Long Time

Hi Everyone

Sorry for not writing for a really long time now. The whole of last month went in re-locating and getting used to a new city (Chennai). Found a new job there and so decided to move. I've not found time for anything except fixing a quick meal and doing laundry outside work. But I promise to work out a schedule and post a few new recipes soon

Sumi :)

Obama Called Kamala Harris Beautiful. So What?

-
Recently at a fund raising lunch while introducing the US Attorney general, President Obama called her by far the best looking law-maker of the country. The remark resulted in a huge outcry in the social blogging site, Twitter. And following that Obama called up Kamala Harris to apologise for his sexist remark. Sexist remark? really? Yes, commenting on a woman's personal appearance in a professional environment is a big no-no. But then, it is not like he made a derogatory remark. Apparently, the same day, in an interview, Mrs O made a slip-up and called herself a single mother.

It is not cocky when a Shah Rukh Khan or Saif Ali Khan does it while introducing their co-stars on stage at the many award shows they host! Nor is it considered to be sexist when TV show hosts use similar adjectives to introduce ...

According to the report, a lot of them turn to artificial methods of conception like IVF (in vitro fertilization) as their biological clocks have slowed down making it difficult for them to conceive. But is waiting till you are forty to have a baby a good idea? Don't label me to be conservative when I say this, but I think women should start planning to have babies by the time they hit mid-thirties or not have a child at all. Before you point out and say- easy for you to say this- you don't have a baby as yet, how do you know what you're talking about; let me tell you about a close family friend who has undergone innumerable treatments trying to conceive and has been unsuccessful till now. She tells me how painful it can be. The injections and medication leave her with very little energy ...

Ways to Change Yourself for the Better

-
Sometimes, we get too caught up in life's mundane routine so much that we let many opportunities to change it for the better slip by. And by the time we realise that, we are already caught up in a web of spouse, kids, job, gym, chores. Make sure you do have your share of fun along the way and that you don't miss out on other important/interesting things/ people life has to offer on the side. Try these big/small changes at least once and see how that goes. Try a new vocation

- switch jobs, apprentice/ intern for a different role. Take a long vacation- within the country, outside the country- the choices are endless 

Start saving small

- for travel, for a music class, or for that car you've always dreamt of owning. Spend more time with your loved ones

- because you can never have enough of it Talk positively to yourself- I am rich, I have great hair, I am a successful musician, dancer... say positive reinforcing things to yourself. It will give your confidence a bo...
