It's been a while since I posted anything. And you It's been a while since I posted anything. And you guys would be thinking that why am I posting this picture of these biscuits and crunchy (so do we call it). Well, there's a story to it.
I was standing in my balcony today when I saw an old lady (almost the age of my grandmother) carrying these two big bags on each of her shoulders. She saw me and asked whether I'd like to buy some biscuits, namkeen, or something else that interests me. I couldn't stop myself from saying 'Yes!' and told her to wait. I immediately went to see what all she was selling and purchased these two packs (in the picture above). They cost me around 100 bucks which isn't a big amount for me. All I know is that it put a big smile on her face and might have lessened the weight on her shoulders. 
Kindness is a gift, my friend! And not everyone's worthy of that!
.
I'd like to hear some of your stories if you guys did anything out of sheer generosity.

Multiple illnesses had taken a toll on me, and so, Multiple illnesses had taken a toll on me, and so, I've been eating healthy for quite a while now. Fruits, veggies, and only home cooked food. 
I have never been a die hard fan of mangoes. Perhaps, I love the sweet and sour twist that these Pineapples carry. And to add to the list, Kiwis also have a special place in my heart. 
What about you guys? Which fruits do you love the most?

I was waiting for a good deal since the last time I was waiting for a good deal since the last time I had these puffs. These healthy Jowar Puffs from @healthycravingsco go hand in hand with a good cup of tea. And the best part - my granny also loved these puffs. My personal favorites: Herbs & Sundried Tomatoes and Cheddar Cheese. The Herbs and Sundried Tomatoes pack has a tangy and a little spicy flavor to it. On the other hand, Cheddar Cheese has a subtle cheesy flavor to it.
I got a good deal from the @goqiilife app and so, I ordered two boxes (each containing 6 packets).
P.s. For the triggered people out there - this is not a Sponsored post.

Whenever I eat out, I make sure that I judge the d Whenever I eat out, I make sure that I judge the dish on two factors:
1. Actual taste
2. After taste

The after taste actually gives me a glimpse of all the ingredients used in that particular dish. 
What kind of cooking oil have they used in it? What kind of spices go into the making of that particular dish? 
Given that we all talk about short term gains (pleasing our taste buds), we basically forget as to what all impact it has on our health in the long run.

A majority of my friends (who are in their 20s) have fallen prey into consuming Caffeine and try to work day and night due to the workload that they have. And now they're either busy taking medications or are ruining themselves by disturbing their sleep cycle.

The question arises, "How do we deal with all the stress that we're surrounded with? Or for that matter, how should we manage our daily routine and yet take care of our body as well?" I got a chance to meet one of the reputed nutritionists, Ms. Manisha Arora, at her Wellness Centre, @tafwellness , last week. She's working with a team of highly skilled professionals and has been able to curate an environment which not only benefits others in the long run but also makes them aware of their wrongdoings. 
She's working on a set of therapies which involves the use of various instruments (which don't have any side effects) and work by understanding your body to the fullest. 
RFT or Reverse Fat Therapy is one such therapy which deals with breaking down the fat cells of your body and penetrating them which ultimately makes you lose fat. 
Depending upon what's best for your body, she'll suggest what particular therapy you should go for and how you'll be benefited from it.

This place in Udyog Nagar serves some delicious eg This place in Udyog Nagar serves some delicious egg dishes. Famous by the name 'Kaatu' (Real name: Gyanchand), this guy has some really good magic in his hands. From dishes ranging from INR 25 to INR 250, he has been able to curate over 70 masterpieces. He's been here for 3 years and has been able to set a benchmark in the local neighborhood. .
We tried the Sesame Omelette Sandwich which is a good amalgamation of the mouth-melting omelette and the juicy yet tangy sauces. We expected a little crunch as well (due to the sesame added to it). Nevertheless, it is a real steal deal for INR 70 and you should definitely try it.

With a belief that these are just mere obstacles of life, I welcome 2019 with not having to worry at all about anything. 
Here's to the man we shot our first video of 2019 with. He's been able to cook over 70+ dishes with one chief ingredient being - Ah! I'll keep this as a secret for now. He'll soon be getting himself a menu as we asked him to do so. And yes, he asked us to suggest the names of the dishes as well.

Quesadillas!! Well, I cannot easily trust the pers Quesadillas!!
Well, I cannot easily trust the person who's making this dish as they often try to disappoint me. A bit of that smoky flavor deteriorates the beauty of this particular dish. 
Talking about these - The tortillas had a little smoky flavor and so, it added a little bitter flavor to the dish. Nevertheless, the fries were something good to relish the taste buds.

Well, it's time to try this lip smacking delicacy at Te Amo, Ansal Plaza.
