From Spoiled Milk to Sweet Therapy: BCT XX1V

Ever had one of those days where everything seems to be conspiring against you? Picture this: I stumbled back home from a draining night call, craving the simple joy of a bowl of cereal with milk. But alas, 2.2 liters of spoiled milk dashed my hopes, leaving me hungry, exhausted, and downright upset.

In a moment of desperation, I dialed up a friend and invited her over to my place on her day off for some fun activity which she reluctantly accepted. Instead of dwelling on the sour milk saga, I decided to embark on a sweet adventure – making Rasgulla, a delightful Indian dessert. As we transformed the kitchen into a makeshift Rasgulla workshop, something magical unfolded.

Amidst the simmering sugar syrup and the aroma of cardamom, we found therapy in the simple act of cooking. The rhythmic motions of kneading and rolling became a form of meditation, and the bubbling syrup mirrored the release of pent-up stress. It was like turning a kitchen disaster into a culinary haven of solace.By the way thats how they looked like before we had them all!( Image below)

As the Rasgullas bobbed up in the sugary sea, we settled down for a heart-to-heart. Venting about the week's challenges became a shared catharsis, a verbal unburdening that added sweetness to our culinary escapade. In those moments of laughter, frustration, and the sweet scent of success in making Rasgulla, perspectives shifted.

What started as a gloomy evening of spoiled milk turned into a therapeutic session of culinary creation and emotional release. The change in perspective was palpable, like flipping a switch from frustration to contentment. It turns out, the remedy for a spoiled evening lies in the sweet embrace of good company, culinary creativity, and the willingness to find joy even in the unexpected twists of life.

So, here's to Rasgulla therapy and the resilience to turn a sour moment into a sweet memory. Because sometimes, all you need is a friend, a dessert, and the courage to see the sweetness even when life curdles your plans.

So far so much!
