No Bake Cake! :)

It's a very easy yet tasty recepie! I thought let me just share it with you people! :))


Ingredients:
4 packets Glucose biscuits
1 cup chocolate icing
1/2 tsp. coffee powder
1/2 cup warm water
1 packet Gems

Chocolate Icing:
50 gm. butter
2 tbsp. cocoa powder
1/2 cup icing sugar
1-2 tsp. water
1 cup crushed walnuts

Beat all the ingredients of chocolate icing together to a smooth, creamy consistency. Add a little water if required.


Method:
Next spread a little of this icing on a plate. Mix the coffee powder in the warm water and dip the biscuits in it, one at a time and stick to the plate, forming a square. Cover the biscuits with a layer of chocolate icing. Sprinkle the walnuts. Repeat the same with all the biscuits, making several layers. Cover the topmost layer, the sides and the top with icing. Decorate with Gems. Let it cool for about an hour. Then serve.

Reverie..



Alone I sit,
With the candles lit,
Perched prettily,
On our favourite seat,
Waiting in the bountiful meadow,
For my prince charming to come..

Alone I roam,
Picturing the white tomb,
Built in the name of love..
Sighing and sulking,
Stomping and brooding
I count my pearls thrice in a row!


Still upset, I lie down,
The cool grass brushing my gown,
Slowly I wipe away the frown,
And enter my dreamy town!

I am the countess,
With thousands of suitors,
Vying and dying to be my belove.
But I, fidgeting with my glove,
Wait for my one and only true love..

My patience is rewarded,
As my knight is shining armour,
Comes swiftly yet steadily,
Sweeps me off my feet,
And declares his undying love..

Still in his arms,
And riding through the farms,
On his graceful horse,
Sprinting with unnerving force,
Yet not feeling the bump,
We gallop and jump,
And ride past the thousand suitors,
Who now seem like sugar lumps..

We reach 'our' meadow,
It seems, as if on earth,
There's a heaven's window..
We sit on the berth,
His hand in mine,
We solemnly sit sipping the sparkling wine.

As the twilight dawns,
The place is mysteriously lit,
With deers and fawns,
As if, they were made to fit..

As I am happily wondering,
His smile is mischievously dazzling,
I am suddenly blindfolded,
The vanishing act, is, magically enchanted!

As the satin is unfolded,
The meadow is bewitched,
There are tables and chairs,
And perhaps, laid down for us..

He leads me to one,
And says, "I love you, hon",
I blush, a beetroot red,
And a peck on my cheek,
Is enough for me,
To flush, from toe to head..

We wine and dine,
And everything's fine,
It all feels so perfect!

A gust of wind,
A shower of rain,
Brings me back to the present,
I shiver, I think,
I watch the glowing crescent,
Slowly peeping from the heaven's brink,
And, I wake up from my deep slumber.

I am not sad,
Neither am I mad,
Coz' my mesmerising reverie,
Has once again made my mind free,
With all the thoughts,
And the ruthless doubts..

Ah! The sweet day-dream,
You have given me a dash of hope,
Topped with whipped cream,
That someday, sometime,
The bewitching reverie,
Will take the form of reality!


Reverie:

/revvri/

noun 1 a daydream. 2 Music an instrumental piece suggesting a dreamy or musing state.

— ORIGIN Old French, ‘rejoicing, revelry’, from rever ‘be delirious’.

I used it in the first sense.


Whoa, Vinod read my poem, and he thought that it had a bit of a bitter ending! So, he just modified the ending it a bit. He thought it was mean of the guy to not come in the end! :P

That's his part, it's just added to the poem:


"As I was getting up,

Did I see something there?

Was I just imagining,

Or could he be really there?

I looked again to see that, mystery could not prevail,

My dream had indeed turned into real!"

I am Different. Weird. Funny. A Bookworm!

I search : Google, Wikipedia. Encyclopedia. My e-mail (for lost mails :P) for anything and everything. I have this weird habit of doing an IMAGE search of everything I search about. Somehow it gives a nice feeling.. ;)

I TOLD you I was weird.
I wonder : Where and how will I end up.

I read EVERYTHING! I am not kidding. Newspapers. Books. Blogs. E-mails. Little chits that people pass around. Scribblings on the walls. Websites. EVERYTHING! not course books, though.
I don't always : Fight. Like everyone thinks that I am this female gundi! I do it because it's not in me to sit around and keep taking the injustice around me. That's WHY I shout.

I never : eat Cola flavoured ice-lolly.

I always : Take Iced-Tea when I go to Mc Donalds. And grab an opportunity to do a katta. 

I confuse : Aloo Chaat with Aloo Tikki. I have had to eat Aloo Chaat instead of Aloo Tikki hundreds of times because of it. OR wait..was it Aloo tikki I wanted to have...? :|

L o v e..


I am going to present my very first normal poem. As in normal from my standards. I have taken a lot of pains in writing this, so don't be too harsh on criticising it. I am NOT a poet, so consider this before you read. AND, maybe your 3 year old niece could whip out something better than this..but still, thnx to many people's motivation I am taking this step! :)
I name my poem LOVE..as it the easiest, yet most difficult to express..

Love, for me is like,
Two petals of a flower,
Bound tightly,
Parted slightly,
You cannot fathom it's power..

Born as a bud,
They rise from the mud,
Beautifully and gracefully,
They may part in the near future,
Only to meet again..

Their souls are entwined,
Destinies intertwined,
and unlike mankind,
They leave all their sorrows behind..

They smile as the sun shines,
Dance in the bright rainbow,
Flutter in the frost snow,
Twitter in the hot weather,
but never do they turn bitter..

Even when their life ends,
They are smiling,
They fall together,
Not breaking the phenomenon,
They start afresh together,
and remain in love forever..

P.S. I dedicate this poem to Shreya, my bestie, forever.. Who taught me to love! Whatever may happen, I will love you always! :)
