Started my new Blog

Today I started a new blog here on Blog spot "Techie Techie". I will be posting there about technical stuffs that I learn everyday.

Cooking Experiments

Yesterday we wanted to do some experiments on cooking. So we decided to make "jagar ka halwa". We bought 750 grams of carrot, one liter of full cream milk, 500 grams of sugar and some cardamom, We washed and shredded the carrots first, then poured one liter of milk in a cooker and added the carrot to it ans started boiling with regular stirring, slowly as the mixture started getting think, we added the sugar and cardamom powder and then stirred continuously for half and hour. We kept stirring till the mixture became very thick with no milk left over. We had enough halwa to serve at least 20 people.


In addition to halwa, we also made rotis and Paneer butter masala.

How To Be Creative

Yesterday I was just reading through this book "How to be creative" by MacLeod. Thought I have not finished reading that book, I would say that it is worth reading. It not just talks about being creative, But more about things that prevent you from doing so and the things that frustrate you in your daily life.
While reading that book, I felt that many things that I feel are part of everyone 's life. When I first joined my company, I was very enthusiastic, I used to take up more and more challenging things and do it my own way - "I was Creative". But as time went on, my way of thinking changed, I want to do things the way others will accept it. I refrain from doing things that are drastically different from the normal. Now I am not creative, I just want to do things the way others think. I was frustrated about it. The book gave me the encouragement to do things my own way.
This is an excerpt from the book

"It was so liberating not to have to be thinking about all
that, for a change.
It was so liberating to be doing something that didnʼt have to impress anybody, for a change.
It was so liberating to have something that belonged just to me and no one else, for a
change.
It was so liberating to feel complete sovereignty, for a change. To feel complete freedom, for
a change.
And of course, it was then, and only then, that the outside world started paying attention."

Happy Reading.....

Same old weekend, Do i have Dejavu??

It was the same old weekend that I used to have 6 months back. Got to spend some quality time with by best friends. Also, started the habit of reading books. On Saturday I had to go to office for a while to prepare for the knowledge transfer of one module as now I have been assigned to a new research project for two weeks. Today, we were planning to go to wonder la, but unfortunately, that plan had to be canceled. I also watched a movie called "Hitman" it was nice. Finally, ended the weekend with a nice long walk with my room mates.
