Shame Inspiring!

My life is quite funny! I forgot the emotions and indulged myself only to the cerebral pursuits.

Well o'well! I'm now in India, and not in Europe. What can I say! I don't love-live my life. It has been just there. Julie and Julia just slapped me in the face... All I was concerned about through it was, the IP theft and through that apprehension, I forayed into the poisonous narcism of sticking to my shell. Lets hope to not stick to it. At least that be a start! I felt shameful watching the movie through, and all through it there was an inspiration that emanated through..

I guess Nike didn't teach it after all all these years. 

Just DO IT!

We'd think later. 

Okay, enough of the heavy stuff and boring words, lets just ameliorate the situation here.

TO be honest here, I did cook through my birthday (vegetarian biryani), parent's anniversary, Mom's birthday. Parents' wedding anniversary was quite a feast. Sorab and I invited most of our friends this time with not a comprehensive list of Andrea, helpful Pravin, Shuchi, Ram, the bonding Ojaswi, super social Sangeeta mam, Ashish and his elegant wife, am i missing anybody here?

Oh yes, thespians and protagonists: Bruschetta, tomato basil and the pea mousse with some salty biscuits with a creme a`la cucumber topping - vegetable soup (courtesy Andrea) as our appetizers. Followed by a mid-meal of Pav bhaji where I likely followed Tarla Dalal's recipe. This followed by the quick Black forest cake cutting and eventually serving with the main course of vegetable biryani. Now the Veg biryani is Ashish's recipe which shall eventually find its placeholder for the next post. The deserts were our regulars of Ras malai, Ice cream, and the cake. All through this, a day to cherish.
