Ich habe nicht nur mein Lieblingsschema des Lebens geopfert, sondern auch die sanfteren Neigungen des Herzens und meine Aussichten für häusliches Glück, und ich bin bereit, mein Leben auch mit Fröhlichkeit zu opfern, wenn diese Verwerfung Frieden und guten Willen unter den Menschen wiederherstellen kann .

I love cooking, and I can make real good rajma chawal. It is a time consuming process and only for the consumption of a select few very special people. Also, I can make delicious mutton biryani, but I must confess I have stolen the recipe from my mother.
