Yes, I did it.

"You cannot cook! Don't blame me when your mother in law complains! I tried teaching you! You don't want to learn! I have given up on you! Just a couple more months! I'll cook in this house till your next birthday! After that, you're on your own! Your dad too. Nobody helps he around here. I'm sick of being the maid servant of this house!"

(That's my mom.)

*Grumpy voice* No, I'm almost done. I don't need any help.
(That's my mom when she is in ANY stage of the cooking process.)


Yeah, big deal. She cooked once. I cook everyday. Don't fuss over her too much. You spoil her.
(That's her when I cook when she is at home)


Why don't you cook for me too. Even I want to put up my feet. You be me for a change. Why do you have to cook only when I am away?
(That's her when I cook when she is not around)


It is a lose-lose-lose-lose situation. Don't get me wrong. I love my mom and I love her food. Also, I definetly cannot do even a half of how much she does!

But every once in a while I like to prove to myself that push comes to shove, I can manage a house. Well, the cooking bit atleast.

So this weekend, I cooked. I soaked stuff and made dosas in the morning. I have never made them from scratch before.They came out fluffy and nice, I must say! =) In the afternoon I made curry, and daal (again a first) and rice. They were pretty decent as well.

I need a book by  my side, yes. But I can cook. It's not some exam. I don't need to know everything by heart.

I'm proud of myself.

As I was thinking...

Life is so interesting. You could make a movie out of it. I mean if you detach your emotions from your life for a while, it is pretty interesting.

Well, atleast mine is.

Lots of things have been happening.

I have meet people who I find interesting. I want to get to know them more. So much more. I have stopped classifying people as nice or not. Because a someone who is not so nice may not necessarily be rude. Everyone does something for a reason. So if you judge them, there is no guarantee that your judgement is right.

I am very happy with my friend circle now. My classmates are my friends as well. There's a difference. One that matters. We are all really grateful for each other. We're so glad we found one another. We have such an awesome bond. We said a 25 mnute goodbye over the weekend the other day. Which sometimes makes me wonder how our final goodbyes will be...

Experiences have taught me things. I'm not saying I won't make the same mistake again. But next time, I'll know if the mistake was worth the pain. Some memories leave scars. Hurtful ones. But again, that doesn't stop newer happier memories. Just because the old ones don't go away doesn't mean new ones shouldn't form.

Hardwork pays. Whatever said and done, it does. I hate talking about exams. When a couple of friends were talking about exams, I closed my ears and yelled at them to stop. I do that always. But then I realized that I was ostrich-ing. Just by not talking about exams, they wouldn't disappear!!

Random fact: I don't like the word fag.

BIRTHDAY- 1

New year.

It was good. ALWAYS.There were about two weeks of Christmas holidays. Plus my birthday comes within a week of new years. So from mid Dec to mid Jan, I'd be pretty much content and happy and high on happiness. Happy times.

But now, engineering. Weird timetables. There are EXAMS on new year and Xmas. I'm all tensed out. I am looking forward for days to pass by. I haven't made my list of resolutions, nor have I made my end-of-year nostalgic diary entry. Which totally sucks.

Now, as I was studying physics, I was thinking.
I cannot let my eighteenth pass by just like that. It is, after all, my EIGHTEENTH.

So, birthday party. Of course there were chocolates and treats and dinners. But I haven't had a cake cutting party since I was 10. That's eight years ago! (I KNOWWW)
Plus, there isn't school/college on my birthday. We're having holidays. Another first.
I want a party now. I'm excited. Very.

Any ideas? The group is going to be quite 'mixed' because I'm in pretty different circles. Any ideas? How to make it MORE fun than it is in my head right now??

Tell me. ASAP.

Coz I need to plan it out. It's practically gonna be JUST after exams.

*runs off to order cake*
