Camera, Finally.

I bought a camera. Strangely, I had bought an SD card on thanksgiving, a charger along with batteries on christmas sale and finally bought a Canon A540 during post christmas sale. Exact opposte of what normal people do :)

What you can see above is one of the first arbit art shots I have taken with my cam.

Note to self: The Arbit ART days are back!! Horray

Come over for dinner, baby

So, my friend's friend's boyfriend was coming over here to have dinner from some random insignificant speck in the universe. So, my friend's over-enthu friends had arranged a "candle light dinner" with real candles. They even arragned flowers in a heart shape and done some major decorations to their apartment just to make the moment "special" for the "re-uniting" couples.
My friend who witnessed this "spectacular" incident came home and narrated it to us. So we suggested that he invite his pakistani crush over to dinner and we could "help" him with arranging it.

The small difference is that it will be moonlight dinner, with authentic Indian food, in the behest of every single person in our apartment complex instead of a private "candle light" dinner.

How? if you ask, here it is
1. She will come over
2. We would have forgotten that she will be coming over
3. We declare a state of panic and locate a Maggi packet(Indian food) and start cooking it
Then
4. Bulldoze all the "magazines" off the dining table and make place for food
5. Try to make candles out of a paper roll
6. Light the newly invented candles . In the mean time, the maggi will be done.
and then,
7. Our newly invented candles will catch fire, triggering the fire alarm forcing everyone in the apartment complex to come out.
8. Thus we will have our sweet couple eating over cooked maggi directly from the frying pan siting hand in hand on the streets staring at the moon, air-conditioned at 0 deg Centigrades!

How romantic!

Note to self: The magic persists but the feeling?

Stupid Cooking tips - 3

Most people have "common sense". For the rest of us, there are technical specifications on each product, which mentions the temperature range in which the product can operate. For instance, sealable plastic bags, have the temperature range mentioned on the box. If you choose to ignore it and pour something directly from the hot frying pan into the cover, it will melt. I learnt this the hard way.

Secondly, do not try to lift heavy objects when you have soap all over your hands. This will make the object, like a rice cooker bounce on the floor. Though it is a nice experiment to measure the elasticity of the cooker, it is not a good for the coil's health.

Lastly, do not place anything toxic/inedible in the cupboard right above the cooking stove. You never know what will fall into your dish and instead of eating Gulab Jamoon, you may end up eating gum laced, soap flavored jamoon with a dash of insect repellent and ant bait for taste.
