Yesterday morning I received a message from a friend that a
photo from my blog is being shared by another guy in facebook.
It’s not soo simple. Firstly this guy have copied my photo,
secondly he have taken the time and effort to come to my blog, copy my recipe,
translate it in Malayalam and post it in his facebook and happily share it and
not even a single mention of the source of the image or recipe.Grrrr.
Plagiarism at its peak.Whoever did this shameless task should at least have the
bare minimum courtesy to leave a link or
even a mention of the source of the image and recipe.
And what did I do : Politely dropped him a personal message,
left a comment on his blog. Nothing rude. Just mentioned that it is a
copyrighted image/recipe and appreciate if he removed it (See..how nice I am? I
myself am impressed by my politenessJ)
Luckily my politeness and patience wasn’t tested for long
and peace was restored .The person
apologized and provided a link of my blog as the source for the pic and
recipe!

Honestly I never bothered to watermark my photos , I thought
Cyber copy cats will go behind goeey ooey food photos and who will be bothered
to copy my average food photos! Anyways I have learned my lesson and started to
watermark my clicks, fully aware that this is not going to put an end to plagiarism
but at least I can sleep in peace.
Now coming to today’s special..It’s a luscious vegan cake. See
you don’t really need pounds of butter or eggs to make a lip smacking cake. Vegan
cake can be yummy too!
