The Struggle against Social Media: My Life without Facebook

Image
I have wasted around 1000 precious hours of my small life looking at the blue-white pages of Facebook. But the sad truth is that  there is essentially nothing to watch. 

Recipe: Creamy Garlic Pasta

Image
Homemade pasta is a delight, and when it comes to creamy pasta, I can never resist the urge. After spending plenty of money at restaurants, I finally decided to give this one a try at home. Although most of my cooking experiments fail first, this one turned to be quite successful; so, sharing my experience with you all here. Here is what it looks like.

"What Do You Want to Do In Future?"

Image
"So, what do you want to do in life?" this was the common question people used to asked me when I was about to take my HSC exams. My answers used to be definite. I was younger, immature, but I had a set plan for my life. I knew what I was doing, what I was aiming for. Today I am that same girl, albeit a bit older; but when someone asks me the same question, my answer is: Error 404: Answer Not Found. Image Credit: Danilo Rizzuti at FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015!

Image
[A post on good and bad memories of 2014 and resolutions for 2015.] Another year is gone from my life. Time truly flies. This time it was literally gone with the blink of an eye. It still feels like January 2014, except I am twelve months late. Wishing you all a very happy new year, and hope that you will live your life to the fullest, achieve whatever you dream of (or at least get one step closer to achieving it) and stay healthy all through 2015.

Restaurant and Meal Review: Shwarma House (Bashundhara Branch)

Image
Pardon me if the I misspelled Shwarma . I have seen plenty of restaurants adopting the name Shawarma instead of Shwarma . I am not sure which one is correct, but the way we pronounce it, Shwarma should be the right spelling. Anyway. Let's move onto the review. This was my first visit to Shwarma House , and the occasion was Friendship Day celebration with my friends. Having heard a lot of good things about this restaurant, I had my hopes pretty high, only to be shattered by their poor service. Here are shots of the food that we ate:

30-day Playdough Challenge: Day 7: Elephant!

Image
I was supposed to do this a long time ago, but got held. So, without further excuses, let me present to you my next creation: an elephant. Those of you who have been reading this blog know that I did not have much clay to begin with, and so I had to go for blue for the elephant. I did not even have black or white for the eyes (well, I have the white. But wouldn't it look creepy without a black iris?) Here is a shot of my finished elephant:

Restaurant AND Meal Review: eat@ at Jamuna Future Park

Image
eat@ (by BRAC Chicken) launched a few days ago ( click here to visit their Facebook page ). I would probably have no clue about this restaurant whatsoever if I had not visited Aarong the other day. While checking out after shopping, they handed me a flyer that said '20% off on meals', and I thought, well, why not? Hence the visit. Although this is a comparatively new restaurant and I believed that I should not keep my hopes high, the fact that they are serving chicken made me change my mind. KFC, BFC and CP have pretty much made our expectation really high with their supreme quality of food and service, and I expected the same from this one. Here's a sneak peek of my lunch there:
