Seven Days Experiment - Day 5

All these days i was trying to cook food items, so today i thought of preparing fresh juice. As there was watermelon at home, i decided to prepare watermelon juice. I sliced the watermelon and removed the seeds from it. Then i put those slices into the juicer, added a little water n milk. The juice was really refreshing. 

Seven Days Experiment - Day 4

Yet another day with lots of positive vibes. Today i was really confused about what to try cooking. After a while i came up with the idea of cooking potato fritters. I peeled the potato and sliced them, i also prepared chickpeas batter and added salt, chilly powder and cumin seeds . Then i dipped the potato slices into the batter and deep fried them. After they were ready, i served them hot with tomato ketchup. It was very tasty indeed. 

Seven Days Experiment - Day 3

Today i prepared tea for the first time. I always wanted to learn to prepare tea but never took it so seriously. But with this new interest of cooking gives me motivation to cook. I served the tea to my mother and sister. They were smiling at me wondering about the changes in me. It was a great experience.

Seven Days Experiment - Day 2

      Today i returned back home from college around 6.00pm. I was feeling very hungry and started looking for snacks, but then i realized this was the right opportunity for me to learn more about cooking. So i decided to cook something. I was really confused about what to cook, i opened the fridge and found some eggs. So i decided to cook omelet.
      I started chopping a little onion and green chilly, mixed it with egg, added salt and pepper powder and spread it over the frying pan. I roasted 2 slices of bread as well. It was cooked withing 5 mins. I shared it with my mom and she appreciated my efforts. I was happy and satisfied with the result. 

Seven Days Experiment - Day 1

        Through this seven days experiment i have decided to experiment on something which i haven't before on a serious note. So i have decided to experiment on my cooking skills. For the next 7 days i'm going to learn the basics of cooking under the guidance of my mom and would try my best to turn out be a good cook.
         Today was the first day so i learnt how to peel and chop vegetables and avoided wastage. I was testing my patience as the longer it was taking to peel the vegetable i was being impatient. So i decided peel the vegetables off calmly. The toughest task was chopping onions because it sheds you into tears. I wondered it was very easy to sit and eat, but chopping these onions require much more efforts. It was a good experience and i had lot of fun.

Annual review

Today, at this point of time i look back into my previous year and recall the incidents that occurred, the experiences i gained. At the beginning of every year we take up new resolutions but hardly we keep up with them. All we need to have is confidence in us and face the world boldly.

• What went well....
  As we gain maturity we start understanding things very well. I learnt the art of giving. I learnt from my every mistake and started to live life positively.
  
• What did not go well....
  At times i lost my calm and had quarrel with my friends which had created problems between me and my friends. Then i realized to keep calm, sometimes we need to keep quiet even though the other person is wrong. It makes us a better person indeed.
  
• Plans for next year....

• I would want to have more interaction with people and be social. 

• I would seize all the opportunities which would help me develop my skills. 

• I want to visit new places and explore new things. 

• I want to take part in new activities and achieve recognition and experience.

A day in the Life of Nabeel Shaikh

           Each day is a new experience. We learn new things every single day. Some days are bad while most of the days are good, it all depends on our perception. We all need to say strong and face the life confidently. Today, i would like to share about the random things i do in a day.
           I wake up everyday at 6:30am. The first thing i do login to Instagram,Facebook,Whatsapp and go through the news feed and reply to texts if i have received any. Then i go through online news and read the top stories. Then i get up from bed, i take bath and have my breakfast. After having my breakfast around 7:45am i get ready to go college. Then i leave for my college around 8:00am.
           The regular classes begins at 9:00am. I try my best to concentrate throughout the class and clear my doubts if any arises. At 12:00pm we get lunch break. I go to canteen to eat my lunch along with my friends. We return back around 12:30pm. After returning we all will be having fun in class chatting and teasing each other.
           The afternoon session starts at 1.00pm and extends till the timetable specified on that particular day. Sometimes the classes extends up to 6:00pm. After reaching home i get fresh and go out if there are any home related work to be done. After i return back home i go through things i did in the whole day and complete if there are any pending assignments. I eat my dinner around 9:30pm and around 10:00pm i go to my room. Then i go through online news and read the top stories of the day. After i'm done reading the news, i login to youtube and watch the trending videos. Before i sleep i go through social networking sites again. I usually fall asleep around 12:00am.
            So this was a day in my life, in a nutshell.
