A NEW START


Hello there you lovely people!
How's it going? To start things off, I apologise for my absence, with promises of cupcakes for all of you! To say July has been not-so-great would be an understatement. It was one month that I was very happy to say goodbye to. It was intense, there were a lot of changes and a lot of growing pains that I’m still getting used to. I had to bid goodbye to a good friend/co-worker of mine. Those who know me know that I’m pathetic when it comes to saying byes. I'm the one that awkwardly pats on the back and then turns around and forgets about the situation.

There were changes, new ideas I had to get used to. My blogging and writing and photographing inspiration had managed to play hide and seek with me. It hurt seeing the lists of posts I wanted to do, without one check next to it. I felt under-confident and all the other pessimistic emotions one can round up.

I was tired. To say the least. It was as if hope had picked me up and dropped me on the moon and then gently but firmly pushed me down. More changes and more unknown things to get used to.

Things are slowly getting back on track now. It's my birthday month after all! How can they not be. These morbid and sad emotions are locked away in a chest at the bottom of the ocean and without using lots of metaphors I can say I am better now! :) Well obviously since the streams of posts shall start again and I have lots of catching up to do! New ideas, new places to visit, new fashion and interior trends to review.

So stay tuned and see you again. – mana

FOR ONE | BANANA NUTELLA PANCAKES

*Ahem* Disclaimer: I am not addicted to Nutella. Yes, i may use it in all my recipes! And well…yes i do talk about it almost every other day. And i do really really like it. I still believe i am not addicted. So, there! I love recipes that yield one serving. Living on my own has enlightened me about the fact that there is no shame in asking the price of a single tomato or a few onions. And while all the recipes online come with family sized portions, i love when i can figure out the correct proportions to satisfy my lonesome hungry tummy.  I was in food heaven when i had tried these pancakes in Thailand. Did i mention I'd eat this every day? And thus, on a bored and sunny day, when i had not much to do but give my cat company, i decided to revisit the good ol' vacation days!  First attempt: Pancake utter fail. (Note: Never ever try and make pancakes on a burning hot stove. Just don't.) Second attempt: Hold on till i go devour these! ( Thanks to mother...

LOVING A NEW CITY #01

FIND FRIENDS.  Moving to a new city is substantially less scary when you have a friend along. Obviously, it does not take away the frustrating running around, but it does make things a whole lot easier. You'd want a friend when a broker calls you at a random hour to a random location, you'd need someone when your house floods because someone left the tap on and you'd especially need someone when you just want to laugh at a funny-annoying situation. It could be that one friend that moves in with you, or just someone you met at work..try and keep people closer when you're in a new city. I moved to Bombay along with a lot of other students from my batch. With everyone as lost as i was, it was easier to navigate things. I could not imagine getting used to the city on my own. I'd probably slip down the station stairs and no one would notice. (a long running inside joke with my first friend in Bombay!). So thank you those few first friends in Bombay and in Del...

A SILENT SCREAM

It's not easy to talk about something you aren't even sure exists. It's also not easy to talk about something that makes you different from others and in so many ways almost identical to them.  Sweaty palms, that sinking feeling in your heart, the panic that rises in your stomach and the fear that things will always go wrong no matter what. There isn't one name to this problem. I'm not really beating about the bush, nor am i wanting to name it outright. I've been through depression before. It could be the same this time, or completely different. i can't snap out of it. No matter how hard i try and no matter how many times i tell myself its going to be okay. It's like a living being that sits in my stomach and waits and waits.  I panic. I scream in my head sometimes and i just want to sit in absolute silence on most days.  I cope through it through food and through long spells of couch therapy. It's not really coping i guess…more li...
