Philanthropy

Recently realized both ASHA and AID are both celebrating Twenty years of inception this year. I found that a very interesting fact. There must have been a reason for the surge of philanthropy at that time 20years back for such a coincidence? I will be attending their annual conference this weekend. Kind of excited. There will be people there who have given up challenging/interesting/lucrative jobs to dedicate their time to helping others.

Flattery

There are three people in my company whom I love passing by. Like today morning - I'd just flashed my ID card at the door to enter when one of them opens it from the other side and says "This must be my lucky day"! Best start possible! I know he must be saying similar stuff to a ton of others, but it matters not a bit. And the compliments they have for my smile - always make me smile more :)
Anyway, me thinks flattery is a very nice thing. A pleasantry  to make someone's day that bit more brighter :)

Update on Yumm

Made it! Actually combined two recipes - Potato Gratin and Kaesespaetzle. Was good. Very. Even if I say so myself.

Can't see the Spaetzle in the pic, but its in there..

Yummm

For a while now my browsing online has been liberally dosed with food blogs. The photos are so good, at times I have sat craving for said food. So after a lot of these episodes, I have decided to actually start cooking/baking/making some of these recipes. And I'd love to have people taste what I end up making. So don't forget to check in on me, I just might be cooking up something yummy!

Will start with potato gratin. Can't go wrong with potatoes and roasted cheese, right?

Loving Summer!

I'm going stir crazy here sitting in my cube, gazing longingly at the golden outdoors every so often! And my camera! It has opened up this beautiful other world for me!! Everything looks so good through the lens! Even mundane things like a book lying on my bed. Need to go exploring with it soon.

Dear Gods, take pity on me and put me an outdoors job I'd love to do!
