(& Possibly Share It If You Think You Are a Generous Soul)
Disclaimer: This blog is meant as a fun way to look at life. And has
been written with a sense of humour! Keeping that in mind, please do
laugh as much as you can! They are not intended to cause any
affront/offense to any individual, group, organisation, religion, caste
or ethnic group! It is meant only to be enjoyed.
- It satisfies your need for order and OCD'ness. (You will have all
your recipes in a single place). And you don't even have to WRITE it
down. You can just now TYPE. **Evil Grin** and take photos and
upload. Furiously.
2. There will be NO-MOTHER-IN-LAW-PROBLEMS. She will come in, look at
how neatly you manage to cook and say, "There AIN'T no Daughter-in-law
like MY Daughter-In-Law." And you will quietly snicker while you rotate
your ladle making your superior Gajar Ka Halwa. (Which has never before
been seen by mankind).
3. It gives your daughters and sons a GOOD reason to fight over
something of yours after you are gone. (Picture this: they will take
prints of your recipes and pictures you have posted on a platform like
Cookpad, and hang it on their walls as a way to remember you by). You
will then smile down from the heavens. Aah, your children are finally
learning how to cook.
4. It brings you up in conversations more often in the acquaintances who
know you. A.k.a you become the subject of HOT gossip.
a. "Whaaat, she had that huge party and made all those dishes
herself", "Did you see that Dal Chawal, it was almost reaching
perfection point."
b. "Whaaat, he had that huge party and made all those dishes
himself", "Did you know he had made Sushi all by himself, even without
hiring a expert chef."
5. Gives you great confidence and opportunities to boast and also show
off your mad skills in a crowd when you know the meanings to crazy words
like Flambé (flahm-bay) OR Ganache (geh-nah-sh) and even tougher and
harder to pronounce words like say, Soufflé (sooo-flay) and just
imagine, Saffron (Saaf-rnn). People will just fall over like Gomez does
when Morticia speaks words in French. Your superior status in society
now gives you the universal seal of approval in saying this word like
this: To-maah-toes (Tomatoes). Guaranteed fainting of audience member is
established surely with this: Kahwa (khhe-heyy!-waa) & dal-chini
(Dhaal-Cheeeenee)
6. To give you a feeling of super head swelling'ness and heart
thumping'ness when people compliment you saying, "You NEED to be in a
show like Masterchef." (It makes giving compliments to you super easy:
Examples: Wow, this rice has boiled extremely well, OR wow, your omelet
is so yellow). You just smile and blush with pleasure.
7. Since you are so good at cooking and having a constant turnover of
endless varieties of cuisine it gives you endless number of conversation
points with every human on the planet since everyone is always eating
food and it's always on everyone's mind at least three times a
day. Assured.
8. You can rest assured that you will rock as a director of
movies
like 'The Hundred Foot Journey', 'Ratatouille', 'The Chef', the
'Lunchbox', and 'Chocolat', etc. because you of all people will know the
subject matter thoroughly. (#FoodIsLife)
9. You incidentally see other recipes on
Cookpadand then find that one extra
ingredient that they are adding into their recipe that you might never
have thought of, and then make it yourself and see the looks of wonder
on everybody's faces when they have that first succulent bite. And then
you shrug your shoulders in the most casual manner, scoff and say, it's
my "secret" ingredient. Response you get: Lots of whoas, wows, fainting
at the table, people messaging you late at night, possibly, trying to
catch you off guard while you are humming and cooking something in the
kitchen with hidden cameras and audio devices.

10. Some common dishes are made across the country. for example, simple
dal and chicken curry. But, every region prides themselves on using
different ingredients to create a unique sauce. For example, in
Assam --- They use a lot of bamboo shoot and green papaya in curries in
their home cooking. Kerala will have a lot of coconut in that same
curry, and which means that a particular dal or chicken curry has
hundreds of different flavours. You will be given access to information
like this on Cookpad, as you have hundreds and thousands of recipes on
your fingertips. Then you will become known in your locality as "The
King of Flavours" or "The Queen of Flavours" and people far and wide as
the 22nd cross road will come and try to grab that bowl of curry out of
your hand, while you frantically dial the number of every bodyguard
agency in town.
11. You can routinely start all your sentences as "The perfect way to
make this is..." and then speak with one eyebrow raised all the time.
Since that is now your normal demeanor.
12. The most complex ingredients to everything roll off your tongue like
the finest melted butter. You will stop looking at all the television
channels that have culinary programs with basic dishes. And you will
always roll your eyes and think: "What a bunch of amateurs". Your
confidence levels by this time, as a homo sapien are through the roof.
13. Anytime you have a fight with anyone in the house, you get ONE
READYMADE way to melt their heart and forgive you immediately. Big Hint:
Chocolate, cheesecake, muffin ANYTHING.
So there are endless ways to tell you that you need to start writing
