concept of marriage. I never understood why people needed to be married. My parents haven’t done anything to enhance my opinion on marriage either.

This is part II of the series I had begun with Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal. Another beautiful love story.
I confess I havent seen the movie, Mughal-e-Azam. I don’t quite know what the story of that movie is either, but what I do remember is that famous song, ‘Pyar kiya to darna kya?’ (that translates [...]

Apple: No, not the iPhone.

Categorized Under: Technology No Commented

I have an Apple iPod (like millions of others). I also have an Apple Macbook (probably also millions). I dont have an iPhone (like the select hundreds/thousands out there). Which is okay, really. I could not afford that for the life of me. Not only is the phone itself expensive, but the plan one is [...]

Changes: Learning Patience..

Categorized Under: Changes, Love, Other, Relationship No Commented

Not everyone is perfect. We all have our imperfections and there are things about us that we can’t help but loathe. I’m not talking about narcissists but for an average human being, we see more faults in ourselves than others do. Sometimes we even go to the extent of hating ourselves because of these imperfections. [...]

Good one
