I made a cake finally and I can only say it was better than the bitter muffins I had made last month. Everybody was supportive of course, including my son who suggested we increase its 'appeal' by eating it with ice-cream. Great idea indeed! I only hope practice indeed makes man perfect.
While at it, I remembered that almost all the great chefs/bakers that appear in The Hindu's Metroplus happen to have left a plum IT job to pursue their culinary passion. I'm getting irritated with it. Was the job really so good? Did they not like their job or was it the other way round too? I see so many of them in workplace everyday who come just to finish the hours and go home. May be they were one of those people! I think people don't give software jobs the credit they deserve - they are mostly stable, flexible and not taxing for an average worker. I love my job most times and I don't think it's beneath my dignity to admit it.
