Anyways I have decided to give that a stop for the time being coz I am pretty sure that I am gone find more if I am getting soo worked out by that one silver strand!

So basically I have decided to eat healthy ,stay fit and seriously thinking about coloring my hairJ.

Vegan Banana Chocolate Layer cake

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!

“Vegetarian is an old Indian word for bad hunter”..Yes,that is my DH’s favorite quote, who also happens to be a hard core carnivore. So you can imagine how our 6 years of marital life would have been. The omnivore me  trying to convince the meat lover about the hazards of being a red meat eater and he in turn  persuading me to try all “delicious” stuff. The other day we went to a Japanese restaurant for dinner

DH: The beef tastes awesome, you should seriously try this!

Me: No way..

DH: The cow will feel bad if we don’t eat it. It’s the cows destiny to be a good steak one day. So you are not letting the poor animal fulfill its destiny!

Me: #&!!!! Huh? Ok I better don’t reply to that ..it  will be an insult to my intelligenceJ.(I will let my actions speak). Gives him one tight pinch

DH: OOO! That hurts!!

Me: So a pinch hurts so badly isn’t it? So imagine the pain the poor animal went through before it became your favorite steak!

DH: Silence ..followed by a big wideJ
