Chocolate Mousse

I was watching this delectable recipe by Nigela Lawson hence I decided to implement it. I absolutely love her charm and her simple way of cooking.. No fancy stuff and she makes it look so easy. She truly shows that cooking is all about love! This was made under 15 minutes and is the easiest thing if you are running out of time.

The things you will need are:

1. Dark chocolate buttons or bar.
2. Marshmallows.
3. heavy whipped cream.
4. Butter.


The easiest ingredients to lay your hands on and all these are under $8..

The whole procedure:

1. Take the marshmallows and dark chocolate in a pan.
2. Add butter to the above ingredients.
3. Mix it up and form and smooth paste.
4. Add water to the above mixture(A little under 1/4 cup).
5. Let the beautiful chocolate melt.
6. Add whipped cream to the above mixture.
7. Let it cool and keep it in the refrigerator for about 45 mins-1 hr.

The awesomeness is right in front of you after it is done.. You can also grate white chocolate on it for further dressing.

It is easy and very delicious.. Perfect if you have guests over and you are running out of time!

Have fun...

In the abode of life..

Many people will think I am crazy as I write such an unusual article. I was having this conversation with a friend. Well I wanted to share a note about something I feel stronger about everyday..

I watched this documentary about "How the universe was created" recently. Our sun is a DWARF star. It is fueled by the nuclear fusion reaction, in which the hydrogen atoms collide at a high velocity. This is what fuels the sun. We are hit by solar flares and we are unharmed.. The reason is that we have a molten core, which rotates and produces a magnetic field, which deflects the sun's energy.The core will cool down one day and the earth will be inhabitable. We are not permanent.It is not a coincidence that our core is protecting us.. It is not a coincidence that sun is not 100 times its present size and that the sun is not making earth an inhabitable planet already.. It is letting us thrive.. But I really don't understand why.

The stars that we watch in the night skies are biggest examples of life and its permanence. Supernova is a beautiful example of what we are. We are all made of stars is literally a true phrase. When stars explode due to the stoppage of the nuclear fusion reaction, they explode and they expel out elements . These elements help in the formation of new stars. We are a part of that and we have all those elements in us. All the gold,silver,diamonds and all the elements on earth was a part of something else. Do read up this article on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova

It always gives you a clear picture of where you are going, if you know who you are. The reason I gave these examples is that nature is a very silent and beautiful teacher. We can choose to understand or ignore its silence. We go through the birth,death cycle too. We were a part of something, got decomposed and got dissolved in the soil and here we are as a part of something else.. This is beautifully explained in the Bhagvat Gita. This may seem like a preposterous thought but it is a scientific fact. Our life may seem like it is in our control but what if it is not. What if everything has a purpose,lifespan and is prescript-ed?

So going by this logic, there is no real birth or death. We were a part of something and we are now a part of something else. It is a loop, which repeats itself constantly. Our energy form within is maybe the only true thing this life holds.

My conclusion for this article is that we were all a part of a single starting point. We are still looking for answers in theories that we read in scientific books. It is science, but science that we don't understand completely yet...

Kings Canyon

One of my quests in life is to explore new frontiers.. See unknown places and find out who I really am.. I don't want a million people's attention nor do I want to be a movie star. I would be happy all my life ambling through forests, meeting different people and exploring new and exciting things. I am basically a restless soul, and I get bored of a monotonous life(who doesn't?).
When I walked through the Kings Canyon National forest I saw nature at it's purest form. Nature is unadulterated and it has no embellishment. I am constantly seeking for happiness in friends, family and everyone around me. Does nature ask for all those things? It is so happy with itself. So satisfied, so matured and so pure..

The picture you see above is the picture of the "U" shaped valley in Kings Canyon. It is a spectacular view and eases your mind like nothing else does.

The picture to the the side was taken on our way to the mist falls. A beautiful trail, which was easily taken and not very strenuous.











The picture below shows the falls..


















We did a couple of other hikes such as the switch backs and the zumawalt meadow. They both were extremely picturesque too.

Bottom line traveling and exploring makes me really connect with the person within. Nature has very beautiful and subtle lessons. Nature is ready to teach, if you are ready to learn!
