The title says it all. I’ve made a huge mistake and I’m not sure right now if that can be reversed or not. I shift+deleted the entire 5gb folder of my Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan collection!!!!!!!!! How did this happen? Well, the great organizer that I am, I was organizing some files and folders and transferring them between my new hard drive and the older ones. I checked to make sure that this particular named folder was there on my new HDD, which it was, so I deleted the older …

Absar’s mousse misadventure kinda motivated me to cook something for dinner tonight. It’s always a risky business at a full house dinner when your item is supposed to form a part of the main course (we usually have one course dinners anyways :D); the risk being that everyone is relying on you and your cooking skills for food!!

This budding star in out family is my maternal cousin, around 7 months old, living in Dubai. Not only is he cute, he is smart, witty and …
