The Agony of having a Sweet Tooth

You can't resist cakes and chocolates, you crave the most random sweets at odd times, you don't consider your meal complete unless you have dessert to go along with it. Congratulations! You have a major case of sweet tooth. And if it is so, you are probably accustomed to the feeling of walking into a bakery or a pastry shop, the sweet smell of those delicious pastries and cakes hitting your nostrils, and giving your eyes the pleasure of looking at those perfectly carved pies and tarts and macaroons and what not, knowing that you'll get to treat yourself with one.

I've only recently realized that I have a sweet tooth - and by recent I mean a couple of years ago. So yeah, I live on high cal diet, I wouldn't mind having a piece of cake for lunch or dinner, or both. Also, shakes form a major part of my life, and I'm highly dependent on chocolates for survival. Speaking of chocolates, only one bar is enough to single handedly turn my bad mood upside-down! There exists literally no problem which can't be solved with a piece of chocolate.

Owing to my obsession with sweets, I have found my utopia in baking. Whether it's a birthday or an anniversary, for me it isn't complete without a self made cake. Also, I have recently discovered - and by recently, I mean a couple of weeks ago - that I have a passion for food photography, thanks to my sweet tooth and smartphone with a decent camera. So basically I can't start eating without clicking a picture first, couple of which I have posted below.

Well, as long as I keep finding new hobbies in food and have my calories under control, I'm not hurting anyone, right?

P.S. Studies show that people who eat a lot of sweets actually tend to be "sweeter." Way to go, sweet tooth!

My opinion on - Inferno by Dan Brown

[Warning - Contains Spoilers] Released last year, Inferno is Dan Brown's fourth book in the Robert Langdon Series, the other three being Angels and Demons, The Da vinci Code and The Lost Symbol . Inferno isn't much different from the others, it was a page-turner like all his other books. The story takes off with Langdon waking up in a Hospital in Italy and suffering from retrograde amnesia. A female doctor named Sienna Brooks lets him know of his whereabouts and accompanies him in his journey which includes a sequence of interesting events, involving, of course, a lot of codes and symbols, and the story picks up pace thereafter. There are various puzzle pieces that Langdon needs to put together, which are made up by a ludicrous (also, dead) Geneticist named Bertrand Zobrist, who [SPOILERS] wants to cut down the population of the world by four billion. He commits suicide right at the beginning of the book, but not before creating a plague by the means of which he wan...

21-Day Blogging Marathon | Day 1: 5 Things That Make Me Happy

In the midst of the world locking down, and given the additional amount of time on our hands, I have decided to participate in a 21-day blogging marathon. This is inspired by the 30-day writing challenge on https://lifeentirely.wordpress.com – I have picked up some cool and interesting topics from this blog and customized them to suit my own style. Hope you enjoy it! Day 1: 5 Things That Make Me Happy I like to observe all the things around me and I greatly enjoy the little pleasures of life. Here I am listing 5 random things that bring me a lot of joy: 1. Books, bookshelves, bookstores: I find books to be very beautiful objects. What’s not to love about them? The smell, the feel of the pages, the happiness they give you when they are neatly stacked on a bookshelf next to each other, arranged by genre, author or even color. The sheer number of stories and characters they hold within themselves, and just knowing that you can get to be a p...

Entrepreneurship in India

Editor-in-chief of MiLLENNiAL magazine, Britt Hysen, writes - 60 percent Millenials think of themselves as entrepreneurs, and 90 percent of them consider entrepreneurship to be a mentality. Let's take a look at the latter half of the sentence. Entrepreneurship as a mentality. This is what Entrepreneurship is perceived as in today's day and age. New, innovative and unique ideas are flowing everywhere, and those bringing these ideas to life are millenials, creative and fearless, looking for the double bottom line of making profit as well as providing a valuable service. Look back two or three decades, and the picture is completely different. It was a time when most college graduates were satisfied with the safety of a well-paid job, and didn't dare to look outside of it. Entrepreneurship was considered a phenomenon only pursued by the ambitious Steve Jobses of the world. So what has changed in the short span of twenty, thirty years? The Techno...
