Its been a week since parents shifted. I was supposed to visit kerala along with them but then I made them cancel my ticket. Since then, I have been living with my relatives and friends and will continue living with them untill one of my BFFs,Rucha, decides whether she wants to move out or not.
During this week, I have managed to surprise myself. I have become a lot more domesticated. Its official. Iam no longer the undomestic goddess. Iam on my way to become independent in every sense of the word...whoa. Its kinda miracle. Can you actually believe that these days I fix my own breakfast. I havent gotten far to cooking lunch but I will get there soon :D And moreover I do the laundry and cleaning even though there is a maid for everything. Iam an atta girl..yay! ok.... Iam not an atta girl but atleast Iam not that much a disgrace as I thought of myself to be... double yay!Now I have to convince my chef-to-be friend to give me some real cooking lessons. Hmm may be continental cuisine. At present its my cousin (younger to me by 5 years) who is giving me basic cooking lessons. At first, it was embarrassing.... err who am I kidding... Iam never embarrassed. I make a fool of myself on a daily basis and I love it...lol. Ok back to the cooking part, and today we are going to cook chinese. Btw,I even made gajar ka halwa... and it was yummy (if I may say so myself) :D.
The very first day of entering into the kitchen, I was really scared. I sent out a silent prayer to God for the safety of all the kitchen appliances. They have an ultra modern sleek kitchen here. Iam tech savvy, but when it comes to kitchen appliances, Iam really challenged. I prayed that the gas stove should be simple to use and the gas must already be turned on. You wont believe that I actually stared at it for a whole 5 minutes...lol. I mean , I had gasophobia in the past and I have burnt water,so it wont be difficult for me to burn some vessels or the entire kitchen :D. But being the atta girl that Iam (hehehe), I came out of that panic state soon and cooked without much difficulty. But then I happenned to spill water on the gas stove and because of that I couldnt turn on the stove for a while and that freaked me out. What if there is a gas leak?Nahiiiiiiiiiiiii.... of all the places, I dont want to die in a kitchen...lol.
But Iam seriously thinking of taking cooking lessons. And may be someday, I'll be able to cook a full course meal. Wow Iam transforming self to a career- oriented-independent-woman-of-substance-who-can-cook-a-mean-meal. ROFL.
Wishful thinking, eh?
