Soft Ellunda or Sesame seed laddu

On a very very hot afternoon, after a very long time, its time to update something on my blog . I have been pretty much ignoring my blog since its first anniversary. Life has been a lot busy with planning the vacation to India, the actual vacation, ongoing inlaws visit and the list goes on and on. If I think back, may be it was possible for me to post more frequently. May be I should have focused more. May be the motivation wasnt enough. And I think thats exactly what was missing. Motivation. I did cook tons, experimented tons and learnt lots. Somehow the motivation to take pictures, then sit down and draft a post was missing. Coming to think about it, I do miss planning a blog post. Cooking something and then rushing to take pictures. Taking hundreds of pictures and making a mess of things. Finally the selection process, the editing and then the actual composition of the blog post. Yup, I do miss them!! Till now, I have just rushed through things and let everything pass by. But now I feel like pausing and being more aware and taking control of situation. Hoping that I stick to it and not lose interest and let things go back to the same as it was previously. 

You know, there may be many things that you wish to achieve in life. And at some point in life, nothing may be working out, lots of things may be stagnant. But I have realized that things are going to be stagnant, unless you take the first action and accept change. Always knew it in mind, but kept on losing track of it somewhere deep inside the mind. Keep on visualising what you want in your life, keep on telling it loud, keep on praying as you do always, work in small steps towards whatever you want and most importantly be patient.
