It's all about you, and only you after all ...

Yes, cooking is my passion and my stress buster and my escape route too, but I am not all about food only. I have different sides to me as well, really!

People think that since am chubby (not fat mind you, well maybe to some people) I already have this natural instinct towards food and anything related to food. And eating.
And then, there are people who think, that maybe I cook (And eat it too!) and design these cakes and all the other desserts, thats why I just can't seem to say goodbye to my curves. There! the greatest mysteries of all times, solved, by THESE genius people... clap clap!!

But, I would be lying if I told you that statements such as these don't bother me. Yes, they do! A pretty lot!!! How would an item number performer feel if people told her/him that no doubt you sleep your way around here to get to the top or to just perform?! Ouch, too harsh and judgemental don't you think?

But the fact of the matter is, our world is too judgemental. And that, is not gonna change. The only thing that can change is, you. Not literally of course. A change in attitude, a change in the way you think, and react. A change in the way you dress, treat others, laugh, smile, cry... the list is endless!! Maybe then, comments and people like these won't affect or bother you. It's your life, you have the right to treat and live it the way you want. If you want to spend your life by tasting all the beautiful cuisines of the world, who am I to say anything?!

People are judged for marrying too early, for staying single too long, for having too many babies, for having no baby, for being fat, for being thin, for being dorky, for being too outlandish. Face it, you will be judged, no matter who you are...how you are...no matter what.

If only, the internet had an emoticon for the middle finger, sigh, life would have been much more easier ;)

And all of this being judged and all, makes me angry, and anger makes me hungry. See people!! Do you see what you have done here? And nothing soothes me and calms me like a good jar of Nutella !! (ya ya go ahead, judge me here too, have you not been reading all the above crap that I wrote?!?!)

But yes, a tall glass of chilled Mohito, with an add-on, also works just fine. And that too with all the heat in Mumbai, this definitely more than works for me. And seriously, how can I sign off without writing down one more recipe ?!? Weird....

Just make some sugar syrup and keep in the freezer for it to chill. Add around half a cup of this sugar syrup over chopped strawberries. Keep the strawberry bowl aside for it to juice up. Roughly chop fresh mint leaves. Chop up some lemon slices. Buy some chilled Sprite or Seven up. In a tall, really tall glass, add strawberry pcs and the mint and the lemon slices. Squeeze in lemon juice, add in the strawberry syrup and if u want it more sweet add the chilled sugar syrup. Lastly pour the chilled sprite or seven up! Thats it, Sip Up ...

Happy Judging, err I meant, eating :)
