Even Past can be the Present

The wings of butterflies fluttered,
just like her eyes battered,
as tunes hummed itself,
vibrating the vocal cords.

Synthetic lens altered its colour weird,
yet difference in iris bothered me not,
for the language of her pupils,
spoke but only truth in innocence.

As the tunes hummed itself,
vibrating the vocal cords,
letting the flow of chemicals,
rush through and control.

For the language of her pupils,
spoke but only truth in innocence,
it lingered like mist though time,
in each and every vessel of mine.

For those were the days,
all the questions unanswered,
all the confessions unreciprocated,
all the love unrequited.

Just a small lesson learnt

Just an observation: When you feel like you have lost all hopes in life, just pause and look around for a moment, you will see similarities in the daily lives of others around you facing dilemmas almost like yours(not necessarily the same field or the same magnitude but at least symbolically). You will realize that the answers you are looking for and the hope you need is in the very environment of yours. Life is always teaching us, it only depends on our interest and capability to learn, accept and apply the knowledge projected. The people who fail to see the special guidance around tend to end up unhappy..... Oh, another thing, it only works for those who are mostly interested in their lives and not too hung up about things around them and that is why they need to pause and look around...If you are always looking around, you will never see it....take care people!!!do feel free to drop in any sort of comments!thank you!

Somethings about hatred

In time we hate that which we often fear.
William Shakespeare


I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.
Eminem

Those whom we can love, we can hate; to others we are indifferent.
Henry David Thoreau

You don't hate history, you hate the way it was taught to you in high school.
Stephen Ambrose  

Sun, no sand and beach....ouch!!

The Beautiful Mornings

It is not the rising Sun or the accompanying dance of rays that make a beautiful morning but the fact that nobody knows what will be the events of the entire day till the Sun sets.

We all make plans, some plan their days one week ahead, some of them have it all in their organizers and PDAs, others might just have it mentally prepared the night before. Yet, every morning all we do is hope that our plans go through. This is the very evidence that none of us have any idea of the surprises awaiting us.

Hope our days teach us more about life allowing us to live for a meaning where we all learn and make our lives more meaningful before death takes over. Have a wonderful day!

Eggless Steamed Apple Cake

For the past one week I have been planning to do steamed cake as I am only used to baking cakes usually. The only problem was finding a suitable recipe. I wanted it to be eggless, I needed it to have simple ingredients in order to be able to get it all in one place and most of all, it had to be tasty. After thorough search, I did manage to get a very simple recipe but it contained egg. So, I took the liberty to modify the ingredients and made it eggless. I must say, it turned out well textured and tasty!

Skinning and dicing the apples took some time

The batter

The cake after its done-cut into 4 triangles for decoration purposes

Tasted as yummy as it looks!

Mine was made in my Panasonic SR-MM18N 10-Cup Advanced Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker which comes with a steam function. It only took 1 hour to cook instead of the 1.5 hours suggested by the original recipe.

The original recipes are from:
