Norway winters are the best winters I have seen. Like really. I think they are the real winters. Getting colder, darker, windier day by day, they are very much unlike summers. Everything turns to be lonely and different. More on the Norway weather later . Staying indoors is the best thing I can do on such weekends. So what's the weekend plan, you ask? Cooking I would say. Somehow I have fallen into the trap of cooking these days. Ok, I know how to cook. And that's how I have been surviving, right? But cooking those special dishes more than just for survival was not my thing. But now once I started experimenting, I think I am into it. For now, I am an amateur and try to keep my dishes as simple as possible. So here is the first one from those experiments.. direct from Pria's Kitchen ;)  Ingredients & Recipe: (This recipe is applicable for only certain kinds of fish. The one I used is Salmon ) 1. Marinate fish and keep it aside for ...

As I am craving for Sizzler today, I just remembered these pictures from few of my first ones while experimenting with my camera.   I love it more for the sizzle it makes. Sizzle-Eater  And now my hunger for sizzler is on peeks :/

So, I missed to celebrate Diwali with family one more year. This is the  4th consecutive year and it's no more fun missing family on festivals. To compensate that, I made some busy plans for this weekend like cleaning, cooking, dressing up, meeting friends with whom I got a chance to lit a sparkle that made me happy of diwali, games, good food, lots of sweets, loads of pictures and then watch Captain Phillips. Of all, cleaning was the worst part. CP is one of the best action and thriller movies I have watched recently. Expecting it to be little boring from the poster, I still wanted to watch seeing the reviews. It being the true life story with many twists and turns made it more watchable. This is the story of a Captain of a huge American cargo ship that has to be reached to Africa from Oman. Tom Hanks played it the best by being the captain who tries to save the ship and his crew while they are being hijacked by pirates while passin...

1. Last one week has been so nice. After weeks of confusion, I am relaxed with my job which means no real work for some time. Worked out as and when I had time. Met friends. Checked the things off my list. etc.. 2. I started to paint something.. something simple to start with. After days of postponement, I am finally there. 3. Is there anyone else who can't get off the songs of Ashiqui 2 and Shuddh Desi Romance? 4. I need a head to toe make-over. Its been ages I had body and face massage, manicure, pedicure and a hair cut. I miss those times. 5. I so wish I should have gone for drinks tonight. Its not a good feeling when you have to sit at home on a weekend writing your ramblings while everyone else is partying. 6. I am trying to make some special dishes on my own. I mean with no-one's nagging about it. It's a punch-on-the-face to those who say I am not a kitchen person. 7. I am being regular to yoga and zumba, my favourite activities. I am so much in love wit...

As I am moving far from my 25 and reaching 30, my birthdays are not much exciting anymore. It's not that I hate 30s but I am no more going to be in my 20s which is sad. Though 30s have their own pros and cons as 20s, I am not sure if they can give me as much fun as 20s. But I am quite sure, I am going to be more wiser wise. I still have a lot of time to reach 30 though.   Anyhoo.. It was my birthday some 10-15 days back and I wanted it to be peaceful this time. Totally. No mid-night celebrations, no wishes, no phone calls, no birthday dresses, no gifts, no parties, no dinners, no plans.. nothing.. nada. I have taken it off from my networking sites [this is a way to know your real friends ;-)].   I wished my birthday to be like any other day. Like any other working-day. Moreover I never celebrate at my work place. I have always taken off from work to celebrate with my family or friends. But this time I haven't. I planned my day busy. I filled it up with wor...

[With my favorite aunt for she gifts us a lot] Aunt: Hi Me: Hey aunt, how have you been? Aunt: I'm fine. How are you? Me: I'm fine too aunt. It's going great! *Life was much exciting then* Aunt: What are you up to? *Me trying to skip her next question* [She is the principal of a school and is as strict with us as with her students. However, she is fair and good to be an aunt.] There comes her next  un expected question. Aunt: Where have you been these days? Haven't been home in a long time. Me: Ac.. tually I have been really BUSY. Aunt: *giving me that strict-principal-look already* Me: Actually been busy with work these days. Aunt: *still with the same strict-principal-look* Hhmm.. people who say busy are those who think they are busy. But they are just busy thinking that they are busy. Me: *confused look* *Trying to arrange all the busy words correctly in her dialogue* Oh well!! @#$%^&* Are you also confused like me? Then read it again. It does m...
