Keep Moving....

"It does not matter which colour swing you are choosing.
But it does matter that you keep swinging! 💃

Life is a beautiful race. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Its ok to slow down.
But its not ok to stop"

Whatever path you may take, keep moving. There is nothing called right or wrong, to each their own!
Life is a journey for everyone. Their individual journey. What is right for some may not be so for others. Don't judge. Try to empathise. Accept people as they are. But whatever you choose, at the end of the day all that matters is, if you can sleep peacefully. Be true to your heart. Embrace every human being. Nobody is born evil or cruel. Life makes them so.

Let go....

Feel Free, Feel Light. Unwanted Baggage is only going to Ruin your Sleep. Be like the bird that flies high in the sky, if its burdened like the Donkey, it may never see its flight. 

Yes, its easy to preach than to follow. But try. Forgive. Let Go. Try to keep your Emotions in Check. You may falter once or twice, but you will soon get the hang of it. Once you let go, you will only be soaring up high instead of holding on to everything and being grounded at the same place. 

What's even more important than letting go, is to keep moving. Do that! 

"Dont hold on to your worries.
Let them free!
Let go of the burden.
What is lost is lost.
But the future is still fresh.
Worrying puts you on a standstill.
Doing the right thing keeps you moving"

Take Care of 'YOU'

You are important to yourself. Don't take yourself lightly! 

Life is very uncertain, especially in these Corona Times, but at least what we have in our control we should take care of them.

In today's World, where people can get a cardiac arrest when they are as young as 36, don't you think you need to put a pause button on your life and start doing things that keep you healthy? Please stop taking your body for granted by filling it up with junk because of your so-called habits!

Think! Because you are not only responsible for you, but also for those dependent on you. You may pass away from this world, but imagine what you are leaving behind? More than grief and sorrow for your dear ones, it will  be a life long struggle and pain to survive!

Stop rushing. Stop running. Stop gobbling up your breakfast. Stop skipping meals. Stop running behind something you are not even sure of. Stop excusing yourself from exercising. Stop from being lazy. Stop brooding. Stop whining. Stop blaming. Because your soul may always be young, but it needs your body as a vessel to do things that you want. Don't wear it off too soon! Take care of yourself right now...Because only you are responsible for your life and its happenings. 

"Sometimes its 'YOU' against the 'Rest of the World'!!

No.

Its not 'Sometimes', its 'All the Time'!! 😉

So Taking care of yourself emotionally and physically is of utmost importance to brace yourself for everything the World has to offer.

Because without 'YOU' in You, nothing else exists in this world!"

Dream Catcher

Finally, it needs a quarantine time to get back to what I always wanted to do.

With no school, no schedule, no deadlines, no guests, no outings, no temples, no malls but just you and your family with loads of time - Doesn't it look like a dream come true for many?  But yes when this came true we all are praying when it will end. We can't wait to get back to our routines. Thats life. Life is always better the other side! :p

Hoping everything falls back to normal and our lives will resume track. But at the moment, lets make the most of the time doing things we always want to do. Because at least we are blessed to have our loved one near by with a stock of essentials than those who are away from family struck in different places and those people who are working on the forefront to get things back to normal. So Be Grateful and Stay Home!

I started doodling again and would love to keep them safe and what more than my blog to keep them safe. (I still ROFL reading my blog entries when I started this blogging journey 15 years back!!)

"Dreams are not just dreams.

Its a product of Hope and Emotions.

I am a Dreamer...

Yesterday, A Cuckoo Land Dreamer...

Today a Realistic Dreamer!

But, I never stopped Dreaming.

May everyone's Dreams be caught and turned to Reality! :)"

Dreams are good. Dreams are nice. We all love to dream. When I doodled this dream catcher, it immediately filled me up with such positive energy and hope along with an instant smile!

Did you know that Dream Catchers date many years back and was actually a sort of spider web? It was adopted by Native Americans from the Ojibwa Chippewa Tribe.

The Tribe people had a mysterious 'Spider Woman' known as Asibikaashi in their language, who would look after children and sleeping people and ward off their nightmares. When the tribe flourished and moved places, it was difficult for the Spider Woman to protect her tribe and made these spider web dream catchers. They were often hung on cradles of infants to protect them from nightmares.

The original design had eight points indicating the eight legs of the spiders and had a hole in the centre which was later made as beads to represent the spider. The beads or hole became the sacred charm to catch good dreams and pass it through the dream catcher to the person sleeping underneath and the bad dreams were entangled in the web from moving down further.

Even if the myth is not true, we all get this overwhelming tenderness when we hear about these stories that our loved ones will be protected and believe it by instinct. It is always the thought, belief and hope that counts than the truth of the actual myth. If you believe it spreads positivism all around you in an auto mode :)

Happy Doodling Everyone!! And Lets keep spreading Positivism more so at this Time!!

I Count My Blessings

Life through rose rinted glasses, 
Felt dreamy and gleamy. 
Little did I realise....
Not all that glitters is gold!
But I count my blessings, 
Because truth dawned on me.

There is only right and only wrong. 
There is nothing called inbetween. 
Yes, I learnt it the hard way. 
But I count my blessings, 
Because Im still living.

Life was a roller coaster. 
Life is a roller coaster. 
Life will be a roller coaster... 
But I count my blessings, 
Because the roller coaster has not stopped. 

Now the glasses have broken. 
The dreams have faded. 
And I have found my place, 
Where I'm alive and kicking. 
So I count my blessings, 
Because I didn't give up.

Hello From Whisk' N Creme'

Its been quite a long break from blogging. Lots have happened in the process that today I am a home baker and exploring and discovering healthy alternatives in baking.

Today I spend more time with my OTG and mixing bowls than cooking over the stove 😉. Something that started as a hobby, soon became a passion and now its something I cannot live without.

Buying an OTG for grilling was the main idea, but that ‘just for fun’ activity of baking for kids which I started with Kuzhalee, soon became an obsession and Whisk' N Creme'  🍰🎂was born. We both have of come a long way and across many orders - we are proud to say that we even have some regular customers for whose kids we have baked cakes on a regular basis.

Today we are also happy to say that we operate both in Bangalore and Chennai! So Bangalore peeps and Chennai makkals, please get to know your friendly home bakery - Whisk' N Creme'. We deliver throughout the city through third party delivery vendors and wish to keep growing higher and higher.

With people becoming overtly health conscious, we took a step to start baking with wheat and without egg. Then we experimented with powdered jaggery and used them in our cookies instead of refined white sugar. Now as an even health conscious step, we are exploring baking with different millet flour and powdered jaggery without any addition of refined flour or sugar as well as egg.

Our goal is to set a menu that has an option of completely organic bakes. Yes, there is still a long way to go 👩‍🍳🙇‍♀️. And as baby steps we have been exploring baking with millets and have mastered some recipes in that aspect.

Please keep watching this space to know about our new products from the hearth of Whisk' N Creme' and why you should buy them from us!

Bless us! Support us! So that you can eat your cake not just on occasions, but on any day without any guilt and lots of nutritional benefits. 😋😊

Never say no to cake 🤗

Pre-Wedding Madness...

1. Amma, clothes and She madness!

She: *Keeps pulling clothes one after the other from her wardrobe* Amma, I have so much clothes!!

Amma: I know. And you are not taking everything with you.

She: *Looks dismayed* Why not?

Amma:You can take them when you visit us.

She: But *Looks longingly at the wardrobe*

Amma:What? Are you not planning to pop in here once you get married?

She: *smiles sheepishly* Yeah, but I need this, this and this too Amma :(

2. Amma, shopping and she madness!

She: Amma, lets go bangle shopping

Amma: Okay

She: *Keeps adding bangles one after the other to the basket*

Amma: Remember I also got you gold and diamonds?

She: *says absently* - yeah yeah * bills it*

Amma:*Freaks at the bill*

She: But Amma, these are so cool! Puhleesseee...

Amma:: *Finally gives in*

3. Appa, footwear and she madness!

Appa:  You have 16 pairs of footwear! This is where all my money went? and still you want three more?

She: No Appa, you dont get it. I am still economical in what I got, See the first 16 pair were cheap stuff and can be worn only for occasions. But the three new ones are to be worn daily. So I need this as well as that. Makes sense right? *smiles widely*

Appa: *Rolls his eyes and exclaims that she is crazy but finally gives in*

4. Friends and she madness!

She: *Buzzes Shilpa and Abirami at 2:00 a.m* - Oye, I think I am shit scared. I cant sleep :(

Abby: *Buzzes back at 2:45 a.m* Just go sleep

She: * Buzzes at 3:00 a.m* Okay

Shilpa: *Buzzes at 10:00 a.m.* Everyone goes through this panic, you have to manage it. Just go get a massage done and relax yourself.

She: * Buzzes immediately* I know!

*In a couple of hours*

She: *Buzzed to Shilpa and Abby* Oye! I am bloody excited about this whole thing! It is going to be fantaboulous!

Abby: *Instant Buzz back* Tell me about it!

She: *Instant Buzz back* I am finally getting out of chennai! And I am soo excited about it!

Abby: *Instant Buzz back* Thats all eh!

Shilpa: *Rolls her eyes when she met her in person*  


5. Chocolate and she madness!

 45 days and still ticking with not a single bit of chocolate. Till the M&Ms freaked her out.

Chocolate: I am mad at you, so I am sneaking into your house through one Ms. Alice John and am gonna make myself irresistible.

She:  No you cant make yourself irresistible...... 

She:*Deep thought as she gets the M&Ms*  well let me just have an handful of you.

*Time to stop*

She: Just one more handful, what harm!

*Warning signals go up*

She: Just one last handful.

*Looks around guiltily and then packs the M&Ms and decides to put it way up the shelf, but on second thought keeps it for packing to ooru!*

Chocolate: *Evil Mogambo laughter* Muhahahahha! I told ya did I not!

6. Shopping and she madness:

She shopped all day and even some nights, and still the to buy list never came to an end. Resulting in piles and piles of things stacked in her room and her wondering how she is gonna pack them all and drag them all the way to chettinad in just 4 days. She has already booked (or should she say dumped them with goods) all the luggages and baggages available in the house for her use and wonders how the rest of the family are gonna pack their clothes :p

7. Scooty and she madness:

Without heed to constant warnings, she still keeps buzzing off the chennai lanes in that scooty pep of hers. And well, it still seems to put up with her. Of course, it is a 5 year long association and one which has took her through the ups and more specifically the downs in the roads of life and chennai. When the roads were bumpy, it did not give her a smooth ride. But safe she went to where she went.
