How Monica Geller alias Monica Bing from F.R.I.E.N.D.S Inspired Me

Cooking

As we all know, Monica loves to cook and she works as a head chef. Now, I'm no chef but her cooking really inspires me to cook. I cook occasionally but I want to get into the habit of cooking daily and I think watching Monica be so passionate about it is maybe helping me. Now, there are many episodes in which Monica can be seen cooking - the holiday episodes where Monica cooks Thanksgiving food, the episode in which she cooks lasagna for her aunt's party as a favor, the episode in which she cooks for Ross's first ex-wife's wedding, the episode in which she cooks food for an interview where she has to make things with a new kind of chocolate, the episode in which she takes a cooking class after she goes to confront a food critic who wrote bad things about the food at the restaurant at which she works, etcetera. All this cooking makes me want to cook too.

Cleaning

We all know that Monica is a cleanliness freak and also an organization freak. Now I like cleanliness too but sometimes I like to keep things instead of throwing them and sometimes I procrastinate on cleaning. At these times, sometimes, I use the Monica energy to get things clean and tidy again. Like recently I cleaned a drawer, a side-table and a rack of cupboard ruthlessly and got rid of the things I did not need. I even got a brand new houseplant. So Monica has inspired me to be more clean and be proud of wanting to be clean, tidy and organized. I think this is one of the most important skills ever and we all need to start practicing it and also start becoming good at it. 

Fitness

Again, we all know, Monica was fat when she was younger and now she is all thin and slim and maintains herself to be so. I think this really inspires me and makes me believe that fat people can become thin too and that we have the control over our body and mind. We choose how we look by our actions. I too was fat when I was younger and then I lost weight after my mum put me in some extracurricular classes like tennis, dance and swimming. After some years, again I gained some weight and then lost it by intermittent fasting and portion control. I was lean again for some years and have now again gained some weight which refuses to leave even though I am controlling calories. Hoping to maybe use some Monica energy and lose that weight for good. Also, this reminds me, how great was that episode in which Monica helped Chandler to reduce weight after Phoebe pointed out that he had gained a few pounds?

Restaurants That I Ate At Recently (Part 5)

That Waffle Place I have ordered from here before through online delivery platforms but recently I went and ate at their shop for the first time. They have quite a few branches I think. We went to the one in Alwarpet. We ordered their Frozen Hot Chocolate and Belgian Biscoff Waffle. I did not taste the frozen hot chocolate but the biscoff waffle was good although it would have been better if they added biscoff biscuit crumbles along with the biscoff spread. The place also had some games like jenga which kept us entertained. Overall, I would rate the place a 4/5 stars. Maison Indulgence We went to this place recently due to the Instagram hype that it has. But unfortunately, for us, it did not live up to the hype. We felt that all the items were overpriced. We ordered the Basque cheesecake and did not like it all. Ambience was okay-ish, too noisy. I would rate this place 1/5 stars. This place is also situated in Alwarpet. Mexe Another place which is in Alwarpet - Mexe. We ordered their c

Books I Have Been Reading Recently (Part 10)

That Night by Nidhi Upadhyay I'm reading this book in a paperback format and have completed around 50 pages. The book is about four friends who played a game of Ouija while at college and a girl of their hostel died. Twenty years later someone is trying to mess with them even though they live in different parts of the world. Intriguing premise. And interesting writing style so far. I think I might like this book, let's see. The book is around 300 pages long. The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas This book is about Lina and Aaron Blackford - two colleagues who initially seemingly hate each other but somehow end up becoming each other's fake dates to some major events. I've read like 150 pages of this book so far and am finding it repetitive and boring as of now. Let's see how it goes. I might rate the book a 2/5 stars if the writing does not improve as the book progresses. Or if it improves, I might rate it 3/5 stars or 4/5 stars, let's see. Until now, the pa

Five Most Patriotic Movies on Amazon Prime Video India Right Now

Raazi This movie was a solid 4.5/5 stars in my opinion. What I liked the most about this movie is that it portrays a young girl who spies for her country against all odds. The movie is based on a true story and it shed light on the unsung heroes of Indian history. The main character Sehmat left college, married and lived in Pakistan, so that she could gain intel about the upcoming war. The intel gathered by her and other spies helped India to get prepared for the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971 and the Ghazi attack. The movie is based on a book called "Calling Sehmat." Alia Bhatt plays the role of the lead actress and she was able to represent what the real Sehmat would have felt like - scared, brave, patriotic, loving, dangerous, caring, human, selfless and a thousand more indescribable emotions. Other important characters in the movie were Sehmat's husband, her parents, her father-in-law. her brother-in-law, her brother-in-law's wife, a servant who worked in Sehmat's
