Dried Flowers and Twig Accents for Corner piece Arrangement
Good things in life come in small packets. In here, few dried flowers, small twigs and sticks are being used to make a striking centerpiece that does not wilt or sag.
Finally! Here is TED video of Jamie Oliver spelling out his wish.
Jamie Oliver’s Wish
“I wish for your help to create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspired families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.”
The situation may not be so serious in India, but the rate at which we ape food and lifestyle habits of the ‘developed nations’, we might just be the third in line. We are a nation of hypertensive, diabetic and obese people, with a host of new lifestyle related diseases are being added every year. With fast foods, frozen meals, and kitchen cupboard loaded with emulsifiers, additives and preservatives, we are almost there.
While Jamie’s talk and wish is centered around USA and England, we have some key messages to take home.

But what is his wish?
Carrot Cake Recipe for all Occasions
My kitchen has turned into a carrot cake factory since past two weeks. Requests by mom and kids to make this cake have driven me crazy. But that also gave me a great opportunity to tweak my carrot cake recipe many times to arrive at the best carrot cake ever made, atleast by me.
Nameless and Faceless – Acrylic Media on Paper
This painting, Nameless and Faceless, has been inspiredd by a photo I had seen long time back. Though I remember nothing more than that, something about it stayed on for long… its form, colors, composition and the whole emotion that it conveyed; I have tried to convey the same with a palette knife. I could never come with a name for this painting for I can never justifiy it enough. So for now it remains, Nameless and Faceless.
I would be glad if I can see that inspiring photograph once again and also get to meet the person behind it who got so many things right in a single frame.
This is one of my favorite paintings with shades of blue, browns, ochre, indigoes and black. The subject and the composition may be cliched but the knife strokes are not. For me, these are the soul behind every painting as the emotion laden strokes can never be copied or reproduced. I think thats the beauty of any original painting and that you cannot really reproduce any work of art. And if you do, it is like a beautiful body without the soul.
My friends always complain about the dark nature of my paintings. They always ask me if I can come up with something happier. 🙂 I think these paintings are just another way of celebrating life. And I do not find anything dark or depressing about them.
There seems to be more joy in these deeper shades and hues.
