Heritage Day Recipe

I spent Heritage day 2010 with my mum in the kitchen, making the Indian version of Med-Lemon, also known as king soup. While the secret to the great family recipe was cremated with my late grandmother {who could turn anything into a feast}, this recipe is a close second. And yes, it works to sooth a sore throat and makes you sweat away a cold, before you know it, you’re flu free and as good as new..

Desire...

Every human being experiences his or her own desire, it is part of our personal treasure and, although as an emotion, it can drive people away, generally speaking, it brings those who are important to us closer. It is an emotion by the soul, and it is so intense that it can infect everything and anyone around me.

Every day I try to choose the truth by which I live. I try to be practical, efficient professional. But I would like to be able always to choose desire as my companion. Not out of obligation, not to lessen my loneliness, but because it is good. Yes, very good.
