    Life is a lesson that I can learn each day. I am glad to learn from each passing moment and become wiser every day. Life, for me, has had many ups and downs, with toils and sorrows pushing me to the brink of giving up. I do not know how I can get through these, but by the grace of God and His mighty benevolence, I am holding on and thriving in His presence. It’s neither shallow nor deep; I am blessed to be surrounded by good people wherever I go.

    I have been planning to go on a long trip since last year, contemplating a road trip, but it has not materialized yet. I hope to fulfill it this year, although I don’t anticipate it happening anytime soon. Let’s hope my plans come to fruition this year.

  • Spicy fried chicken

    What’s your favorite thing to cook?
    View all responses

    One of my favorite dishes to cook is spicy fried chicken with local chili powder and salt. Occasionally, I enhance the taste with garlic and ginger paste. Here’s how I usually prepare it:

    1. Begin by boiling the chicken for about half an hour with a dash of salt and some herbs like basil, spring onion leaves, and chives roots.
    2. After boiling, separate the fleshy and bony parts. The fleshy parts can be set aside for further cooking.
    3. For the bony parts, add a bit more salt to taste and continue cooking. Alternatively, you can fry them together with the flesh. However, I prefer boiling to create a flavorful gravy that I can enjoy.
    4. Now, for the remaining fleshy part, heat and fry it with chili flakes and garlic-ginger paste. You can opt to fry it with just salt and chili as well.

    This simple recipe allows for variations in the level of spiciness and the use of herbs for added flavor. Enjoy your spicy fried chicken!

  • DELL gave me the first impression into computer world.

    The first computer I ever received was in the year 2015. It was a DELL, a generous gift from my sponsor who provided it from his old collection. I acquired it for my studies, particularly for report writing and other essential course-related work, as I pursued BSW.

    Before that, I had not attended any computer coaching, and my experience with computers was limited to sporadic classes during my school days. I had basic knowledge, knowing how to switch on the computer and do some basic Photoshop as per our school curriculum. Nevertheless, I was extremely excited about having my own computer and delved into the world of computing on my own.

    I must admit that I faced challenges in the initial phase, particularly with typing. However, I overcame this hurdle after one of my teachers recommended playing typing games to enhance my speed. Gradually, my typing skills improved, and my enthusiasm to learn and explore computers allowed me to quickly grasp various programs. Although I am not as proficient as professionals, I can manage fairly well.

  • Scared to take Financial risk

    What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

    One thing that truly terrifies me is taking financial risks. Unfortunately, I seem to have a streak of bad luck in this area, often losing money without being able to recover. Despite repeated attempts, my efforts have consistently failed. It’s possible that I haven’t found the correct approach, or perhaps I’ve been foolish enough to fall into the trap of unreliable schemes.

    Nevertheless, if I ever summon the courage to invest with a prudent approach, it would be a monumental victory for me. Overcoming this fear is a personal challenge I’ve been working on. I believe acquiring sufficient financial knowledge and understanding the right approach are key steps in conquering this fear. Through education and learning, I aim to tackle financial risks wisely and make informed investments for a more secure financial future.
