Life of a Short Indian Girl

It's safe to say I have a huge sweet tooth and love baking. But I'm also incredibly lazy and hate long complicated recipes. Can't be bothered to bake but crave something sweet? Have an almost empty fridge? Years of searching for minimal recipes has boiled down to these brilliant ideas. Most of these recipes are my own adapted versions, but the two recipes with Nutella in I have altered from kirbiescravings. Hereth lies my ultimate guide (all 5 ingredients or less): 1) Flourless Nutella Cake What you need: 4 large eggs, 240g Nutella What to do: Beat the eggs on the highest speed in a mixer for about 6 minutes until it has tripled in volume (essential that it triples in volume otherwise the recipe won't work).  Melt the Nutella in the microwave in a large glass bowl for around 20 seconds. Add 1/3 of the egg mixture in a gently stir until no egg mixture remains. Do this for another 1/3 of the egg mixture. And the last 1/3. You must do it in 3 batches ot...

This year I've decided I need to read more books, on account of how shamefully little I read last year. My most read were Jekyll and Hyde and To Kill A Mockingbird, purely for the purpose of exams... But I thought I would mix it up a bit, seeing as it's 2015 and all that. I saw this challenge whilst reading another blog last week, so I thought I would try it out. I don't know how far I will actually get, but I will try anyway! A book I've been meaning to read-  'The Host' by Stephanie Meyer has been sitting on my book shelf since summer. I have been meaning to read it, but I keep finding other books I'd rather read so it gets pushed to the bottom of the pile.. A book published this year- The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins. I don't know much about this book, but has been compared to Gone Girl and apparently is even better! I loved Gone Girl so hopefully I will love this too. A book in the genre I don't typically re...

I'm sure some of you will relate when I say that about 80% of embarrassing times in my life have been on the bus. An inevitable part of life, some would say. I've narrowed it down to my top 5 embarrassing times, although I could go on and on... 1) My most common, and very unfortunate, problem is when I fall over as the bus is moving-or even when it's still. Why is it that bus drivers decide to speed up exactly at the time you're trying to walk down the aisle? A few weeks ago I ended up apologising profusely to an old lady for sitting on her lap. Poor woman didn't know what hit her. 2) When the bus is really busy and I am sitting towards the back, there is the dreaded moment when it gets to my stop and I have to push past a sea of people up get out. It's that awkward bum contact whilst swishing past that does it for me ...  3) Walking on the bus with multiple bags is also a nightmare. It ends up in bruising people's shoulders- or I suppose in my case...
