Study holidays before exams (in hostel)

                  Our exams are gonna start in 3 days.We don't have classes because our teachers cancelled classes and gave us study holidays.But in study holidays we have to study always,we feel hungry more often...!!So last two days during study holidays I ate different stuff in a different timings.The most exciting thing was I didn't go to mess for last two days though I am staying in hostel.
                  Yesterday was most unforgettable one.I had some work in the campus so I went at 11 am.My roommate called me and asked me whether I am free.She then invited me to "Chick-In" restaurant.Its a similar place to KFC in this town.Three of us went there and ordered for 3 combos,cool drinks and cheese sticks.We returned back at 12.30 in the noon.


                 Then started studying.After sometime slept for an hour and woke up.This time my neighbour cooked Pav Bhaji in her room.I was just passing by her room,she asked me to come in and taste it.It was really yummy....!! I asked her how she made it.She showed me MTR  Ready to eat bhaji packet.I just thought it was a good idea...!


                  Then I went to campus to collect some material which might help me to refer.I came to room at 7.Now I myself felt like eating something hot because the weather outside was cold.I cooked rice in my room and borrowed Mango Avakkaaya Pickle from my friend.I and my roommate had hot pickle rice and curd rice.....


                   So this became my dinner yesterday.Then again I went to my friend's room for a group discussion.There I spent almost two hours.After coming to room I badly wanted to take a break.I watched some funny videos on youtube for sometime.Time passed away quickly and it was 1.30 am in the night.I again felt hungry.So I was just thinking what could I eat now.



                   Suddenly I remembered that I have some cooking stuff in my room.When I searched in it,I found a little amount of rice.So I and my roomie planned to cook jeera rice.Since it will easily get digested compared to other items...Then we started cooking and finished cooking at 2am.We ate jeera rice with my pickle this time,the one which my mom brought the last time she visited me.


                     Then we washed the vessels,plates and spoons.Finally we slept at 3am.I woke up at 9 am today.But jeera rice tasted excellent.I dint expect that it would be that good to taste..!!My roommate thanked me for everything with a lovable hug.....!!

11.11.11 - LSD

                Today we celebrated Levis Signature Day with all my friends.I bought a new white t-shirt like all my friends.We all gathered in campus at 3pm.All my friends who are close to heart and difficult to depart  signed on my white t-shirt.I signed on all my friends t-shirts and took many pics with my friends.I even met my lecturers and asked for their signature on my t-shirt.The most funniest thing was I planned to scare a guy who knows my friend but donno me...But ofcourse it was a big flop..!!!


                  We went on a short outing to "FLO" cafe opposite to our campus with friends.There we ordered for a pizza combo and pizzas.Later we all had a smoothies and granitas.Pizzas were damn tasty and we enjoyed it.It was our last outing because we have our final year exams from next week.We all will be busy in preparing for exams.And as it is the final year,I wanted to make as many memories as possible with all my friends especially close ones.


                      Some of my friends then went to movie "O MY FRIEND". But i did not join them due to few reasons.The primary one was I was already late to the movie...!! I have to watch it almost after half movie is over...he he he !!So I spent well today ,I am expecting this will give me enthusiasm to prepare for exams which I have from next week.....Now I seriously decided to study during weekend..Oh God Please Help Me......

Splashes of bubbles.....!

                 Yesterday I and my roommate decided to wash clothes in the night after dinner.So we soaked our clothes in warm water in the evening.All the evening we were busy with lab assignments and writing stuff, so totally forget about those clothes.


                  Then suddenly I remembered that clothes are still in water....then rushed to washing area.It was 10.30 pm and was damn cold that we both shivered with goosebumps.So we washed the clothes with hot water so that it was tolerable.

                  Suddenly my roommate started shouting,I was shocked and even got scared.....Then came a big splash of warm water with bubbles in it.Though I was bit confused what was happening,then even I did the same.We were playing almost for 20 minutes.Thereby completely got wet at the end.Then rushed to my room and changed those wet clothes and dried them outside our room....

                  The twist in the story was,I was suffering from cold for last two days.After playing in the water,I slept properly in the night and the next morning my cold was gone..!!!Still can't believe this.Thanks to my loving roomie for this wonderful medicine......!!! What a great adventure it was...!!! most unforgettable memory of my hostel life during college days....But I am feeling sad when I realize that I am gonna miss this life in another six months... :(

Innovation with groundnuts....!!!

               As this is the season for groundnuts.We get groundnuts from all our relatives and friends who have farms with this crop.So I thought, I will use my imagination to cook something with groundnuts we got this year.My cousines who visited me this evening also helped me with the recipie......Generally we will boil these groundnuts from farm in salt water which will add taste to them when we eat.Some people even fry these groundnuts and eat.

To make this innovation, I used following ingredients:
  • Groundnuts boiled and peeled - 200 gms
  • Curry leaves - a few
  • Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
  • Oil - 3 tsp
  • Turmeric - 1/2 tsp
  • Asafoetida - a pinch
  • Salt - as per taste
  • Chilly Powder - 1+1/2 tsp
  • Lemon Juice - 1 tsp
  • Grated coconut and coriander leaves - 2 tsp
 Procedure:
            
 First we need to boil the groundnuts in salt water.Then we have to peel them....


Then take a pan and pour oil and wait till it is heated,then add mustard seeds,asafoetida,turmeric powder, curry leaves and fry for 3 minutes.Now add the boiled groundnuts and mix well.After this add chilly powder and mix well for 3 minutes.
Now add the grated coconut and coriander leaves and switch off the stove.After doing this add lemon juice for taste (optional).This total process after boiling groundnuts just takes 10 minutes.One of the most easiest snack during this season.......!So this was my imagination turned to innovation....


               As it is good to look it was even good to taste.I enjoyed cooking this with my cousines.Finally we were all fighting to eat this.This is possible only because of their encouragement....Special Thanks to them. :)
So even you people can try this at home when you are free................................
