CARRY THE BREAKFAST ON

We’ve been reading in our textbooks, since forever, that breakfast is the most important meal of our day. But in the hustle and bustle of our daily life we give least importance to it, don’t we? Early mornings are the busiest parts of our days. Does the clock secretly gain speed in the early morning hours? Well, quite a theory to work on! But for now, we are to focus more on finding the time to eat the breakfast because admit it or not, breakfast does give us the energy to work during the entire day. It is more like a fuel that gives a kick start to the engine and makes us run efficiently. If we cannot find time at home to make and eat breakfasts, we can find breakfasts that are quite easy to make and carry, and can be eaten on way to work. Checkout this list:

 •Oats: Oats are healthy as well as easy to make. You can feel an empty jar (of butter or jam) with the overnight oats and carry it on way. You can eat this delicious as well as fulfilling breakfast and not worry about the morning rush.

•Omelets: Omelets take only around 5 minutes to get prepared. Although, I’m talking about the basic omelets here with salt and limited spices, but then omelets don’t require a lot of stuffs to taste good. A lot of breakfast places in delhi also serve omelet recipes which is portable enough.

•Vada: If you don’t find time, not even few minutes to make a recipe, carry a vada. This famous and portable dish is served at a number of breakfast places in mumbai, as it is a specialty there.


With so many easy-to-carry meals, why stay hungry!

Whatever kind of cuisine you might be looking for, you will most definitely find a truly delectable specimen at Bangalore!

1.In a large pot, fill water, add some salt, and bring to a boil. Add pasta, cook for 10-15 minutes, then drain.
2.Heat a pan on the stove, and melt 3 tbsp butter. Follow that up by sautéing some onions in the butter.
3.Next, what you’ve got to do is add 1 tbsp flour into the butter, and make sure it doesn’t lump (so stir constantly).
4.Simultaneously, also throw in 1 tbsp garlic powder for that garlic taste we all love in our pastas!
5.Now it’s time to get that pasta just the right amount of creamy! You’ve got to slowly stir in a cup of skimmed milk.
6.Grate some cheese, and throw in as much as you’d like, depending on how creamy and cheesy you want your pasta to be.
7.Now is the time to add some veggies, if you’d like. Make sure they look for about 5 minutes.
8.As always, the best is saved for the last! Add chunks of smoked salmon, and cook for a couple more minutes.

A rainy day made perfect

A rainy day made perfect

Hanging out with my friends is the best stress-buster I know of, especially after a totally busted week at work. So, when the vagaries of a certain week turned out just too much for my sanity, I decided to rest my overworked mind by doing what I do best--watching a super-funny movie with my equally funny friends.

It was a Friday night and as I had expected, the world could not wait to party. With the roads jammed and zero probability of making it on time for the movie, I doubted there could have been a worse end to my week. Now remember, whenever you think this way, the universe would always surprise you with its evil plotting. Out of nowhere, it started raining cats and dogs marking the end of my patience level. I pulled out the keys from my moving-at-a-snail’s-speed car and put on the emergency lights. I realized that the best restaurant in Vasant Kunj was just a few blocks away and even though I dislike stepping outside of my comfort zone, I could not have cared less at the moment.

It was mostly empty when I entered and found myself a suitable corner. I ordered a chicken burger loaded with extra cheese along with a large glass of chocolate smoothie. The burger was absolute scrumptious and the smoothie more than perfect. Unaffected by the mayhem the weather caused outside, I took pleasure in each bite of the best burger I had ever had. That place undoubtedly serves the best burgers in Delhi. It is uncanny how a nice meal could give a horrible day a perfect ending. By the time I finished my dinner, the rain had turned into a soothing drizzle and the traffic too had been cleared out.

I reached home later than my usual time, and was pampered with a large cup of hot and tasty tea clubbed together with my mother’s love. You say, could my day have ended on a better note?
