4 Takeaways from 2021

This year I slowly learned..

1. To let go of ALL the FEARS which was stopping me from being my BEST SELF. The biggest obstacle in front of me was "ME"(slow clap). Yes, I was standing in my own way. I doubted myself. I didn't realize my true potential because I couldn't see it. I was in a safe place. I didn't want any changes. It was cozy to be in this safe haven but deep down I knew very well that great things won't come from comfort zones. I wasn't ready to take risks yet every night when I went to bed I felt like something was missing. I felt my days were unproductive. I felt my creative side would just rot.

2.I learned that more than hard work or motivation it is Consistency and discipline which will take you places. Of course Discipline> Consistency.

3.I learned that acknowledging and embracing the blessings that I have will lead to abundance instead of worrying and whining about what I don't have.

4.Learned to give Thanks to Christ my savior every day for this life. It is he who gives me peace, health and happiness. I need nothing more.

His Final Message to the World: Don’t Give Up on Your Dream”

My father’s brother — our dearest Lalu Uncle — went to be with the Lord in October 2025. He had travelled to Delhi to deliver this TEDx talk, but sadly, he never got the chance. He passed away before he could step onto that stage. If he had delivered this speech, it would have been one of the most inspiring and viral talks of all time. Take just 2 minutes to read through his incredible testimony — a journey of failure, faith, resilience, and destiny. The last speech Abraham Zachariah prepared – to deliver at TEDx I didn’t go to school. I was sent to school. Hence, for 10th standard, marks were very low and I could get admission only for Commerce group, as no one wanted (is 55 years ago) in my home state Kerala. My mother was very upset as my cousins and friends got into Science groups and she pushed me into Commerce Group. I was used to tell everyone that “Useless fellow, useless fellow, useless fellow are in Commerce Group and all the useless ones are in commerce group.” She was...

“When Love Becomes a Language”

It has been 9 years since I married Rohit and became a part of this beautiful family, and in that time I came to know Amma as an all-rounder. I remember once asking Appa about the collection of awards in the showcase, and he told me that most of them belonged to Amma. From writing to creative thinking, to receiving “Best Employee” awards at Cochin Refinery.. ( thats wher she worked) —she was always at the top in everything she did. I even came across her handwritten recipe book, filled with recipes for many dishes including doughnuts which was uncommon back then. Every page was written with neat handwriting and exact measurements. Rohit often told me how Saturdays at home were almost like a feast when Amma would prepare a variety of new dishes for the family. Food was her love language and she found joy in serving the family. Amma had a way of finding cute coincidences. Amma told me soemthig she had figured out. she told that all the daughter in laws of the house....

Follow your Passion, It will lead you to Success!

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...
