<br />
No, I haven't abandoned the Blog yet again. I'm in Canada for some work and have been busy as hell. Long hours, fun work and the time seems to be flying.<br />
<br />
I have been reading all your wonderful posts and enjoying them in my freetime.<br />
<br />
Gorging on typical American food here...burgers, american style Pizzas - yes basically all kinds of junk food :/<br />
Am afraid I'll be able to give a baby elephant a run for its money on weight issues once I get home :D<br />
<br />
Thats all for now.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">sorry for not updating the blog in such a long time. I had shifted bases from No Man's Land to... well a new place which is not anything like No Man's Land. The city where I live is great. As you know good and bad always come together. So even though there are quite a few perks here, there are also a few things which are not so great. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anyways, I just wanted to let you know that I'm still around and have not abadoned this baby yet. Here is hoping that I can update more often now.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">today I made a wonderful dish. I had some broccoli in my fridge, so I decided to combine this green veggie with a tasty, creamy goat cheese sauce. You can have this with pasta or as it is. First I wanted to make some pasta with it, but it looked so yummy and I was soooo hungry, I decided to omit the pasta and attack this dish with my hunger :D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I used goat cheese for this recipe. I'm not sure if it will work with other cheese variations, so if you try it out with Parmesan or Cheddar or the cheese of your choice, do let me know, how it turned out.</span><br />

<h4>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The story behind this recipe:</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My brother loves european dishes much much more compared to indian dishes. Even though he can never say no to my mom's curd rice with aloo curry, he still loves his pasta. So on a weekend when my parents were running some errads last year, I decided to cook something for him. I asked him what he would like for lunch. He said anything without the indian spices. I wanted something easy, quick and healthy but still rich in taste. AND something to satisfy his european tongue. So I searched the net and voila I found something which would fit the bill. I made this with pasta last time and the consistence of the sauce was thinner. I miss my brother and I miss my weekend lounging with him. He inspired me to try not only the indian cuisine but also the european one</span></span>.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I just love sweets. And Christmas is soon approaching which means the stores are filled with all kinds of cookies, cakes, chocolates, puddings, Lebkuchen, Zimtsterne...hmm..my idea of sweet heaven. The stores are also filled with all kinds of Baking extravaganzas like food colors, marzipan decorations, chocolate delicacies...everything required for a Baking Heaven :) Maybe that's why no diets works for me ;)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">While doing my daily grocery shopping, I just wanted to buy everything. Unfortunately my purse advised me not to. And I had to listen to it. Speaking of purses, I need a new one. This one is sadly going kaput. Oh I digress...sorry.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So today it the first Advent Sunday and I decided to make a chocolate cake. actually I just wanted to make a cake...then I decided to add some cocoa and voila it became a chocolate cake.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The basic recipe is from <a href="http://cooklikepriya.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Priya<span style="font-size: small;"> didi'</span>s site</a>: <a href="http://cooklikepriya.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/rose-cake-for-wonderful-husband-happy.html">http://cooklikepriya.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/rose-cake-for-wonderful-husband-happy.html</a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I made a few adjustments like adding cocoa and the chocolate chips.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<h4>
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The story behind this recipe:</span> </h4>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I’m linking this event to Gayatri didi’s „Walking through the memory lane“ </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />This is the first time ever I’m spending the “Advent time” away from my family. In Germany the 24 days before Christmas is called the Advent time. Eventhough we are hindus and don’t celebrate Christmas as Germans do, this time is still special to us. During this time we visit friends, have potlucks and generally spend time with friends and then celebrate Christmas with Family only. <br /><br />In this time my mom and me bake loads of goodies like Christmas cookies and cakes. Every year we try something special from the german baking finery. Last year we tried coconut mackronen, the year before vanilla kipfern , etc etc. This year I’m not at home and can’t bake any goodies with my mom. I was a bit sad but thankfully my vacation got sanctioned and I can go home just before Christmas but still in time to spend the Christmas days with my family. This year we want to try out a Walnut White Chocolate Cake. I have already printed out the recipe and asked my mom to stock on the ingredients. I can’t wait for the 23rd, so that I can finally be with my family and enjoy the goodies :). <br /><br />But before that I wanted to recreate the special feeling of Advent and baked this delicious chocolate cake without eggs. It not only looks yummy but also tastes awesome and is quick & easy to make. As soon as I was done, I sent my mom the pic via facebook telling her I miss everyone at home sooooo much. <br /><br />I’m planning to take this cake to office tomorrow and enjoy it with my colleagues, my “make-believe” family here. Hopefully they will appreciate my efforts :) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yesterday evening it started snowing here in East Germany. Everything is covered in powdery white snow and looks so serene and beautiful. Unfortunately it will also mean scratching the car to rid it of snow on Monday morning before work and waking up 10 minutes earlier to do that. Hmm...every coin has two sides, right?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm looking forward to this Christmas festival season. I still thinking about what presents to get, not only for friends and family but also for me. Everyone is allowed to splurge once in while, isn't it?</span></span></div>
<div class="gedichttext">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />I'm looking forward to spend time with my family drinking hot chocolate, watching movies, baking, cooking and eating mom's food. Everything I missed doing while staying away from home and not being able to do.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have new found respect for all Food Bloggers. And all Food Photographers. Seriously. You guys rock.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When I first read about the <a href="http://scrapbook-carpe-diam.blogspot.de/2012/11/its-raininggiveaways.html" target="_blank">Giveaways</a> at various Food Blogs and decided to participate, I didn't think much. The most difficult part would be deciding<span style="font-size: small;"> on</span> an easy enough recipe. Or so I thought. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">No, the most difficult part was taking photographs while cooking, coz mostly, my handy were covered with food and I didn't want my camera to be covered with food<span style="font-size: small;">. </span>Then the writing this blog post. That seriously<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>wasn't easy. Even though I have probably read hundreds of recipes<span style="font-size: small;">. The pictu<span style="font-size: small;">re adding was the worse part. It took me ages to add them in the order that <span style="font-size: small;">I wanted it to be an<span style="font-size: small;">d then the preview looked horrible. So the whole process started again...</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Please forgi<span style="font-size: small;">ve <span style="font-size: small;">my amateurish pictures. I'm a newbi<span style="font-size: small;">e, so show m<span style="font-size: small;">e some sympathy? Pretty<span style="font-size: small;"> please with a cherry on top? :)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Somehow I managed and here I would finally like to present my version of <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semmelkn%C3%B6del" target="_blank">Semmelknoedel</a>. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Semmelknödel is a typical, south German, Austrian, bohemian recipe. Semmel means old bread. So it is the best way to use old hard bread. Knoedel signifies the round form, but I didn't make them round. Normally it is eaten as a side dish with a Non-Veg Dish. As I don't cook Non Veg, I decided to make it as a snack and had it with my Chai.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have twinged the recipe a bit to adapt it to my Indian taste. Since it is steamed and then shallow fried in olive oil, I count it as a guilt free snack :) The indian flavors were mouth watering. Serve with the chutney of your choice or with Ketchup. I took my inspiration from <a href="http://www.vox.de/rezepte/anzeigen/index/rezept/450612/id/636/Resche-Ente-mit-Orangen-Ananaskraut-und-hausgemachten-Semmelknoedel" target="_blank">here</a>,<a href="http://eatsmarter.de/rezepte/semmelknoedel-gemuese/" target="_blank"> here</a> and <a href="http://eatsmarter.de/rezepte/semmelknoedel-rahmpilzen-smarter/" target="_blank">here</a>. So lets move on the the recipe.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This has probably been my worst week ever. First I sprained<span style="font-size: small;"> my</span> ankle<span style="font-size: small;">. Meaning I </span>can't drive<span style="font-size: small;">, I can't walk properly, I cant stand on my feet for more than five minutes coz that hurts my feet. I'm ha<span style="font-size: small;">ving trouble sleeping coz I can't place my <span style="font-size: small;">legs the way I would like to coz that too hu<span style="font-size: small;">rts my le<span style="font-size: small;">g *surprise surprise*. But som<span style="font-size: small;">ehow I was managing. I still went to work coz I had too much on my plate and want to finish as soo<span style="font-size: small;">n as possi<span style="font-size: small;">ble so that I <span style="font-size: small;">can leave "No Ma<span style="font-size: small;">n's Land"<span style="font-size: small;">.</span></span> <span style="font-size: small;">I </span></span></span></span>a<span style="font-size: small;">sked one of my colleagues to pick <span style="font-size: small;">me up and drop me back home</span> </span> <span style="font-size: small;">It would get <span style="font-size: small;">better soon I said to myself.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Then my boss informed me, he will be <span style="font-size: small;">visiting my workplace to asses my work progress. Sort of like a <span style="font-size: small;">test. I <span style="font-size: small;">am seriously nervous about that.<span style="font-size: small;"> I haven't been to visit the contract site for quite a few weeks as I had a lot o<span style="font-size: small;">f wor<span style="font-size: small;">k to do in control room.<span style="font-size: small;"> He will probably have a lot of questions about the site and that has been giving been jitters, panic attacks and sleep<span style="font-size: small;">less nights (an<span style="font-size: small;">d coz of the leg-pain too) for the past week. And how am I supposed to show<span style="font-size: small;"> him around with my injured leg?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

It wasn't anything serious, o<span style="font-size: small;">r at least I thi<span style="font-size: small;">nk it isn't. I <span style="font-size: small;">haven't<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>had the time to go to doctor for another check-up.</span></span></span></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Worst of all is that today my mobile slipped out of my hand and my screen is broken. I'm still able to receive calls and call people for now...unfortunately I don't know for how lon<span style="font-size: small;">g this will work. And I don't know if my alarm wil<span style="font-size: small;">l work. How am I supposed to <span style="font-size: small;">wake up in the mo<span style="font-size: small;">rnin<span style="font-size: small;">g without that? I can't <span style="font-size: small;">buy myself a new one coz the nearest electronic shop is like 40 kms away and I can't drive, remember?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I know it might sound shallow, but I<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>can live with arm, leg and he<span style="font-size: small;">art break...but <span style="font-size: small;">ask me <span style="font-size: small;">to live without technology (car, mobile, Internet) and I<span style="font-size: small;">'</span>ll go <span style="font-size: small;">bonkers.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">How will I sur<span style="font-size: small;">vive in "No Man's Land" <span style="font-size: small;">till end of <span style="font-size: small;">2012 without my trusted ph<span style="font-size: small;">one????</span></span></span></span> *sob sob*</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I must admit I'm not a good cook. I mostly manage with pastas, curd rice and maybe an occasional khichdi. That's all. But I love eating. I am a <b>huuuge</b> Foodie (Not only in my passion for Food but unfortunately because of this addiction also in size). I love trying new dishes in restaurants and watch cooking shows rigorously. I not only love prominent shows like Jamie Oliver, Khana Khazana but also shows where normal people share their cooking secret like Das Perfekte Dinner etc.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On Internet I love Cooking Blogs. I have about 4 blogs on my Blog roll I check out whenever I see an update and quite a few Blogs I check sporadically. So when I saw <a href="http://www.sirisfood.com/2012/11/celebrating-first-anniversary-win.html#more" target="_blank">this</a> post from <a href="http://www.sirisfood.com/">http://www.sirisfood.com</a>, I decided to repost it and try my hand at cooking and posting about it. I'm not sure what I'm going to cook, if it will be tasty at all, will I be able to eat it or will it land in the dustbin (like the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9chamel_sauce" target="_blank">Belchamel Sauce</a> I tried to make last week). I'm not sure if what I'm trying to do is bravery or bravery bordering on foolishness. But after following <a href="http://www.sirisfood.com/" target="_blank">Siri's Blog</a> for quite some time I would like to give this a try. Anyways after my <a href="http://scrapbook-carpe-diam.blogspot.de/2012/11/murphy-and-me.html" target="_blank">small stunt with the step</a> I don't really have anything better to do and need something new to get out of my boredom. What can be better than not only trying some cooking but also gaining some weight (as if I'm super slim or something :/) :D</span></span></div>

Why my mom and not me, you ask? Well she is the cooking brain in the family I swear. Apparently cooking genes skip generations in my family. My great-grandmother was an amazing cook, so my granny turned out to be lazy and only made the essentials. My mom loves cooking and experimenting and I turned out to be the kind of person who cooks only the essential minimum. Seriously, I consider warming a pizza or a pre-cooked dish cooking and am an expert at that :D In my defence, there is heat involved so that's cooking and thats my logic, so don't argue with me, ok? Ok :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since my weekend starts tomorrow and to my utter displeasure it has already started snowing in "No Mans Land", I have decided to start my "Adventures with Cooking" from tomorrow. Lets see if I can consequently follow my plans, as I'm a big procrastinator.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Festivals always remind you of home. Living alone in "No Man's Land" has definitely taught me that. Even though the days when I used to celebrate Diwali in India are long gone, but still Diwali celebration at my parents' house (in south Germany) is still more special than having a small Puja at my place and with pudding as offering (chocolate pudding, a small comfort). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I talked to <i>Amma</i> and told her that I had a small Puja with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anuradha_Paudwal" target="_blank">Anuradha Paudwal's</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycOi9B4ADgk&feature=related" target="_blank">Om Jai Jagdish</a> blaring from YouTube as <i>Aarti</i>. Hearing her make <i>Payasam</i> and <i>Suji ka Halwa</i> made my mouth water. Wish I was at home gorging all those savories. Missing the Puja I do at home with proper <i>diyas</i> instead of candles with<i> kukum</i>, <i>vibudhi</i> and a proper <i>Aarti</i>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Speaking of Food, I have been getting a high from <a href="http://www.cookingandme.com/" target="_blank">Nags</a>, <a href="http://www.sirisfood.com/" target="_blank">Siri's</a>, <a href="http://priyaeasyntastyrecipes.blogspot.de/" target="_blank">Priya's</a> and <a href="http://www.spicytreats.net/" target="_blank">Sangeetha's</a> <b>Diwali Savories Blog-o-thon</b>. Loving all the lovely recipes they are posting and the food photographs are so wonderful, that they make my mouth water just looking at them. My mom is a wonderful cook and she has made all these wonderful snacks and sweets which are typical for Diwali. Unfortunately she forgot to pass on the cooking gene, so I'm happy with having pudding and pasta. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As of recent I have started reading quite a lot on Mommy Blogs. I don't know why, but I have been having a lot of fun reading them.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">After being in "No Man's Land" for more than a year, I finally decided it was time to change a few things...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What changes, you might ask, dear readers. So here is the whole deal:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the past year I had gained some weight. Correction: not some, but quite a lot of weight. I would easily go as far as comparing myself to a baby elephant *sob* *sob*. So I decided to do some sports to regain my size zero figure (sarcasm). For those who don't know me, I never was a size zero person and never will be. I'm a desperate foodie and hate all kinds of sports.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But something had to be done regarding my weight. So I put my thinking cap. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since it is now Fall/Winter here and that means most of the time it will be raining and cold outside. That means all kinds of outdoor activities ideas can be easily discarded. Anyways I have always hated jogging and any kind of running around activity. So what to do now?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I talked about this to my site secretary and she told me, she read about <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycOi9B4ADgk&feature=related" target="_blank"><i>Zumba</i></a> classes nearby. That's perfect I thought. I love dancing and fast paced dancing will definitely help me improve my fitness condition. The classes were Thursdays at a place I didn't know and Fridays at a place pretty close to my office. 6 p.m. sharp.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Friday came. I was excited about the classes. At sharp 5:45 p.m. I left office dressed in my sports pants and t-shirt (minus the sports shoes, but with regular shoes...long story, another post? Let me know if you are interested). Drove to the address given by my secretary. No one was there. Has the class been cancelled? was my first thought. Would be typically my luck. But I was a bit early, I consoled myself. I saw a group of guys hanging nearby and I decided to approach them to find out. I was informed that the classes alternated weekly between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. So I decided to hang around with the guys and left them as soon as I saw someone entering the community hall where the classes took place.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was fantastic. I had a little trouble catching up with all the steps, but nothing I couldn't master with a bit of practice. The class was attended by 12 to 15 ladies all in varying ages. So no need to feel guilty or embarrassed. It was fun and I loved it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Even though 6 Euros per class is a bit expensive for me, I was still considering going there every week, possibly even twice a week. So all was well till Friday and I went to bed with my conscience happy that I had finally done some sports. <b>Things could only get better from here. Or so I thought.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Murphy decided to intervene. How you ask? Here is how:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Saturday morning I went for my usual home shopping buying bread, milk and the usual stuff. After that I decided to treat myself with a piece of cake since I had definitely burned a lot of calories with Zumba the previous evening. I went to the Cafe just opposite my house. Just I was entering the Cafe, I slipped a step, tripped on my own feet and down I went. My foot was swollen like a big apple. I had to cry because of the pain and all my dreamy of dancing Zumba went down the drain like my tears which were pouring down my face.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />The Cafe belongs to my Landlady, so thankfully she came to my rescue. Her daughter drove me to the nearby nightmarish (<span style="font-size: small;">Theme for<span style="font-size: small;"> another post?)</span></span> hospital. I was x-rayed and to cut a long story short, my ankle is sprained. Lots of rest. Cool the damn foot. Keep the bandage on. Eat the pain killers and be put said the doctor. I can't believe Karma/ <span style="font-size: small;">D</span>estiny/ God/ Murphy is soooo against me. When I finally decided to do some sports, they had to come and make this happen which has made me very limited in my movement. Great, isn't it?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Why oh <span style="font-size: small;">why<span style="font-size: small;"> did this have to happen to me<span style="font-size: small;">????</span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">You've probably heard this quote a million times and thought this true too. The war between men & women has been going on for as long as anybody can remember. This post will not concentrate on everything this war compromises of, but will only concentrate on the aspect "<b>color</b>".</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Working in a professional field where men dominate, I often have discussions about color-blindness with men and how they cannot differentiate between a soft baby-pink and a clearly bright shocking pink. No, I don't work in any fashion or artistic industry. I programme operating interfaces and I do think color schemes are important for customers who have to stare at a monitor for the better part of their day.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> I remember conversations with my professors in college as well as school who refused to do experiments with color indicators declaring it difficult to argue with women about different shades of the same colors :D.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So when I received a mail from one of my colleagues the other day about color schemes, I thought I'd share it with you dear readers. Have a look and decide for yourself, how would you define different color-schemes? :D</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Even though everything might seem perfect, it is not. I'm having a horrible week at work with lots to do and the deadline approaching on Monday. So to make my week even worse than it already was, I have to work today and probably on Sunday too. Life sucks sometimes :(</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">So as soon as I finish my cup, I'll leave for work. But before that I'd like to share a recent mail I received with you guys about some lessons in life. Somehow these words brought a smile to my face and I hope you enjoy them too. Wising everyone a nice weekend :) </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It was that time of the year. The time for my
yearly holiday back home. I was looking forward to three weeks of pure
bliss, two of which I will be spending at my home enjoying the company
of my parents, brother and meeting my lovely friends.
The middle week I will be going to back to my mother country where I
will hopefully enjoy a week full of temples, backwaters, beach, yummy
food, hindi/mallu/tamil movies and much more. To say I was excited would
be an understatement. I was jittery and anxious
about packing the right stuff, not leaving anything important behind
and definitely looking forward to my ICE ride in a <a href="http://www.deutschebahn.com/de/start.html" target="_blank">Sprinter</a> from Berlin
to my city. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was lucky to be
able to book a ticket in first class, which definitely had its perks.
The Sprinter is super fast, reaching Frankfurt from Berlin in about 4hours 20 minutes and has almost
all the luxuries of flying and similar service.
There is a meal included which even though doesn’t compare to Lufthansa
standard, but is definitely tasty enough to fill the hungry stomach. A
slight disadvantage is if one is a vegetarian. Then the options are limited. There is a possibility to skip the complete
meal and only go for a dessert and a roll or order something from the
board restaurant. A salad ordered by a passenger sitting nearby seemed
yummy. Unfortunately it came with a price as opposed to the
non-vegetarian lamb with couscous, beans, cheese-filled
paprika, roll with butter and vanilla pudding with cream. Free drinks
were served twice, first time just before the meal and the second time
just after. Options are Coffee, Black or Green Tee, Orange juice and
water with varying degree of CO<span style="font-size: x-small;">2</span>. The only disadvantage
of the free meal is that it is a bit cold. <i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><u style="color: red;"><b>Tip:</b></u></span></i><span style="color: red;"><b> </b></span>Order a hot
beverage with your meal. This will definitely take the taste of your
meal a notch higher. Unfortunately I was a bit late in identifying this
but you, dear readers, should not miss the opportunity,
were you to travel in similar fashion.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Traveling in first
class also means traveling with white-collar gents and ladies. It is
difficult to strike a conversation, as everyone is busy with their own
laptops, cell phones, and other utility gadgets. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Since I'm uncapable of sitting in a room of silence for more than a few minutes I'm constantly hearing some song or another. While travelling to work I hear the radio and while at home I'm on youtube or on one of the online radios. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">So thinking about music, I thought what are my favourite sommer hits this year, what has been playing constantly on my playlist either on youtube or on my phone. So here are my top 4 in random order:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">I was sooo excited to start this blog. Before (starting this Blog) I had thousands of thoughts & ideas I
wanted to write about. At night, before going to bed, I'd think of all the things jumbled in my head I would like to write about if I had a Blog. And now that I
finally have a Blog, somehow all my ideas have gone on a holiday.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">While searching for some pics to support my state of mind, I came across
this <a href="http://www.365daysofdrawing.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue;">Blog</span></a> from Becky Gabriel. I’d like to categorize this Blog as an Art Blog. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If you like landscapes and fruit bowls and cute animal stills, this is the
wrong place. But if you like fun pictures as well as fun posts this is the right
page to read. ( I just scrolled through a few posts and I can already say that
this girl is amazingly talented and extremely funny.) I’m looking forward to add this to my must read
Blog-List and would like to recommend it to others too. The pics are cartoons
and I’m bowled over by the creativity in her posts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Where do people get all their creativity from? This brings me back to my original problem: Writer's Block. So how do other Bloggers cope up with lack of ideas? Bloggers, who have been writing for years and years? I have just published one post and am already thinking of abandoning this Blog. But that wouldn't be fun and not me. So this post will be random rambling and hopefully by next post my brain will be back from holiday, well relaxed and ready to write.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">So in this hope...wishing everyone a nice, relaxing Sunday :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">My first post on this Blog...FINALLY!!! :)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I’ve
been wanting to write one since I started my new job, but somehow I was always
able to find one excuse or another…I'm the queen of <span class="st">procrastination. Seriously if there was a discipline</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="st"> in Olympic Sports in Procrastination, I'll probably get all golds. Or if it was a subject in school, I'll get all A's. I'm so good at it :D.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="st"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But
now I have finally decided to pull up my socks and start writing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I
had a lot of trouble deciding a name for my blog. Since this won't be a
theme related blog like about cooking or tech stuff I wasn't sure what
to name it.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
Ramblings or thoughts about day to day life are going to be my main
topics. But the tag "rambling" was already taken by quite a few bloggers
so my search was still going on till I decided to name my blog "<a href="http://scrapbook-carpe-diam.blogspot.de/">http://scrapbook-carpe-diam.blogspot.de</a>/".</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Why this name? Well, I actually like the idea of scrapbook. It has something universal about it. It can be about anything and nothing. Little things that happen in my life, which I find interesting enough to blog about.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And Carpe-diam? Well for all people with spellcheck OCD, I know it's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpe_diem" target="_blank">Carpe-Diem</a>, which basically means "seize the day" or as I would like to interpret it: "live life to the fullest". </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My blog says diAM for a reason. Dia is my first name and M is the first letter in my last name. Clever, huh?</span></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: justify;">
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">P.S.: For the uninitiated...<a href="http://festivals.iloveindia.com/rituals/naamkaran.html" target="_blank">Namkaran</a> is an indian tradition where a new born is named. I consider this blog my baby, hence the title. A bit cheesy? Maybe. But I like it. :D</span></div>
