Hugging with letters

Gone are the days when we recieved or sent cards. Birthday,christmas,diwali...even friendship day cards. I use to fall in love with them. I used to even hang the cards from one end to the other with a thread in my room! I have kept all those safe with me. My most treasured possessions . Yeah I know it sounds kiddish! But I cannot explain how much I love cards & letters !! It also serves as an historical record ! Imagine your great grandchildren finding these cards. They will be able to travel back to your world. They get a peek into your creative side. You are indirectly passing on a message to them.....' How to value relationships' !!! .Nothing more satisfying than seeing a greeting card addressed in your name in the mailbox when your eyes are tired of seeing the bills &magazines ! Sending a message on whatsapp or fb might be easier ( anyone can do that) but the joy in a person's face when they get a card or a letter just cannot be masked. Just the thought that someone took the effort to go to a shop to buy you a card .., took the pain to find your address ,write it down and post it makes you feel good. The sweat and blood ( blood... Well... sorry for the exaggeration . ) that goes in it can't be put to words ! ... Now no one takes the pain. No one has the time . Yet everyone has time for everything else.Crazy right? There was a time when people sent e-cards. I guess that season is over as well. I would prefer a personalized handmade card any day than any expensive gift ! Unless you sent a card... You will not receive one ! So let's start sending cards to our friends . It’s up to you take the initiative and begin! I started ....hope you will too :)

Name: Bittu Jacob Owner of Baked for you by Bittu 1. Why did you pursue baking as career? During my school days I enjoyed baking with my ‘Amma’. After getting married I used to bake occasionally at home and when we had guests at home. On my son’s 5 th birthday, I decided to make a fire truck shaped fondant cake. It was my very first attempt baking a fondant cake from scratch. When my family saw the cake they were quite impressed. To be honest the cake tasted lovely but it was not like those very neat fondant cakes . My family encouraged me to level up my skill by attending cake décor classes. So I attended a class and learned the basics of cake decoration. Even at that point of time I never thought of taking this up professionally. That same year (2016) in the month of December my Appa asked me to bake 10 cakes to gift his friends. I was nervous about this but my Appa had full confidence in me. He convinced...

It was another day at middle school. I still had not made any friends. Well , the truth is I really tried but no one wanted to be my friend. It was lunch time and I was looking for a place to sit in the cafeteria. This is one thing I dread the most. Everyone had a group of friends of their own. The popular group sat in the corner. They were the cheerleaders, basketball players, kids with good looks (most of them wore makeup so cannot really tell if they were really good looking) and then there were the rich kids who only wore only branded clothes , shoes. I certainly did not belong there because I didn’t have the skinny body type which those cheerleaders had. Forget sports. I cannot even do ten push-ups straight. I wore clothes which I got on sale from JCpenny and not Ar...
