Pizza.

So who said I can’t make a delicious Prawn Pizza? I can not only make one that is deliciously edible but, one that is equally good looking. And I am thinking to be a little generous and tell you guys my secret recipe. Ahh well, first you might want to take a look at my pizza. (Please pardon the ‘thing’ in which my sweet pizza is placed, that was the only thing I could find)



Anyway, so you want to make a pizza like this? Get your pencils before you read on, you won’t find such a secret elsewhere.

Step 1. Go to your nearest general/super store.
Step 2. Buy a ‘Food Mart’s’ pizza.
Step 3. Place the pizza in already hot oven for 15 min (200 degrees)
Step 4. Use the grill for a min or two.
Step 5. Take a pic before you serve.

See, that simple! So when are you going to try it out?

PS: Ahh well, yes, you guessed it right, technically I am bored and have nothing else to do.

Who they really are?

Just now, I was reading a blog of someone I know online. Not that I know this person very well but we have chatted various times from past year or two. And I was wondering how different people are in their chats and on their blogs; and perhaps in their real lives.  This raised another question, who they really are? The one I know on chat, or the one on the blog? Or perhaps neither, they are different in real life too? And this raised another question as well. That is, if I stand on the same road too? Am I different for the people who know me here and there?

To every woman who's worth a lot

Saw this on one of the discussion boards I go to, posted by Azad. I searched for it to find the original author but couldn’t, at various places it says author unknown. Anyway, it is worth a read.



In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question......

"What kind of man are you looking for?"

She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking. "Do you really want to know?"

Reluctantly, he said, "Yes."

She began to expound... As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man. I am in the position to ask, "What can you bring to the table?"

The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money. I need something more." I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life.

He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.

She said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man. I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster. I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden. I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded. I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself." When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face.

He said, "You're asking a lot."

She replied, "I'm worth a lot."

Accessories Malfunction Ranting Blog.

I guess soon I will need to start another blog about the things that stop working for me. As they do that quite often.

Yes you guessed it right, its my switch this time and I had to move to another room with my PC and I am sitting on floor here in order to use the net (yes I am addicted).  Anyway, lets see, my cable provider promised he will replace it tomorrow.

Random Notes.


  • It’s funny that whenever you need something it will stop working. For example I will always find my A.C. not working when the summer starts – or like today, just before the winter is approaching I found my geyser had a leak.

  • Not having basic knowledge about various things can be so annoying at times. Yesterday when I went at friends place my khatara (car) wouldn’t start, it was taking self but to no avail. I left it there for the night, today when I went there with a mechanic, he asked me to give it a self, I did, he said “Okay hold on”. He grabbed this little wire (which apparently had slipped out of somewhere) and placed it where it belonged. 10 seconds I tell ya… just 10 seconds and that is all what was needed.

  • Khurram had an accident today, his shoulder bone misplaced from the joint. Three weeks bed rest with arm and shoulder wrapped up in bandages on his chest, and is allowed no movement. Hope he gets well soon.

  • I never thought I will be this much disliked among some, that they will explicitly say they don’t want to be there where I will be – so I backed off. If I am loveable for some, I am equally hateable for others.

  • It’s often difficult to communicate with your folks. I usually end up with almost no speech at all.

  • The things I am worried about are still un-resolved. So yes, apparently that means I will still be worried.

Trustworthy Computers.

So there was a power surge that caused my computer to restart, and when it did, my bookmarks were gone. That included many entry point/sign in addresses of the different blogs/boards I go to and a lot of blog addresses that are not yet listed in my blog.

Errrrr...

Edit: And I just noticed, Blogger’s plug in is missing from my MS Word too *mad*

Intruders continued.

If you remember around two months back there was an intruder in my room, this time there was one in my washroom. And this, my dear friends, was bigger, smarter and uglier *yukh*.

I knew it was beyond my abilities to fight this creature alone so I allied with a fellow brave warrior (my dear mom) …ohh okay, well, not so brave :p. So we teamed up, made a plan, set up the logistics and weapons (wiper, ‘jharo’, sticks, mortein sprays, etc) and initiated an attack. There were a lot of screams, jumping, running and what not, but after an hour’s struggle we were finally able to threw it out of our territory *hurraaayyyyyy*

Here is a picture of our enemy before the war started.
