"One of the believers" - DNA story

Blessed are those who believe before there was any evidence.
I am in the Innovation in Science and Engineering Class and Watching the Life Story (The Race for the Double Helix).
On a side note, miss dreaming about Paris. Ah, how I wish to go see Paris!
(Rosalind Franklin was a Parisian!)

Going to Oregon

Well, yes. I will be moving to Oregon, U.S in a few months. Leaving Pittsburgh. I am super happy to be leaving this city, but at the same time, it makes me sad to think about a life where I am not exposed to a constant source of inspiration all day, all the time. In that course, I was looking for some universities out there. But let's see. I would do almost anything to study at Reed College, but well...there are many problems. Its a residential program. It is a undergrad program. (Not that I have a problem pursuing another undergrad degree.) I really really want a liberal art or anthropology degree. I am trying to decide. Well, let me rephrase. I really don't need a degree. I just want to be learn the discipline and be around the people. Okay, off to a class. I'll get back to you on all the things I want to learn. :)

Okay, I am back this time (for real)

I know I made some promises about writing a blog post everyday. That obviously didn't happen. But I am back this time, for good. Especially because I have so much to say and so many wonderful things that I get to do and see in the most awesomest place in the world, that I am at. So, this time around, I don't have any shortage of stuff to write about...it is just the lack of time. But man, I want to remember every second of this experience and not let go of it. Forever. So yes. Expect to hear a lot from me. There is a lot of catch up on. I am almost a completely different person. Ummm, well...may be not. I'll let you be the judge of that.

Start of the end of the end.

I am back. And I won't say anything more.

I've decided to write something new each day, which means I would need to do something new each day..
Seems like a lofty goal ?
I think I would need such dramatic steps to revive what's left of me.
I guess I am a bit rusty on the writing.
At this moment, I am rusty on a lot of things.
Here's hoping to change that.
With all the love in the world..<3
Signing off..Peace out.

Cloud watching!

I am a cloud watcher. I have always been. I love looking at the clouds drift by - the dark gloomy ones and the happy milky white ones. Tonight, particularly, the skies are incredible. Sky is so low, that I feel I can enwrap it in my hands.
The moon is shining bright, with an almost silver sheen. The clouds are drifting by- so fast, that gazing at them, makes me lose a sense of the current and the now.
Everytime, the clouds wash over the glistening moon, there is a brilliant halo all around it. The sky is a potpourri of colors, ranging from the deepest black, blues to deep purples to bright orange hues. Wow. I wish I could cloud-watch forever! And wishfully, in a vast open land, where skies and the land almost merge into one. :)
Speaking of which, I have been recently bit by gardening bug. I want to have fresh produce and herbs at my disposal. So, I went ahead and bought seeds worth an amount of money, that could positively freak my parents out. I am waiting for the package to arrive. P.S. I have no clue about gardening or sowing seeds. Lets see, how this turns out. I am quite excited about it. :) :)

I dont mean to brag, but honestly....I am a genious!!

:)
Yes, I think I am. And I might be blessed with major Nigella potential.
It is middle of the night and I was hungry. So, I made risotto.
These are the measurements of one portion, made with the rice left over.. And it is super quick, ready in flat 10 minutes.
Here is the recipie:
Crush 3 garlic pods, few pepper corns [about 10] and a bit of nutmeg [very very little] together in a mortar and pestle. In a pan, take a bit of olive oil, about a tea spoon. Add a bay leaf, a pinch of dried oregano, dried basil and a hint of dried rosemary. Add the pepper and garlic mixture, one square inch of cheese, and some grated parmesan. Add about a cup of milk, 2 spoons of flour, and let it cook till the flour loses raw smell. Add cooked rice, Switch off the heat in 2 minutes. Add salt as needed. Add fresh basil and voila!!!

The only problem is I am not as much an eating person as a cooking person. I wish my sister were here !!

Kyaa swaad hai zindagi kaa !!

My sister asked me to see the new Cadbury Diwali ad. This one..

And these ads came to my mind, I wont say a word, I'll let these incredible ads speak for themselves.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
