the cook, noisy jaws and the sulker

i can cook!! i can cook!! i can cooookkk!!

yay! finally.. my new answer to the question "what can u cook?" would be "sambar, potato curry, vada, curd rice (iyengar ishtyle), and vermicelli paisam" ... instead of the snigger-producing "maggi noodles, a simple sandwich" (and the like) that i have managed to spell out, rather confidently, as if i cared tuppence for the comical look arrowed at me

i can REALLY COOK now :) thanks to my experiments made on dipavali day, folks at home were quite impressed with the erm.. spread i laid out for them :) of course, dear old mom (the best ever cook on earth) helped.. a little.. ok, a lot. mind u, it was she who helped me.. and not me who helped her :)

it was a rather quiet dipavali at home. nothin exactly special, but for mom's gulab jamuns. aah.. what a delight :)

hey sandy, now u have company for jaw pain :( well, well,well.. what can i say? i yawned too widely 3 weeks back .. and it gave me permanent clicking of jaws when i open and close my mouth :( ok, don't be mean to laugh .. it hurts :(

i went to have my jaws x-rayed. apollo dental care is a nice cheery place. i was waiting,waiting and waiting like, forever and i was attended to, only when i started wincing in pain. i went in for the x-ray. sheesh! new equipment. the last time i had a teeth x-ray was when i was 8 :O

frequent power cuts .. sigh.

a stupid cold's been threatening to attack me severely. and i am trying in vain to shield myself by drinking hot water, steam inhalation and desperately trying to avoid chocolates. and still, i manage to sneeze, cough violently and look like a clown with a red nose.

I HATE THIS WEATHER. PLZ CHANGE. PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE.

exams are nearing :
