I hate cooking. Each day when I wake up and look at my kitchen, the first thought that I get is to run away as far as my legs take me. Honestly speaking I am not a 'bad' cook but a 'reluctant' cook. Whenever I cook the food is not tasteless, yucky, burnt or salty … Continue reading I hate Cooking #MondayMusing

But, Alas!! Nobody writes such a letter these … Continue reading The Lost Joy of Letter Writing #MondayMusings
