Shot my 1st "cooking" video

Hey everybody! :-D

I made Gnocchi today and I thought a photo just wouldn't help so I decided to shoot a 30 second video. And here's how it came out - horrible. lame. audio-less. dark.

Not to mention showing off my short, plump fingers! Why, oh why did I get my dad's fingers? :-/

I cleared my throat and spoke in the best voice ever throughout the video, only to later realize my digicam wouldn't record the audio! :-D Popat ho gaya. But the video itself garnered 20 views within 1 hour and that got me all excited. :-P Talk about going "viral"!

Don't worry, I don't intend for all my posts on this blog to be about my other website. ;-) But I figured a video (no matter how lame) is a milestone worth sharing. :-D

What is up with y'all?

Bought another DOT COM!

Don't ask me what the link is.

I really can't tell you now! 

But I was so excited that I had to share it with y'all. ;-)

I already own a couple of websites. I had no plans of diversifying any further.

BUT....... ideas strike in the most bizarre situations!! :-)

So, I've gone ahead and bought another domain name from GoDaddy.

Who's up for "GIPPY" or "GO GOA GONE"?

Both these movies are releasing on May 10th and I'm goin' for one of the two.

Anybody up for it? :-D I think the last movie we all saw together was Fanaah.. after 10th exams (remember)? :-D
Or was it Lage Raho Munnabhai? Dunno.. which released later?

Anyhoo.. both these movies sound good..  I'll probably relate a lot to GIPPI though!

Gippi

Go Goa Gone

So.. let me know if you wanna come with me! I'll buy you an ice cream. ;-)

Goodbye, Shamili

The goodbyes should have been said way back in December. But we didn't know at that time, we'd lose Shammi to Hyderabad so soon! :-/

So today, we (Me, Swati & Sangeeta) got to spend a few hours before she & her family left Bumbaai for good. Never being the "emotional types" anyways, there were no teary goodbyes. But we hugged it out :P (Hainaa Shammi? Did you like the collision of biology & emotions? :P)

For the sake of decency, I'm refraining from cracking dirty jokes at this point. ;-D But I'm definitely gonna miss having Shammi around.. Especially to tease her with Mr. K or Mr. V :P

Here are a few pictures I found of our good ol' days together... Sigh, why do we have to grow up?! :'(

(L-R: Kritika, Shammi & Sayali)

LOL!! Did we honestly think that was a good pose? :P

We'll meet again soon. (in June 1st week, 2013) And the next time we meet - we're going to Goa and getting drunk!!!! :P You're all welcome!!

Random Facts Time... (Kavitha)

Hello, I'm Kavitha.

Two years ago, around the time I was getting ready to appear for my CA exams, I found my passion in writing about food and thus created a website solely dedicated to my culinary experiments. A pretty decent one at that.

That was the beginning.

Today, I cannot spend a day without writing. I don't know if I'm a better cook today than I was 2 years ago, but I've certainly learned how to write well. :-) And so, the idea of starting a group blog was just too interesting to pass off as just-another-crazy-idea.

In case y'all are curious, here are some random facts about yours truly -

• Born in Vishakapatnam just 1 minute before the clock struck 12 am; 31st August. ;-) [and No, I'm not telling you the year I was born so you can guess my age. I'm SIXTEEN. Period]
• In case you didn't figure out from fact #1#, I don't talk to the point. I like to jerk around a lot. :-P
• The elder one in the family
• Love the younger brother to death - and eternity. Consider him to be my best friend.
• Love to cook & feed others more than eat myself. (Although, if its Aloo Parathas or Rajma Chawal, you better make plans to eat elsewhere coz you ain't getting any!)
• Super awkward when meeting new people. Sometimes I wish the ground would open and eat me up! But I also warm up to the newbies pretty fast. So a couple of meetings and I'm chattering away like long lost buddies!
• Keep having crushes on these incredibly gorgeous guys who turn out to be gay. :-/ {et tu, Matt Bomer?! :'( }
• I spend close to 6 hours on the internet everyday. No, I don't watch porn. :-P I have an e-business kinda thing going on... We'll talk about that later.
• I'm a mediocre hypocrite who makes fun of the Indian aunties for watching TV serials when in fact, I do the same thing - just in English! (Grey's Anatomy & White Collar really bring out my emotions)
• I secretly belly dance whenever I'm bored. And if I'm still bored, I do the Ballet. {No, you cannot see me perform either coz I look like a clown trying a Belly Figure 8 or a Ballet Plié :-P}
• If I had a dollar for every time sometime said "I shouldn't be a CA, but do something in art..." well, I'd own my own freaking house in Silicon Valley!
• I average around a couple of books a week. That doesn't make me a geek. It makes me awesome. Flipkart.com gives me a bookgasm every time. (okay, that was lame. I crack a lot of lame jokes!)
• I'm not a hugger, kisser, pout-maker or a mmuuaah-love-you-teller. But that doesn't mean I'm not nice or I don't love or care about my friends and family. :-D
• I recently learned the phrase "Fug yourself" and I love it!
