DAY:5

After surprising myself by waking up early for two consequent days, today I gave into my sleep.  It was 12:30 in the afternoon. I was sound asleep enjoying my dreams, unaware of my surroundings. I suddenly woke up screaming for Amma, terrified from an explosive sound from the kitchen, but my body still felt paralyzed, and thoughts of what might have happened horrified me. When I manged to come to my senses, I rushed to the hall, the house filled with commotion. Somebody was ringing the doorbell, Pablo was barking to his full capacity, Amma and Chechi doing all possible things to calm him down. Finally Amma managed to open the door, it was the housekeeping enquiring something about the waste, once she left, Amma closed the door, Pablo calmed down, and I got a chance to ask Amma of the sound that send chills through my neck.

    Amma had left the cooker on the stove to cook rice, and got distracted by an important call. The water in the cooker started to evaporate, increasing the pressure, and BOOM the cooker burst.... Thankfully no one was in the kitchen. Glad that everyone was safe and well, I went into the kitchen to inspect the situation there. The mess in the kitchen was way worse than I expected.... The neat freak I am, to me the sight was unbearable, and I got to work. Once I was done, impressed by the now sparkling kitchen, I went to have lunch with the her majesty, the queen of England. I switched the TV on and sat to watch "The CROWN".

      In the evening Chechi had decided to come out of her hibernation, she was surprisingly excited. I didn't realize that this excitement of hers was because she had just schemed the ultimate plan to make our efforts of losing weight go down the drain.

      Chechi bakes the most mouth watering cookies in the entire world, the perfect crispy outside with the divine chewy inside. And these cookies are my biggest weakness. You can never stop at one. Not that she actually got to baking them, she was just in the planning process, yet just the thought of them made me go weak.
