Cooking Experiment

So, we had a cooking experiment yesterday.

My father saw his article "The house on Serpentine Street" in The Mint. The author remember recipes of Ramzan from his childhood. The author takes the recipe from Andaleeb Wajid's blog. The post is called This ain’t no pepper fry! The recipe is about Phaal. 

My family and I are big foodies. So my mother decided to have another cooking lesson for me. 

Yipee

I like eating not cooking.

Anyways, she made some changes in the recipe. So the onions, tomatoes and coriander were put in the mixer together. The oil was placed in the pan, then the chicken was placed. Then the garam masala, ginger paste, salt and the entire contents of the mixer. All that in a pressure cooker with five whistles. After the second whistle, the heat was decreased. 

Dinner time came. The gravy was too thin and not enough salt. The less salt didn't bother me but I like thick gravy. The salt wasn't my fault but the thin gravy was my fault. If I had checked on it, I would have found it and cooked it longer for the gravy to thicken and then the less salt wouldn't have been noticeable.

Anyways, today was a good day. I listed all the corrections of a manuscript and I still have more to write tomorrow. Good god. The author wrote so many freaking long sentences. I talking about 7 to 8 lines long.

Overall, it was a nice day. Let's see what happens next in my life.

My Brother's Wedding

 Hello All,

I decided on blogging to improve my writing skills. I am in the publication industry, so I need to have proper writing skills. After reading so many stories by amazing writers, I thought it was my time.  I think my life is not very exciting, so it might be boring.

So, I was browsing flipkart for books as usual. I finally found ordered two books. I found a new book called Amreekandesi: Masters of America by Atulya Mahajan which I found through Facebook. 

I browsed through the recommendations and found a new book. This book is My Brother's Wedding by Andaleeb Wajid.

I couldn't put the the book down. I must have gone to sleep by 2 am that night. The main character is Saba and she is literature student. She writes a blog to cope with the craziness of her brother's wedding. She is trying to juggler her college life and the wedding. She used letters to denote her family members to keep their confidentiality. She feels like she is being over shadowed by her older beautiful, vain & manipulative sister and her only brother. It gives an excellent look into how a Muslim wedding entails. I have never been to one, so I am very curios to find out what happens. Weddings shows culture and traditions of people and the whole experience is fascinating to me.

That book also helped me in opening my own blog. My friend has one and she writes about her married life. She said her life is very normal, so I thought why not. As I am writing, I am watching an old episode of Numb3rs. It's the one with the cloned baby and I have already seen this, but there is nothing good on. 

My work day was pretty good and easy today. I had no pending work, so I worked on the website and facebook all day. I love that part where I have to be on Facebook for my job. I checked the entries on the website for mistakes. Whoever did it before me, they didn't do a proper job. There are random question marks in the entries. I mean who doesn't know where question marks goes. 

My phone needed recharging and my driver was out sick. I had to call my mother and get it recharged by her. Mothers are so awesome and she didn't even take the money I gave her. As I was writing this post, I pressed my delete key on my Mac and my whole first draft was gone. I tried to find it but no luck. So I have to rewrite the post all over again from scratch. Maybe next time, I will write this in a word document and then paste it. Oh well, you learn from your mistakes.  Then after my posted my new post, I found my draft all saved nicely. So I took out the new sections and pasted them in the draft. So I deleted the other post and published my earlier draft since it much better

I think it a good place to stop for my first try. Let's see what happens next before I post again.
