We tend to share the recipes of the cuisines we bring in our lunch. People who don’t know about cooking feels isolated among such gossip mongers.

Undoubtedly, cooking disengages our mind from our office or  personal problems and keeps it occupied in the kitchen. And if we are foodie, the pleasure that we get after tasting that food is inexplicable. The entire process, right from choosing what to cook to collecting ingredients and preparing the final dish can be a lot of fun.

There are myriad food shows and competitions held across the world where people coming from different corners present their culinary arts and make money. To name a few, Thomas Keller, Sanjeev Kapoor, Kunal Kapur are some of popular chefs who have earned name and fame by hosting various food shows and competitions.

It eliminates the dependency on others to satisfy our appetite. There are thousands of situations where we have to fend for ourselves such as in the absence of a lady or a cook in the house. The best part of cooking is that one can satisfy his cravings anytime anywhere without depending on other.

4. Effective way to impress others

In this era where people are becoming versatile, who does not want to impress others by showing their hands on cooking?  There is a famous proverb that the way to man’s heart is through his stomach! No matter how beautiful or smart a girl is, guys always melt for a girl who can whip up delicacies, especially in India. Similar is the case with females, guys with culinary skills have higher chances at impressing a girl than those who are devoid of it.

3. Food as profession

In recent decades, the number of hotels, restaurants has seen a remarkable rise. People in great number have now started choosing food as career. There is no denial from the fact that the establishment of food chains like Pizza Hut, KFC, and McDonald etc has provided employment opportunities to a huge chunk of mass.

2. Cooking as money saver

One cannot turn away his face from the increasing inflation these days. We can very well witness the hike even in daily household items. To survive in such environment, one has to either arrange for a second earning or cut short his consumption and increase the savings. When we plan to dine out in a restaurant or order food from somewhere, we not only pay for the ingredients involved but also pay for the processing, packaging, transportation charges and advertising of that product. So if we know how to cook, we can cherish the scrumptious food at almost half the price paid outside.

The very important aspect of our life, i.e, health is being ignored in this fast paced life. Whether it is a quality restaurant or a packaged food from a big brand, the hygiene we expect and the composition of ingredient we want is quite hard to achieve. Cooking enables us to keep an eye on our calorie intake and the quantity of spices and preservatives involved. Thus we can customize our food depending on our health requirement. Besides, we can eliminate the risk of food poisoning and gastroenteritis caused due to the intake of junk foods or foods sold in stalls. We can minimize the wastage of a large sum of money in seeking medical aid from our end by assuring fresh ingredients and cooking healthy food.

Ten ways to have a better conversation

Hey everyone :)

I believe that a conversation is a skill that we need to develop. It is helpful in many situations and will help you succeed in life.. So listen to the great TED talk and do through the different steps, I have a feeling that you will thank me;)

1. Don’t multitask

It’s not just about putting your phone down. You have to be present. That means parking anything else in your brain. “Don’t be half in and half out,” advises Celeste.

2. Don’t dominate

Good conversation means both people speak! It’s not a competition. “If you want to state your opinion without any opportunity for response, write a blog,” says Celeste.

3. Ask open-ended questions

That means questions that don’t result in simple answers like “yes” or “no”. Questions such as “what was it like?” or “how did it make you feel?” provoke more insightful responses.

4. Go with the flow

It’s important to not hang onto points that pop into your mind for too long. Jumping back to an old point stops the conversation taking its natural (and more interesting) course.

5. If you don’t know, say you don’t know

When asked, it’s tempting to say you know something you don’t. Doing this devalues the knowledge you do bring the table.

6. Don’t equate your story with someone else’s

Avoid reacting to someone’s experience by talking about a similar one of your own. It might seem the same, but it never is. You run the risk of missing out on their unique take on things.

7. Try not to repeat yourself

When we have a point to make, especially in work conversations, we tend to rephrase it over and over, which is “condescending and really boring”.

8. Don’t get lost in the details

Fixating on details can slow conversation to a halt. “People don’t care. What they care about is you,” says Celeste, so focus on showing “what you’re like, what you have in common”.

9. Listen

This is the most important one, says Celeste, noting that “it takes effort and energy to actually pay attention to someone.” Listen with the aim of understanding the other person, not so you can craft a witty reply.

10. Be brief and effective

Celeste ended the tips with a quote from her sister: “A good conversation is like a miniskirt; short enough to retain interest, but long enough to cover the subject.”

10 Simple Steps to Get in Shape

Hey everyone :)

To be in good shape is very important in our days, we need to pay attention to our body and health, work out and eat healthy.. To help you do that I got this list of 10 simple steps that will help you live a better life...

1. Hydrate

Drink plenty of water BEFORE you exercise. Don’t wait to drink fluids after your exercise or when your body tells you its thirsty. Make sure to get a balance of water and electrolytes prior to working out. You may not experience as much soreness. Your muscles will thank you.

2. Warm-up

Go for a ten- to fifteen-minute walk before you jump into your run, soccer scrimmage, or golf game. Walking gets the heart pumping and muscles warm.

3. Mini-workouts

Rather than going full speed, mentally prepare for a shorter workout. Start with a twenty or thirty minute workout instead of your usual sixty or ninety minute routine. You will experience less soreness giving your body the chance to exercise a few days later.

4. Interval Training

If you want to get back to a jogging routine try interval training. After your warm up do a twenty-minute walk:jog using intervals. Run for three minutes, walk for one minute and repeat until you reach twenty minutes. You will have more energy, have gotten your heart rate up, and have burned a little fat. Interval training is a fat-burning workout. You can build up over several weeks (i.e. 4:1; 5:1, etc.) This can also be applied to other workouts using speed intervals, fast:slow, on a bike, elliptical, stair climber, etc.

5. Cool Down

Finish your workout with another ten- to fifteen-minute walk or stretching routine. Now that your muscles are really warm, they appreciate a cool down. Muscles also prefer to be stretched when they are warm, which is why I recommend you stretch AFTER you work out rather than before.

6. Mix it Up

We all tend to stay in our comfort zone, returning to the same routine over and over again. So mix it up. Do the usual routine one day and try something different a couple days later. Providing balance is essential and can help decrease soreness and prevent injuries before they start.

7. Goals

Sometimes we set lofty goals or New Year’s resolutions that we never accomplish. Be realistic. Are you really going to go to the gym five days a week? Those who start out this way tend to fade and may stop going altogether. Start out one or two days a week and maintain that routine for at least a month before adding another day.

8. Exercise as a part of your daily routine

Do you live close to the grocery store, local coffee shop, or eatery? If so, walk or bike. Making exercise a part of your daily routine is easy and can make the whole experience fun rather than stressful, like sitting in your car during rush hour trying to get to the gym.

9. A Day Rest

Make sure to give your body a day’s rest. Your entire system can benefit from a day’s rest between workouts on the weekends. Not to mention, this can prevent burnout.

10. Healthy Eating

Make sure to nourish your body after you exercise with the right fuel. Have a snack that will replenish your muscles. Avoid sugary or processed foods. Eat a snack with protein as muscles thrive on protein-rich foods.
