It may seem silly, very silly when I say it doesn’t have to make sense all the time…….. Trying to be perfect, trying to be sensible, pretending intelligent or being really intelligent, blah, blah, blah. What I meant is that we don’t have to be uptight and taut. Can let go and be at ease. I like it, I love it when I am interrupted and asked “Do you know what you are talking or doing??”

Sometimes it feels good to be silly, or saying or doing something that does not make sense at all.
Being silly, behaving silly with who cares attitude helps us to let our self free. Just because I am saying this does not mean you do it anywhere and everywhere. Be yourself when among your dear friends, who are not there to judge you but to join you.

There is a naughty side in everybody, and that side just wants to do things even though it knows it’s not right, like the 2 yr olds.

We are all getting old and stiff trying to portray, a disciplined self, but deep inside everybody wants to let loose, chill out and celebrate once a while.

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity. Christopher Morley

By just being silly, some matters can be handled with ease. Especially kids, they get close to elders who are willing to be one of them, understand them and teach them the way they understand.

It’s very simple, kids come fast to you when you kneel and call them at their eye level rather than standing. We have been there in their shoes, just takes a little time to realize. Why do we have to simply follow what we have been seeing rather then what we really want. Being silly would only help at the right time not always. Be careful….silly me, as always!!!!

A recipe I changed, which made it easy to cook faster so that this lazy could have more time to be silly.

Easy Mutton Korma

Mutton, meat from goat or lamb. It is a good source of Niacin, Iron, Phosphorus and Zinc, and a very  good source of Protein, Vitamin B12 and Selenium.
The bad part, it is high in Saturated Fat and  Cholesterol.

I would say anything in moderate is always good. My favorite food, need it atleast once a week. It would sound really silly, it was a deal DV made with me, I would get to eat mutton once a week, every week, and that’s still on.
