Happy birthday to my darling daughter"Anushka"(well this one's coming over six months late...been quiet busy)...we celebrated Anushka's first birthday in a very simple manner unlike everyone else, at an ashram(orphanage) in kerela, well actually a home for the mentally challenged and we celebrated it among all of them..and when it was time for the 2nd birthday i was pretty much in two mind's as to whether we should have a party or not(since she was very small and would never understand a birthday)...then i came across this article on the babycenter website and they said...just so the child could understand the fact that she/he is special and at the same time not to overwhelm a child as lil as a 2yr old...you must try and keep the party a very short affair and whatever the number of the birthday = that many children and that's exactly what we just did..!!

" i kept trying until i continued to succeed(psst: just to ensure i'm doing it perfectly right)..!!  Finally I've succeeded & so proud to shout it out loud to the world...i managed to bake the most "Mmmm..moist Eggless WWF Sponge Cake"...). It's been such a hit at my place that I've already baked it thrice in 3days in a row (I swear i'm just not exaggerating one bite..sorry bit..;) and also tried my new experiment "Basic Eggless WWF-Oatmeal & Chocolate Loaf Cake"...Well that recipe will follow soon though..!! Baking a cake always takes me through the nostalgia of school days where we learnt the famous nursery rhyme " ...
