Few of my friends find it very relaxing to cook. however I’ve never been a good cook and not also enjoyed particularly. So recently when my roommate had to go on office trip for few months, I decided to let our cook go and thought of cooking my self. This experience of few months has not been great. I’ve struggled to start with. Few of the times goofed up the recipes even though it was in front of me. Missed few ingredients and added some other and wrong time.
Khichadi is the simplest to make. and I’ve cooked it many a times. Few of the vegetables also I’ve tried. Toughest I think is to make Roti. I’ve still not able to make it properly. I can’t help but say that it’s simply an art. Just to make it and make it again and again.
To the ever-rising sun
There is no time, no age-
Tomorrow yesterday are one;
That which was as is to be
Doth with now as one become.
From whence we glean infinity

A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. - Albert Einstein

Sometimes it is just so much difficult to speak your mind out.
Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak is an Indian literary critic, theorist and a University Professor at Columbia University. She is best known for the monograph “Can the Subaltern Speak?”, considered a founding text of post-colonialism, and for her translation of Jacques Derrida’s Of Grammatology. She describes herself as a “practical Marxist-feminist-deconstructionist”. She is also a visiting faculty member at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences in Calcutta. Spivak is best known for her contemporary cultural and critical theories to challenge the “legacy of colonialism” and the way readers engage with literature and culture. She often focuses on the cultural texts of those who are marginalized by dominant western culture: the new immigrant, the working class, women and other “post-colonial subjects.” In March 2007, Spivak became the University Professor at the Columbia University, the only woman of color to be bestowed the University’s highest honour in its 264-year history.

Nice thought for today : The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
