Sunday Musings!

I have 60 eggs stocked in my fridge and i'm not kidding one bit! It looks something like this!


Anyway.. Here is how.. One of my mom's friends has a farm and so she had a generous day and sent my mom this "little present". I know its cool and stuff! But 60? COME ON!

Anyway so since the time it came home, we first distributed it to kind people around us but we're still left with plenty so we're having a egg party! :D

It started with Egg fried rice today, which turned out pretty delicious btw!  And then now i just made a batch of deviled eggs, which were pretty good too :)


For tonight I'm thinking on the lines of a egg cutlet mayeb? THIS recipe caught my eye..


And maybe egg pizza or sandwich for breakfast! Haha.. I'm sure ill hate the sight of egg for a few weeks after this!

Five Minute Friday - Stereotypes


I just thought ill take five mins this Friday evening to talk about something that's been on my mind a while, Stereotypes.

We live in a society that's quick to Stereotype people based on just about anything like physical appearance, color, race, religion, sex, education. And media still plays a huge role in contributing to this mindset. And being a part of this society we have, i'm sure been both victims and predators at some point in time. One of the most common one is the 'dumb blonde" which we all have heard or probably even used at some point in time.



Yeah? Now you get where i'm heading. I'm no saint i know i have said stuff i should not have in this context more than just a few times. But that's the whole point of growing up, right? Learn, mature, live better. This is me doing that.



Careful research (Google searches can be called that, right?) i found that most of these common Stereotypes we oh so casually use have ABSOLUTELY NO FACTS to back them. Not feeling so cool about those name callings now, are we?

What can we do now? Stop throwing them at people? YES. Because, honestly throwing the moral compass aside lets just think logically shall we? One Stereotype that comes to mind immediately, is the one that says Only men think about SEX a looot. Not true, women are no longer the type than worry about clean plates and clothes. Trust me, i would know!

Some common lame one i found at THIS site that will make you smile :)

Men
  • Men are stronger and more aggressive.
  • Men are better at sports.
  • Men hate reading.
  • Men always have an "I don't care" attitude.
  • Men are tough.
  • Men are thickheaded.
  • Men like cars.
  • Men wear whatever is clean.
  • Men usually work in messy places.
  • Men like car or porn magazines.
  • Men brag about intimacy.
  • Men take too many chances.
  • Men always lose all arguments against girls.
Women
  • Women always smell good.
  • Women take forever to do anything.
  • Women are more brilliant than men.
  • Women are always moody.
  • Women try to work out problems while men take immediate action.
  • All women like the color pink.
  • All women like dolls.
  • Women become cheerleaders.
  • Women take 2 hours to shower.
  • Women hog the bathroom.
  • Women love mirrors.
  • Women like make-up.
  • Women are fussy about their hair.
  • Women like fashion magazines.
  • Women are discrete about intimacy.
  • Women do not drive well.
  • Women never take chances.
  • Women always talk too much on the phone.
  • Women actually use only 5% of what's in their purse. Everything else is junk.
Be wise, don't assume.. Lets use our God given brains together, to bring change and make this world a better place :)

Currently!

I'm loving how i can come here and type away even if no one is listening. There is something about blogging that is very satisfying.

So today i thought ill just let everybody know what is "Currently" happening in life.

Um.. On the work front I'm working at this amazing place with all these amazing people..Few glitches here and there, but everything smoothing out pretty well as of now. There were a few ego clashes, but sense prevailed and life is good.

Physically i'm not in a very good place. There is nothing majorly wrong with me, but i have this oh so annoying uneasy feeling alllllll the time, its a tummy ache or a random headache, or just a deep pitted feeling in my stomach. I can't put a finger on what it could be or what is causing it! Its just weird, because i haven't really eaten anything out of my usual diet too. I hope it sorts itself out soon.

I'm in a very happy place mentally, i don't know why but the past week has been a high for me, in terms of my mood. Its beautiful and blissful!



Well, in my side of the world its 8:20 am, and its quite a pleasant morning. Everyone at home has just left for work and i have precisely 45 mins 38 seconds to shower and get dressed before my cab is here. Im contemplating making myself a hot bowl of noodles or just having breakfast later in office.

And oh i seem to have left my phone charger around somewhere again, my phone just got into the "annoying buzzing every two seconds' mode to
warn me of its death soon.

Time to run Ya'll! Have a grand week. :)

New look, Old me!

Greetings Earthlings!

Has anyone noticed how i revamped this tiny little place of my own? Its exciting and satisfying. I slowly see this place becoming all i want it to be.

I'm becoming kinda sorta a weekend blogger these days. I come home around 9:30 pm every night, and honestly, i don't have the drive to write a post so late.. i just eat and jump into bed or at the most watch a movie on good days.

Anyway, I'm here today to share a yummy recipe i came across and made morning, and loved so much! I had buns, eggs and a growling tummy. I had no clue what to make.. and had that itch to eat something new. So i searched the internet and discovered MASALA BUNS!




It hardly took me 15 mins and it was heavenly. I used this recipe with few tweaks to suit my taste and it turned out perfect! Have buns and eggs? You wont regret trying this one :)

' To friends of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

For those of you who haven't heard today is International Friendship day. I have always struggled to define that word, its just impossible to give it a meaning and confine it to that. A famous quote goes 'Friends are the family you get to choose" as corny and cliche that sounds that's the only thing i can think of that comes close.

Its beyond just hanging out and eating at a new place every other week, Its wayy more.
Its a blessing to have friends. I can proudly acknowledge the fact that i won't be a major part of who i am today if it had not been for my friends.

As we move on with our lives and careers, we sometimes also move on from certain friendships, but that doesn't always change the role they once played in your life.

I have all kinds of friends, the ones we are close with for as long as we can remember.. i have people i have been friends with since i was like 3.. and our relationships have only evolved and gotten more awesome'r over the years. And then there are the school friends,, you can never get over them can you? I'm not in touch with all of them, but when ever i do meet up like even if its once a year, we just take it from where we left off. The gap is never felt. Is it like that with everyone out there? I don't know, but i love how beautiful it is.

And then there are people you just met and you become soul mates in a week. The similarity or disparity whatever facilitates the relationship is so crazy? (<- Read that again slowly). You just meet them and hit it off right from the first time and your soon inseparable.

Then there are others you are close to, lose contact for like 3 or 4 years in between and get together again. I have a few friends like that too. Its insane.. we spent so much time just catching up on the lost years.

And then there are others who randomly bump into us every once in a while.. We were never close to them and probably never will be too.. But they are still quite cherished.

I could go on like this forever. Sometimes my friends have come through for me the moments i have least expected them to. And there are also time i have been let down and really hurt by friends.. but i guess that just adds to the beauty of the whole relationship.

In my big move from college to the corporate world one of the things i missed most were my friends.. but things have been amazing ever since i stopped acting like the newbie to whom people need to come talk to and walked up to talk to people on my own.

So this is a post to all those people i have called a friend over the very many years through school, college and other phases. I would give you a all a hug if i could.

This is also to the friends I'm gonna make in the future. Because i strongly believe you never stop needing friends.

Thank you and I love you all and oh yes before i start babbling again, a very happy friendship day.

Ps: The title of this post is so lame. But honestly, i have a block and can't think of anything else.
