Connecting with the wild..

I was in my garden, on my phone, chatting with my friend about some unimportant stuff. Then I witnessed a shadow of a strange creature. For a moment, I thought maybe it's one of my cats then I went closer and saw a puppy eating all the leftover food from my cat's bowl. The puppy's bones were visible through her skin, she was totally undernourished. As soon as she saw me, she ran away. I knew she came inside from the vacant cornor of the gate, one can imagine how thin she was. I tried to follow her but she was so scared and just disappeared in seconds. Dogs are known for their friendly nature. They don't shy away when they see a human being. But this puppy was so afraid of a human touch that she would hide away or run away from us. This showed the kind of treatment she got from the people she ever met. Everytime I think about it, my heart breaks. I swore to myself, to help this puppy become healthy and happy. My neighbours don't feed stray dogs. They believe these

A new creation..

Somebody recently asked me "what would you give up, cheese or chocolates?" I said cheese instantly. Sorry cheese lovers. I've admitted it before and I'll admit it again, I'm obsessed with chocolates. They're a blessing for people like me. It can set everything right. So, yesterday I made something that I've been waiting for a long time. Since I have my non-stick cake tin now, I can make no bake cakes easily, without any hassle. Anyway, this recipe became one of my favorites ever. It only involves 3 basic steps, the first is making of the rich chocolate sauce, which is used for coating the biscuits, then assembling the cake & decorating it. The chocolate sauce:- Take a saucepan, put 7-8 cubes of butter, sieve in 55 gms of cocoa powder, 190 gms of powdered sugar. Now add 250 ml of full fat milk. You can replace milk with water if you want. But it tastes better with milk in my opinion, forget about the calories just care about the outcome. Now switch

A big change

Someone wise once said "key to a happy life is good, nutritious food and exercise" . Well, let me tell you something, whoever said this is goddamn right! I actually feel a lot happier than before. I feel positive and active all day long. I don't doze off in a boring lecture or just pretend to listen. I'm literally gaining something out of those lectures. Overall I feel good and healthy. There was a time when I used to put multiple alarms, swore to myself that I will get up early at any cost. But I knew I was just kidding myself. I knew tomorrow, as soon as the alarm bell rings, I'll switch it off. I lied and cheated myself over and over again. I lied to myself about a lot of things. Now lying is a sin, we all know that but we lie to ourselves without even being aware of it. The moment you say "I'll start exercising from tomorrow" or "just a sliver of a cake, I won't eat it all", ALL LIES!! Because you know there's another excuse
