Lady Grouchalot finally has her own food blog! All my food rants, food adventures and whatnot will be posted on peckishme.com from now on and I cannot be more thrilled!
This food blog was years in coming and if it wasn't for our sweet web developer friend (who very graciously fit in this instantaneous request of mine in the midst of his extremely busy life, accommodated my wackiest whims and put up with my incessant nagging) this whole thing would not even have been possible. What I've been dreaming of for years, he pulled off in just two weeks! And just like I wanted it too. Kavidu, you are awesome!
On another note, foodsterous.blogspot.com/ will be no more as peckishme will take its place. Bye bye old blogger food blog! I shall miss thee nevertheless.
These days, by day I am a hardworking professional and by night, a somewhat reluctant student, bent under the weight of challenging assignments. On top of all that there are the other things that I must deal with like food blogs, poetry and a little bit of reading on the side. Life is constantly, shamelessly and unforgivingly demanding these days. I am on an adrenaline run. Juggling a highly demanding job role and a semi-secret scholarly life is somewhat complicated. I am, simply exhausted.
I have never been a fan of assignments. And these assignments are no exception. Isn't it amazing how everything else, even clipping your toenails become oh-so-engaging when faced with the task of writing an assignment? I have coined a whole lot of terms for my condition - academic lethargy, scholarly procrastination, students' block, study hunger being some of my frequently used terms. In fact, this very post is a result of my academic lethargy and scholarly procrastination.
Nothing has changed from undergrad days. NOTHING. So much for wishful thinking. Maybe, even with age and experience, some things never really improve.
Juggling life is what I do at this moment. Extreme stress period and it shows on my face. If I was to sleep 2 whole weeks, I will. Just to get a breather. Oh I am so tired.
But ah, the food blog! I still can't believe that I have one. Life was getting dull and one day I sat down and decided that I must have something that is mine and mine alone, something that makes me happy. I have realized that maintaining my own identity and having something to call my own is what it requires to be happy and content while working my socks (rather heels) off to make someone else's dreams come true. (Not that it is necessarily a bad thing, but some of us have a conscience that asks us strange questions sometimes) Having a child was not an option and neither is the novel I am writing coming out anytime soon. Hence Peckishme. com. My online baby :)
Right now, life is a mixture of the good and bad, the challenging, the unbearable and the sweet moments that make it all worthwhile. I am grateful for my support system, the handful of loved ones who have always been and will always be there for me. Right now, the rest of the world is one big, blurry haze and I don't really care. And the heat isn't helping either! Oh well, here's to cooler climes, friendlier, more humane colleagues and lesser assignments in the future. Here's to a more chilled out future. God knows I badly need one.

Much liked the new site, very pretty except I must say that it's a little slow, even over the fastest wifi connection at work :(
Thank you. I am glad you liked the site.
Oh...thank you for letting me know. I shall let my friendly developer know about the loading time. I'm sure he can address it :)
