p.s.: i don't know y it's numbered like this. it's bothering me. but i'm too lazy to change it now.

Easy ,eh?Yeah Right!

I have a predicament. actually, it's more of a realization. now, if u've been following this blog for a while, u'd know that i recently *a year ago* learnt to cook ,I mean like a full fledged cook,like my Mom. Before u shudder or move on directly to the comments section and say something smart-alecky.. THAT is not the problem! the problem, however, is this. I screw up the simplest dishes. picture this: 6 people coming over for dinner. last minute notice. I can manage to cook appetizers, main course and of course, we buy the desert! *what did u think, I was superwoman!?* but the point is I usually manage to cook decently enough for whoever's eating to help themselves to seconds. and sometimes ask me how I cooked it,and trust me, I quite pride myself on such occasions! *i also brag about it to Vineeta/Mona.. whoever I find online.* I'm not overtly fond of cooking, but I manage. then, after a couple of days of eating "rich" food, when the tummy wants a simple meal. umm... I screw it up! meals as simple as daal/chawal *not the chawal, I screw up the daal(varraan)*, tomato chutney, or even the wretched boiled aloo sabzi! i can make kick-ass palak paneer, but boiled aloo ki traditional maharashtrian sabzi? oh gosh! i KNOW how to cook these. trust me, my mom and my entire family memebers who give me recipes now and then, thot that these wud be the only things i'd be cooking. *d rest of them cudn't imagine me cooking. still can't.* and there I am! proving them wrong all over again! I tried following recipes *which, has never worked for me*, I tried going with the flow and cooking it as I cook other food. naah, not working. I even tried reading mom's recipe and doing everything the same way and STILL screwed it up! what is it!? and this is supposed to be easy-to-cook, u know! i remember my aunt once saying, 'if someone's coming over unannounced for dinner, just boil those potatoes and cook it up. simplest thing to make'. *me hass a looong puppy face as i write this.* it's like "beti ko chai banaana toh aata hi hoga?" DAMN! wrong example. i can't make tea either! well, I am a coffee drinker! Also, after a while V (who is in looooooooove with "his perfect" tea) makes it himself,so that's not really an issue! but d point is, WHY are these allegedly simple dishes SO complicated for me?! and why is it that i manage perfectly well with everything that's supposedly complicated? i think Pur was right... my brains ARE in my pinkie toe! :( i wish i cud figure out how not to screw this up. either that, or how to not feel guilty when i screw it up. oh, wait! i already know that!

Plus Five

M tagged me to do the 5 things abt me... and considering she's blogged after all these months only to tag me, i shall do it. also, it indulges the vain me! :D so, here's 5 things abt me, in no particular order of importance. - i expect a lot from ppl who I'm really close to. but it's never more than what I would do for the person. it's almost always 50-50. though, the closer you are to me, the more I tend to take u for granted. sure u'll know how much you mean to me. but i expect you to u'stand when i disappear for a while... and re-emerge. i expect you to continue where we left off. and not sulk and whine. i also give you the same space. and if i do anything to upset you, i WILL make up for it. however best i can. At the same time I am creative by default.. it can be a pain in the --- for V ..because I do expect something new most of the times.. especially from him.I am ok with monotony but when I am tired its about time you start doing as I do ..which can be tiring for a person like him who does not really care about the creativity to that extend. - i believe that all of us, as humans, are extremely selfish. we evaluate pros and cons of most situations and if we think something may be detrimental for us, we avoid it. there are exceptions. but very few act out of their love for random mankind. we bother about "me and mine" mostly. and i don't think it is a wrong thing. i accept the fact that i am self-absorbed and move on. unless i manage me and my world properly, how can i think of contributing to anything larger...? - i believe relationships are very complex. and every r'ship has it's own dynamics. i don't take moral stand-points on r'ships and/or affairs anymore. i used to. till very recently. i believe i've come a long way from being a judgmental bitch to understanding that there may be hues that i neither see nor comprehend. and i leave them be. i no longer think of ppl who put themselves down for their partners as doormats. or ppl who have affairs while in a stable r'ship as bitches/bastards(Pardon the term). they have their own reasons. i simply don't judge. and i don't know how long this non-judgemental phase will last - but this is as close as i get to saintly! :D - i know that i will not lose my individuality. i used to be insecure about this. quite a bit. esp when i had just got out of BNCA. but now i'm sure. it's something that's me. it may change... it may get better or worse. but it will still, quintessentially, be me. - how patient i am about something depends directly on how beneficial that thing is to me. at least, how beneficial I perceive it to be for me. which is why i seem to lose interest in things rather soon. however, if i really want something, i can be extremely tenacious. to the point of being a pain in the backside for everybody around me. such things are rather few but these days tehy are getting to be so many taht V and I have decided that I should Stop making this "wishlist" of mine for a while, but they're absolutely worth it!
