When waste basket becomes a treasure

I heard the most amusing story of the lifetime from my brother. I didn't  knew how to respond when he said this to me. My brother bought a PS2, I am guessing one year back. He bought a second-hand one since he just got a new job and belonging to a country like India playing video games for more than half an hour will be a  crime. Upsetting Indian parents are so easy in my opinion. Playing games for few hours, sitting ideally on the sofa in the evenings, chatting on the phone for half an hour or less, even not taking a bath in the early morning can upset Indian parents.  So we didn't know how exactly we were gonna use it. He bought it while I was away from home with his friend. So when he came back I realised, he didn't bring two joysticks. So we had to play it separately. It was a huge loss.But as I already guessed, we used it to the least. Few days back, bro asked me if I could play with him fifa14. I was like, yeah why not but we don't have two joysticks. H

Carrot Halwa

One of my goal for this vacation is to learn cooking and eat a lot. Yesterday was one of that day to achieve my goal. I cooked carrot halwa. I didn't take any help from my mom except asking her to find cardamom powder and wash plate. It took me around one hour or more to cook the dessert. It wasn't a flop, everyone enjoyed every bit of it. Even I liked the taste. I prepared this in the evening so lighting wasn't good, hence I used candy camera to take the photo. If you liked how it looks, scroll down to see for the recipe. Keep in mind- I am not a professional cook nor do I cook daily. These are my experiments so you can make slight adjustments as you wish. INGREDIENTS Carrot (I prepared for 4) Ghee 1-2 tablespoon Milk Sugar  Cardamom powder Raisin  Cashew PREPARATION Heat the nonstick pan and add ghee to it. As the ghee get heated add grated carrot to it.  Mix it well. keep the flame in medium and cook for 20 -25 mins.  Stir int

After coming home I have been busy. Ate so much. Mom said I lost weight and she is feeding me all the time, now I can't remember how hunger feels like, today I didn't do anything in particular. I woke up, had breakfast, went through many interior designing software, visited my new home under renovation and went with mom to rectify some issues in her office. But that evening I was home alone and was  left with nothing much to do. I was going through youtube. I have a weird habit of playing movies in background and browsing. I didn't have any movie in particular in my mind. Last time when I was back home for vacation, I remember seeing a movie named Kireedam. And also remember me crying through the entire span of the movie. With this hangover, I saw the second part thinking at least that will have a better ending. man! I  was bloody damn wrong. I even cold after watching that. My dad came home seeing me cry badly that day. I wanted to watch it one more time. that would b

Back to home for 3 weeks

As u can guess from the title, I am back home after approx 4 months. U people have no idea how happy I feel about being back at home. Most of u might think I am crazy being homesick for not being home for few months. But I felt crazy depressed for not being home for that long. There are few reasons why I felt the way I did. I usually run back home every 2 months. But this time, it didn't happen bcoz of the back to back exams. I gave my external exam which was so stressful for me and lot of us, due to lack of study holidays that we got bcoz of our never-ending practical works. I gave 3 theory exams and 6 practical exams, so relieved that it got over now. It's super cold in Karnataka, but couldn't enjoy a bit of it. So this time, coming home was so exciting since we were having hard time in college and hostel.  I planned to write the post while traveling, and to be honest it went well till my last guy friend got out. After seeing him off I went to update my post realising I
