What do I want to put on display when I post a selfie? Is it a new dress? New accessories? Outfit idea? Rings? Earrings? All of them? None of them? It depends. For me, selfie is a self expression. It is an art.
A couple of days ago I came across something very disturbing. A colleague showed me a social media post. This post was created by my colleague's friend (OP). The post was about an art created by her brother for her daughter. Normal right? Until it isn't. The OP's brother is a painter an artist. The post shows that her brother had small amount of his blood extracted. This blood was taken on to a palette. He has used his blood to create a painting of his niece (OP's daughter). The girl appears to be three or four years old. He had painted his niece with his own blood on a canvas. This painting was gifted to the niece on her birthday. In this social media post the entire process of creating this painting was shown right from drawing of blood from the painters vein till gifting this painting to his niece on her birthday. The worst part is that the OP had mentioned "I am proud of you brother" as the caption of the post. After seeing this post I was deeply distur...
Life is truely uncertain. I felt it several times, but not this prominently. At least till this week. Earlier this week, we received a phone call to inform us of sad demise of a neighbor. He was around 40 years old. He had a lot of health issues and was in the hospital of some time. Indeed it was disheartening. Life so young was lost. Later this week, I got similar news about a work colleague who met an unexpected end. He was healthy (at least as per the people around him). He was feeling unwell, hence asked his friend to take him to a hospital. The doctor said he was fine and prescribed medications. He still wasn't convinced and was on his way to another hospital. He died on the way. He was in his 30s. When any young person dies, people always come up with conspiracy theories (recent common theory is COVID vaccine). What worries me is that we do not value the life enough. After the person's death everyone praises them, however the departed ones are rarely praised when they are...
While I was buying groceries, I noticed Blue Bird 5 minutes pasta in mast masala flavor. I bought it to try it. The ingredients looked okay. It did not contain refined wheat flour (surprise). Condiments in the taste maker included chilly, pepper, salt, sugar, fenugreek along with other dried vegetables. The penne get cooked in 7-10 minutes. I like my pasta well done, so took about 10 minutes; however al Dante will be within 7 minutes. I also used additional vegetables such as onion, capsicum, carrots, and broccoli. After stir frying the vegetables, I added the pasta and the taste maker. I was feeling adventurous so I added oregano and chilly flakes too. The result was this The pasta tasted delicious. The taste maker works well. Without the vegetables, it would not taste so good. Overall rating: 7/10 Makes a good lazy meal however additional vegetables and condiments are still required.
