At night when the stars light up my room, I sit by myself, talking to the moon. Tonight is a very special night for me, and it's Kojagiri Pournima (Sharad Pournima as some might say). Ever since a child, year after year, we celebrate this day by sitting in the night flooded with the light of the full moon, drinking milk. Since moon is supposed to be closest to the earth on this day, the moon rays are said to have curative properties. The vessel containing the sweet is prepared and left in the moonlight to be consumed later. According to Ayurveda, the `pitta' or acidity aggravates at the end of the monsoon season. This is the reason why cooling foods are recommended to neutralise the pitta and balance it. The consumption of cold milk and rice flakes is supposed to be a good remedy for pitta. Coming back , I remember my mother would make me sit by the window,...
I have ALWAYS loved baking as long as I can remember. Baking kind of soothes me, like reading books. When I initially started the process of baking (like about a year ago), man you wouldnt even guess what I was doing in the kitchen. All of my baking outcome was a ridiculous mess. I thought I wasn't meant to bake AT ALL. But as and when I see the my refrigerator has all the ingredients needed for baking a cake, I just float towards it like a moth to a flame. I know I'm not a good baker, nor do I say I have all the qualities, but I can't unlove baking. I just can't.
There are many things in life which we cannot (yet) do, and that does not mean we should stop doing it. There are times where you suck terribly, but you still gotta appreciate that you made an effort for something that you love. Love is not what you make. Love is what you are. If you love cooking,or dancing,or whatever in the world, do it for the sake of love within you.

I'm still in the initial state of baking, and I thoroughly enjoy every bit of it. My cakes come out of the oven cracked, and yet my heart is WHOLE.
