Bon Appetite



Yesterday clothes and today it is food. So, another movie? Well, yes… and a true one which was so perfect that we can all relate. ‘Julie and Julia’ released in 2009. Well, if you have seen the movie you know it’s about the food lovers. People who like to cook, like me. And ofcourse for that you have to be a foodie too.

Honestly, I was more interested in the Julia part of the story than Julie, but we cannot ignore the practical issues showed in Julie’s life, which I think we all go through. The working women, who work all day and is too tired to make some splendid dinner with the same delight and flavor. It is true, no matter how much I like to cook, but when I come home tired I just cook to eat.. anything not that horrible in taste would do. Ah, ofcourse check the calories, so better just have the boring tasteless diet food or salad and go to sleep. Just don’t think about it!

I was thinking that maybe I should get back to my old days when I decided to cook. I still do, but it just not the same. Not so experimental and playful. It is more like a job. So, I have decided to start that again, not now because the reason I started at the first place is not with me right now. Well, im talking about the one I love, joy of my life.

Funny to think about that in the movie as well… Julia started cooking so that she could feed her husband and that’s even how I started and mostly everyone does, maybe or not. Surprisingly, it works with every man.

And I still recall the first time I tried to make something.. I’ve no idea what it was.. something with eggs and pulses.. and what it became was shit.. I mean literally. I could not eat it, but he did, with a smile.

And the next month I had 1 month break before I went back to classes and I decided to cook. Honestly, the experience was great and it was thrilling to make a dish and the final pleasure to see someone special satisfied that he over eats.

So, hoping to get back together soon and start the festive season again with a lot of calories!

'Fashion fades, style is eternal'

Just finished watching ‘the devil wears Prada’ and no it wasn’t the first time. But, today it just felt different. After knowing a little about the work behind those clothes, I can say that it’s not so easy. I was someone always who felt fashion is nothing more than a myth. Clothes are more like food and it’s all about the comfort. Of course, the typical that it’s all about one’s perspective.
Though, I would still believe that you never judge the book through its cover and seriously I am so not a fashion icon. May be a little better I am now... climbing up from the almost fashion disaster.  
Truly, it’s not only about the size zero or the click –click. It’s about true personality, something which can change someone’s life and the reputation in this judging society. In simple words, it just feels good when someone say you are looking good... isn’t it? And it’s not so easy to reach that point to get an honest genuine compliment.
We are strong, we are beautiful, we are intelligent, what we wear should not matter. Is it? Yes or maybe not. But, the question is who decides the so called ‘fashion’; well even I have a doubt on that. After all it keeps changing... but isn’t it good… change is constant.
Personally, it seems I am definitely feeling that strong attraction, why people want to be a part of it. It is wild and it is beautiful. If you ask me, it’s your first impression… which lasts longer than we can imagine!
