Mulligatany soup

Yesterday I had some people over for dinner, decided to make Mulligatany soup. My favourite and my mom's speciality.
Being the first time I was making it and also having my boss over for dinner you could say I was a bit nervous.
Mom must have got about 10 calls from me, during the course of making the soup.

"Ma, what do you mean the oil will seperate"
"Now how much salt do I put in"
"Its been cooking for 10 min, do you think its done"

But all came out well and every one really liked it. And it was when I saw every one sitting around my house, eating dinner, soft music in the background I realized I am on my way to growing up.

I guess this past year has been a major learning experience for me. Slowly becoming independent, understanding the value for money, appreciating every thing my parents have done for me.
And now I understand what my parents have been trying to tell me.

I now understand why "my coolest" cousin had to go tell my parents what I was doing. Not because they hated me, but it was because they loved me too much.

Its funny, cos even tho I am far away from mom and dad I think this past year has been the time I have become closest to them. The fact that I love calling them and telling them every detail about my life in Kodai, makes me realize that I never spoke to them as much earlier.

Forgive me if I dont make sense right now, but there are alot of emotions runnning thru me right now.

But coming back to growing up. Life is no longer about partying the night away, but more about spending quality time with people who are genuine. Yeah I miss the Delhi night life, but its not life.

This year was my first birthday away from home. Tradition at home is to open birthday gifts in my grandma's room with the whole family around.

But thats what growing up is about, starting new traditions. I woke up on my birthday alone, but it was in my house. Lay in bed listening to music and just enjoying some time with my self. And thought about how the past year has changed me as a person.

I dint have a major party, just few close friends, good food and alot of fun. My party ended at 10 pm (shocking isnt it)
But it was one of the best!

Oh god another one

Heres a fwd I tweaked a bit. Enjoy

What type are you?
Learn Something About Yourself. Don't look at the answers at the bottom. Do the test first. This one's a little different everyone.

Okay,first get a piece of paper and label it from 1-10. Now remember, you need to take serious thought into these questions!

1. What is your favorite out of these three?
a. cat (you like cats)
b. bird (you like birds)
c. dog (you like dogs)

2. What is your favorite color?
a. pink (if your a girl ur cool, if ur a guy ur gay)
b. white (your a ghost)
c. black (your a vampire)

3. Name a person of the same sex. (they really wish you would get a life)

4. Name a person of the opposite sex. (Ha ha got you, you thought this person is your true love, wrong - they will hate you for the rest of your pitiful life)

5. Do you like the mountains or the beach better? (doesn't make a difference now does it, since you spend your complete existence sending stupid forwards to people)

6. Do you like to watch the sunrise or the sunset? (same reason as above)

7. What's your favorite number from 1-10? (thats the number of people who will kill you after you send them this stupid forward)

8. What is your favorite plant?
a. red rose (it will die in your care)
b. fern (it will die in your care)
c. a dead one (wow it just died thinking of you)

8. Make two wishes

NONE OF THEM WILL COME TRUE !!!!!

Jeez

This number is a lucky number *-+963/*-+96369/*~~~.
It actually works.
You'll get good marks in ur upcoming exams if u send this to atleast 5 people. If u dare to delete it u will surely wont get good marks.
Even if u study hard, u'll forgeteverything.

Do people really believe in this stuff ????

Forwarding mania

I am so sick of getting forwards. And I am even sicker of getting these stupid forwards which predict the love of my life, the day I'll get married, the number of kids I'll have, which one of them will be a psychotic gay truck driver and whether or not I will have a painful death.
STOP IT !
I really dont care if my kid is gay psychotic truck driver or that my husband dies before me and as much as I want to know how I would die, I am not going to inflict the torture of another forward to 10 other people.

Like seriously which dumb human being would believe if that sending a fwd to 5 people will lead to good luck but sending it to 12 will lead to absoultely fantastically super dooper luck.
Yo idiot, get a life !

And to top it off they are doing it on cell phones as well. Arent we being anti social enough by staring at our computer the whole day, listening to our ipods while going home and sms'ing the night away.

Any way, coming back to the point stop sending forwards. And if you must send a forward at least make it worth the read!
Now if you copy this blog and send it to

1 person - you've just pissed off 1 people and your luck is still the same

2 people - you've just pissed off 2 people and your luck is still the same

3 people - you've just pissed off 3 people and your luck is still the same (but your hair has grown by 1 millimeter)

4 people - you've just pissed off 4 people and your luck is still the same your luck will remain the same

10 people - you've just pissed off 10 people and your luck is still the same

20 people - you will get beaten up for being such a loser !
