It is a rare thing for me to bake the same cake more than once within a short time interval as there are so many recipes out there waiting for me to explore. However, I made this cake not twice, not thrice, but a total of 4 times in a month.
So, what makes me go back to the same recipe again and again? The possible reasons are: either I failed the first time, and I die die must get it right on the next attempt, or, I wanted to experiment and play around with the ingredients; or the cake is simply so delicious and easy to put together that it will be the first thing that comes to my mind whenever I have the urge to bake something!
I got this banana sponge cake right the first time, even though I played around with the ingredients...I increased the amount of banana and cut down on the sugar a little. The finished cake was very well received. Even though it was only my second attempt, I baked this same cake and gave it away when I wanted to return a kind gesture. I was lucky that the cake was well baked, at least the exterior looks well baked, all nicely browned. My friend, whom I have yet to meet in person, (we have angels to provide free delivery service for us) was kind enough not to give a single negative comment, other than it was slightly on the sweet side and very banana-y. It turn out that she has made this exact same cake before!
On my third attempt, I tweak the recipe a little and made a chocolate version out of it. On my latest endeavour, I cut down even more sugar. I must have felt overly confident, and did another bold change to the recipe...I replaced a small portion of the oil with milk as I feel that the cake is slightly too oily.
The latest version is still as soft and fluffy, and I find the sweetness just right. From the crumb, it looks like a slice of pound cake, however, it is quite light, not dense at all. The texture is almost close to a chiffon cake, although it has got more 'bite' to it. This sponge cake uses a lot more oil compared to most sponge cake recipes I have come across. As a result, the cake stays moist and is delicious eaten plain on its own...there is no need to jazz it up with layers of cream.
The way I went about making the cake is slightly different from the original recipe. I took an extra step here and there just to make sure I get the folding of the flour and the oil right. If you are an experienced baker, do hop over to Wen's blog for the original recipe, if you are as gung ho as me, feel free to try out my version...which I am afraid, for the time being, comes with no guarantee of success ;)
Happy Baking!
Banana Sponge Cake
(makes one 8" round cake)
3 large eggs, room temperature
100g caster sugar (original recipe uses 150g)
250g to 300g bananas (3 large ripened bananas, cut into chunks)
150g cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
80ml vegetable oil (original recipe uses 100ml)
20ml milk (I used low fat fresh milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Grease (with butter) and flour sides of an 8" round pan, line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Sieve together cake flour, baking powder and baking soda. Sieve the flour mixture twice and set it aside.
- Place vegetable oil, milk and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl, set aside.
- Place eggs, caster sugar and bananas in a large mixing bowl. With an electric whisk, whisk the mixture at Low speed for a few seconds (to break up the bananas). Change to medium-high speed, and whisk the mixture till it becomes thick, pale and triple in volume. This should take around 7 to 8 mins. The batter should leave a ribbon like trail when the paddle is lifted. Test by lifting up the whisk/paddle, and draw an '8' with the batter. The number should stay for a few seconds. Turn to Low speed again, and beat for another 2 mins. This is to stablise the air bubbles in the batter. (Note: do not over beat the batter...it is not a good thing if the '8' doesn't disappear.)
- Sieve over the flour mixture in 3 separate additions. Each time Fold In the flour carefully with a Spatula, making sure there is no pockets of flour being trapped at the bottom of the bowl. Do not stir the batter with the spatula, it will cause the batter to deflate too much.
- Pour a small portion (less than 1/3) of the batter into the mixing bowl in Step 3. Fold in with the spatula until the oil mixture is fully incorporated into the batter.
- Pour the mixture in Step 6 back into the rest of the batter (Step 5).
- Fold in the batter with the spatula making sure the mixture is well combined. (By now the batter could be deflated by about 20% or so as compared to Step 4).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, the pan should be about 3/4 full.
- Bake in preheated oven at 160 degC for 40-45mins or until the surface turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. (The edges of the cake should pull away slightly from the sides of the pan.) Remove from oven, unmold and leave to cool (inverted) on a cooling rack.

Business jets and services
Bombardier reinforces its Customer Services network in Latin America with the inauguration of a Regional Support Office in Toluca, Mexico
- Significant step forward to reaffirm company's dedication to business aircraft operators in the region
- 22nd Bombardier Regional Support Office (RSO) to open within a worldwide network supporting business and commercial aircraft
- Second Bombardier RSO dedicated to the Latin America region
Bombardier Aerospace continues to enhance its aftermarket support worldwide by opening a new Regional Support Office (RSO) in Toluca, Mexico. The office will anchor regional support capabilities for Bombardier business aircraft customers throughout Mexico, and surrounding areas.
The new RSO is located alongside Bombardier's new business aircraft sales team within the modern Assertec fixed based operation (FBO) at the Toluca airport. The office will be home to three field service representatives (FSR), one sales director, one RSO administrative assistant and one RSO Manager. This local presence provides customers with an additional level of support in conjunction with Bombardier's extensive parts and maintenance network of wholly owned service centres and authorized service facilities (ASF), as well as its expert in-service engineering teams and 24/7 Customer Response Centres.
"Latin America is an important region for Bombardier with a large number of existing Bombardier business aircraft operators," said Michel Ouellette, President, Bombardier Customer Services and Specialized and Amphibious Aircraft. "By opening our second RSO within Latin America, we will strengthen the support presence on the ground. It is a true example of our commitment to building lasting relationships with existing and potential customers, as well as establishing local roots in the markets where our aircraft operate."
Bombardier's latest market forecast for the aviation industry predicts a total delivery of 2,300 business jet deliveries destined for Latin America over the next 20 years. To date, Bombardier has a total of 470 business aircraft jets based in the region. The Toluca RSO will provide expertise and support to local business aircraft customers, as well as customers flying into the region.
Bombardier has been actively expanding its support network to bring services closer to its growing international customer base. This new addition is part of a network that now has a total of 22 RSOs, serving both business and commercial aircraft, located in countries such as Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and United States of America. The Toluca, Mexico RSO joins the São Paulo, Brazil RSO, as the second office to support business aircraft in Latin America. The São Paulo, Brazil office joined the Bombardier Customer Services network in 2011.

Celery Soup - Foodie Friday
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I began the effort to "green" my kitchen several years ago. One of the areas I knew needed to be addressed was the amount of waste I generated as I prepared and cooked our meals. I began with an honest evaluation of food that was purchased and never used, or food that went bad before it could be used. I also took a look at leftovers that spoiled before they made it back to our table. The first thing I addressed was "right sizing" the number and size of portions I prepared for our meals. Recipes were sized to feed two or create planned leftovers. The harder part was identifying the true waste lurking in the refrigerator. For whatever reason, my vegetable crispers always held some food that seemed destined for the garbage can. I was especially bad with things like green onions, peppers and celery. It took some doing, and a lot of planning, but I eventually got to the point where what was purchased was eaten. Celery was my biggest problem. I would use a stalk or two but had no plan to use what remained. At one time I had the same problem with carrots. I solved that by searching out recipes that would finish the bunch before week's end. While it was harder with celery, I used the same approach and eventually found ways to use it. This light and simple soup is one of the recipes I use to make sure that my celery doesn't go to waste. I like, whenever possible, to add chopped fresh fennel to the soup pot along with the celery. The flavors are compatible because they come from the same plant family. While it's listed as an optional ingredient, celery salt adds enormously to the flavor the soup. As you scan the ingredient list you'll see that this is a perfect vegan meal. The soup can be table ready in an hour. It is too light to serve as a dinner entree, but it's perfect for lunch or a first course and it's great for company. You'll find that the celery is too stringy for an immersion blender to do its job. It really is best to use a blender or food processor and then strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve. The flavor of the soup improves as it sits, so I try to make this a day before I plan to serve it. Here's the recipe.
Celery Soup...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of the Los Angeles Times
3 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
1-1/2 cups diced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 large baking potato, cut in 1/2-inch dice to yield 2 cups
10 stalks of celery, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch dice to yield 6 cups
1 small bulb fennel, trimmed, core and chopped (optional)
5 cups reduced-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar vinegar
1 teaspoon celery salt (optional) or table salt to taste
1 large pinch pepper
2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
Celery leaves for garnish
1) Place oil or butter in a soup pot. Add onion and cook over medium heat until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2) Add potatoes, celery and fennel (if using). Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
3) Puree soup in batches using a blender or food processor. Pass puree through a strainer, pressing solids with the back of a spoon.
4) Return to a clean pot. Add pepper and celery or table salt. Stir in cream if using. Bring soup to a simmer and keep warm over low heat until ready to serve. Yield: 4 to 6 servings.

Celery tends to sit in my crisper also, in fact there is some there right now! This soup looks delicious and such a good idea to use it up.

This must be a really delicious soup! Celery is one of my favorite veggies and apparently I read that it's good for maintaining a balanced blood pressure.

You are so right about vegetables ending up being waste...good thing I have chickens, that way I can't feel too badly because they give me eggs , thus converting "waste" to eggs allows me to feel somewhat justified. However, it does end up being expensive chicken food. I love celery and this does sound and look like a winner in my kitchen.

Hi Mary~ ~
Not fond of the taste of celery. I tend to use it sparingly in my cooking so when I buy a bunch I will put the leaf ends into a plastic bag and freeze them. I will freeze about 3 inches of the ends with the leaves because I like them in soups. When I need a little celery I open the bag and pull out a piece or two. They do not freeze into a clump. The leaves help to keep them seperate so it's easy to use only what I need.
Have you tried freezing your celery? - October 23, 2009 at 9:48 AM
- bj said...
I will sure give this one a try. I love soups of any kind.
Leftovers and fresh veggies seldom go to waste around here. I make what my mama called IceBox Stew..even in the summertime. It freezes so well and i do love having my freezer full of meals.
Seems the one thing that goes to waste with me is about a half head of cabbage. We love it but can never eat the whole thing...I don't buy it too often .
Thanks so much for all your good recipes, Mary. Have a blessed day. - October 23, 2009 at 9:54 AM
- Mary Bergfeld said...
Ahrisha. I never tried tofreeze it for fear the texture would dramatically change. I'll do a test run next time I have a stalk or two left over. Thanks for the suggestion.

Your combination of celery and fennel sounds delish, Mary. I have the same problem with waste, especially when my eyes are bigger than my stomach at my farmers market. It's so easy to over buy.

- Karen at Nittany Inspirations said...
There is just the two of us and so many fruit and vegetables get thrown away. I purchased the Debbie Meyer Green Bags. They really do work in extending the life of produce and have paid for themselves.
Thanks for your nice comment. It's a real compliment coming from an expert cook. - October 23, 2009 at 11:44 AM

Mary, I'm always trying to use up my celery...it usually goes into chicken soup... so I thank you for this new recipe to try. It looks luscious!

Hi Mary!
I have to confess, during the summer months I slacked off so much when it comes to utilizing all the leftover. But, now that cooler weather is here and we are starting into the "nesting" part of the year, I am really challenging myself to not waste food.
I try, once a week, to toss all the veggies that are starting to go soft that I know I won't use into a pot with water and herbs and simmer to make a veggie stock. Occasionally I will do this and then throw all of it in a blender and make a thick veggie soup base to freeze.
This recipe is a great idea for celery! It sounds easy to make, which is always good around here! LOL Also, celery is one of the cheapest veggies throughout the year.
I have a question, we grow fennel but, not the big bulb kind. So, I don't have fennel bulbs. Do you think fennel leaves would give it the same (or close) flavoring?
Thanks for the recipe!
have a great day!
Diann :) - October 23, 2009 at 12:02 PM

Now this looks just lovely - the green is striking - and I bet the flavor beats the dickens out of that old canned stuff! A must try... Nancy

Good idea since I can't tell you how many heads of celery I end up tossing out each month. I have tried every trick in the book to keep it crisp in my veggie bin but after a week it looks pathetic.
Joyce - October 23, 2009 at 1:03 PM
- Mary Bergfeld said...
Diann, Re: fennel. It's been my experience that the fennel you are describing isn't much used because there not much to eat. Because everything is pureed in this soup it might work here and would certainly do no harm. Don't use the fronds, but go ahead and add about a cup of the chopped stems and see what happens.

Oh I try not to be wasteful but I never know who will be eating and when. Who will be in town or dropping in to clean out the fridge on their lunch break from work.
I do have celery and fennel in the fridge most of the time. What do I waste most? Cucumbers. - October 23, 2009 at 7:56 PM

Mary I do not know if you already know this but if you wrap celery in paper towel and then in aluminum foil, it keeps a long time. Since its part of the food trinity I always have it. Since doing this little trick I find it stays around a lot longer.

Well I tried to be good this afternoon, Mary, and use up the celery but something is wrong with my fridge all of a sudden and it was mostly frozen. Some of my other stuff is too. I don't know what is wrong because nothing has changed. The fridge is not old so this had better be temporary.
So now my soup has no celery but I did add some carrots. I won't tell if you won't. - October 25, 2009 at 6:29 PM
I have celery left over in my crisper too - that prompted a search for a recipe to use it up. The search has ended now with both hubby and I licking our bowls clean! This recipe is so simple, yet so delicious. Its a keeper, thanks for posting.

Where Can I Buy Hemp Flower in Argyle Texas
Click Here to view Hemp Flower available in Argyle, TX
Hemp flower or CBD Flower is often confused with marijuana (THC flower/buds), but it is not the same, and does not produce the same end product. Although Hemp Flower may look and smell similar to regular THC-cannabis flowers, their chemical structure, cannabinoid content, and terpene profiles are quite different.
An important difference between the two is that Industrial Hemp flower contains 0.3% Delta 9 THC (the active, psychoactive form of THC) or less, and is non-psychoactive due to these extremely low levels. This means that when consumed, Hemp flower WILL NOT get you high (The classic effect associated with those who use THC-cannabis products) Although it wont get you high, Hemp flower seems to induce relaxation and other mild effects in users due to it containing CBD and other cannabinoids/compounds, contributing to what is known as "the entourage effect".
The entourage effect states that when the various components of the hemp plant are consumed together and synergistically, rather then isolated and used alone, its effects are greatly magnified and noticeably increased. This in turn increases the impact of the whole plant, allowing it to be stronger than the sum of its parts. CBD American Shaman of Flower Mound offers CBD HEMP flowers & extracts that are truly whole plant, containing the full spectrum of cannabinoids and other beneficial compounds. Our products are 50 state legal, and can be shipped virtually anywhere, including other countries that have legalized CBD and Hemp based products.
Our CBD Hemp Flowers are grown organically in environmentally controlled indoor environments. This allows us to create the perfect environment for the plants to thrive and reach their highest potential, while also allowing us to produce harvests all year round, as opposed to once a year like other large outdoor cultivators. These methods result in a superior, fresher, more potent, and unrivaled end product, the highest quality CBD Hemp flower available today.
All of our flowers are harvested and trimmed by hand, after which they go through an extensive testing and cure processes to ensure safety, legal compliance, and to confirm the quality is up to our high standards.
What Is CBD Hemp Flower
Hemp and marijuana are from the same plant—Cannabis Sativa. The only difference between these substances is the dominant cannabinoid. If the dominant cannabinoid is THC, it is marijuana, but if it's one of the non-intoxicating cannabinoids, such as CBD, CBG, or CBN, then it's hemp.
Just like all other forms of cannabis, hemp also produces large flowers called colas at the end of its life cycle. These colas smell and look just like the buds that grow on marijuana plants. Even though the THC levels in hemp colas are less than 0.3%, some hemp strains now bear more than 25% CBD. We've truly reached the era of high-grade American hemp, which is much better quality then the Chinese and European cannabis.
Just because hemp flower is grown in the States now doesn't mean it's all high-grade, though. It takes time, effort, and dedication to produce the type of premium flower that we offer at CBD American Shaman of Flower Mound. Cannabis is a fickle species regardless, and only with the right balance of wisdom and love can you bring the hemp plant to its true, crystallized potential.
How Is Hemp Flower Used?
CBD hemp flower effects vary from person to person. However, people tend to use non-intoxicating cannabis for the same reasons. In recent years, CBD has gotten a reputation of a miracle cure, and we certainly don't want to diminish the power of this incredible, natural substance. Understanding why people use CBD flower beyond the mere hype will help you during your own journey with non-intoxicating cannabis.
Some people use -CBD American Shaman of Flower Mound hemp flower just to relax and unwind in the same way that they use intoxicating forms of cannabis. Others choose hemp flower as a solution to serious conditions after taking a look at the Research Surrounding CBD and the other non-intoxicating cannabinoids.
More than anything, however, our customers are drawn together by a deep-set love for Cannabis sativa and everything that it has to offer. In this day and age, there's no reason our cannabis shouldn't be as personalized as our cars and smartphones—premium CBD Hemp Flower retailers like CBD American Shaman of Flower Mound are making the high optional while they elevate premium cannabis to an even better standard.
Premium Hemp Flower Is Better!
If you went to high school between from the 60's to 2010, you probably have memories of hastily hidden bags of… well, it looked a lot like oregano. The weed your brother smoked in his room with a towel at the door doesn't hold a candle to the kind of premium cannabis flower that started becoming widely available when the first states legalized marijuana circa 2012. Critics of the cannabis industry are concerned at just how premium cannabis has become—today's marijuana has many times the amount of THC compared to cannabis produced 50 years ago.
While greater concentrations of an already intoxicating substance should always be treated cautiously, many commentators have missed the impact that high-grade recreational and medical marijuana have had on the emerging non-hemp cannabinoid field. At the same time that it became possible to breed marijuana with higher and higher concentrations of THC, it also became possible to grow hemp with increasingly greater amounts of CBD.
Premium hemp flower is denser, it has more crystals, it has more hairs, it smells better, and it tastes better. Everything about high-grade hemp flower is improved compared to the type of material producers were forced to work with even five years ago, and in some cases, non-intoxicating CBD flower is grown better than the THC equivalent.
While even the biggest recreational marijuana companies only have access to the consumers in one state, online companies like CBD American Shaman of Flower Mound can reach all 50 states simultaneously. More business means more investment, and more investment means better products. CBD American Shaman of Flower Mound offers better hemp flower because we've listened to our customers requests.
How Does A Customer Choose The Best CBD Flower
Just like there are lots of different recreational cannabis growers, there are also a handful of different CBD flower companies. As anyone who has shopped the recreational or medical marijuana markets knows, however, there's a huge disparity in quality between top-shelf companies and producers at the bottom of the spectrum. You already know that CBD American Shaman of Flower Mound is the #1 Hemp Flower retailer, but here's some more evidence for you to consider:
Lab Tests
Good hemp flower companies care about transparency because they know that honesty is the best business policy. Keep an eye out for CBD flower producers who are clearly only in it for short-term benefits, and separate the premium hemp flower from the trash by learning how to read CBD lab tests.
Useful hemp lab reports contain information on the concentration of each major cannabinoid, and they also list out the terpenes and other cannabis oils that are present. Most importantly, thorough, independent lab tests also detect common toxins, so testing is necessary to make sure you're getting safe high-quality hemp.
Customer Reviews
Whether it's on our Website or Google Maps, you trust customer reviews almost more than you trust your own nose. When hundreds of customers reach a similar consensus on a product line, that's a better endorsement than thousands of lines of marketing copy could achieve.
Customers across the country are incredibly impressed with CBD American Shaman of Frisco's premium flower, and there's only so much you can spin customer feedback to your advantage. We're the real deal, and our customers know it.
Product Quality
Have you ever seen a bad sample of our hemp flower? Even our customer-upload pictures in our review sections look just like the nug shots we posted, which proves that what we advertise and what we offer are the same thing.
Sink into the product information we offer on every page. Where else can you find 100%-organic, full-spectrum hemp flower with strains pushing 25% CBD? We strive to inform more and more people to the effects available from this non-intoxicating power house all-natural plant.

Please consult the Firewall manufacturer or Documentation for specific instructions on how to configure your firewall to allow multicast information through. Why do I have to login every time I try to watch a video? You are trying to watch the videos without logging into the site. You need to login in the upper left hand corner of the video portal. Once you have logged in there, you won't have to enter your login id and password every time you try to watch a video. The video doesn't look very good: Most issues with video quality are related to bandwidth issues. Please check to make sure that no other devices are using bandwidth resources, and that you do not have any other programs running that could reduce your bandwidth, such as peer to peer downloads, torrents, or live updating anti-virus programs. In order to view video, users should have a minimum download speed of 1.5 Mbps. Click the links below to test your bandwidth. Why can I access the content at home but not while at work, a hotel, school, etc.? Your work, school, or the hotel could have network settings which either restricts the access to some content or to content which requires large amounts of bandwidth to access. You would need to discuss these restrictions with the network administrator for them to allow you access. Also, if you are using a computer that does not allow you administrator rights there could be restrictions on the type of content you are allowed to access such as live multicast video, you would also need to talk to the computer administrator to allow your profile access to such content. I have high-speed wireless internet, but still seem to be having buffering problems? While wireless internet can provide convenience for many lower bandwidth internet applications, it is not optimal for the higher speeds required for live video streaming. Over a wireless router you can experience large amount of bandwidth fluctuation from other computers on your network and also from external devices which can interfere with the wireless signal.

When I'm 64... ha ha!
One of the pleasures of doing these sort of promos involves the people one gets to me - young journos, photographers, publicists. This time it was my discovery of Uma Kadam - she has just been promoted as the Principal Photographer with the Times of India Group. Believe me, it is a big deal! You'll see her portrait of moi in the Sunday Times tomorrow. I was impressed by this 29- year-old woman's professionalism and positive thinking. Her coverage during 26\11 was so good, her editor, the very reticent Jaideep (Jojo) Bose, and her mentor Hoshi Jal, gave her pictures a great deal of play - those important images desrved very high visibility, and got it. Modest and adorable, Uma has been a press photographer for nine years. She wears her success lightly and does her job minus the slightest fuss. As does another ace photographer I have frequently worked with - Vikram Bawa. Congrats, you guys!
Part -2 of the popular Television show, 'Walk the Talk' with Shekhar Gupta will be telecast on NDTV at 9 30pm tonight. The repeat is tomorrow at 3 30pm. Check it out... and post your candid comments ( I really look forward to them).
I watched 'Wall Street - Money never Sleeps' last night with a great deal of nostalgia and a lump in my throat. The news about Michael Douglas suffering from throat cancer was on my mind, especially since his publicists have announced he won't be able to act again. I don't care what critics say - his older Gordon Gekko is still superbly nuanced - just this side of evil. Look out for the scene in which he dismisses Shia La Beouf with a wave of his hand, saying, "You die your death. I'll die mine." Oooooof! Broke my heart.
Here's the HT piece....
Hum Jab Hongey Saath Saal Ke…
'Hum Jab Hongey Saath Saal Ke…' has been my theme song for the past two years. That I sing off key, is another matter.. Asha Bhonsale just turned 77 and celebrated her birthday performing at a rock concert in Singapore. Shabana Azmi joined the Sensational Sixties Club earlier this week and rocked her own party by dancing to the season's big hit 'Munni Badnaam Hui…. Darrrrrling tere liye." Yup. That makes it official. Today's sixty- year- olds are Item Girls with attitude. And as that delicious strap line for an unhealthy snack goes, 'I am lovin' it.' Far too much is being made of youth, and how wonderful it is to be a part of the under -30 generation these days. You know what? Keep it! Youth, I mean. I swear I'd hate to be a young person in India today. Ooof …. total emotional atyachar, yaar! What can these dudes and dudettes India look forward to… come on, think about it? Unemployment, suicides, corruption, caste issues, communal issues, terror attacks, discrimination, quota systems,double digit inflation…. more corruption? Youth is definitely getting wasted on the young. From the heady sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll hedonism of the '60's and '70's… to this depressing mess??? By comparison, celebrating ones 'Eksashthi' ( 61st birthday) sounds positively sexy! I am having the best time of my life as a senior citizen – a far better time than I ever had as a broke, insecure, far-from-accomplished young thing. I mean… come on. Who needs struggle? Who needs the bloody tension of being considered cool or uncool based on the brand of jeans covering ones far from perfect butt? Naah. Youth and all things youthful are totally over rated. I see more worry lines on the faces of twenty something starlets( the bling and botox brigade) than on the 60+ and seriously gorgeous Hema Malini's calm and contented visage. Dev Anand at well over 80, is a darn sight more stylish and does his sartorial layering with far more finesse than that Shirtless Wonderboy, Salman Khan. And yes, Dev Saab continues to be a chick magnet ( eat your heart out Ranbir, Imran, Shahid and all you other callow fellows). Really.Jawani ki Diwani is a huge, big con. Being jawan in India is a little like being a gay guy in a bordello – the equipment works, but there's no application. When I look at the collective neuroses that has paralysed this generation of alarmingly young but essentially vague people, I thank my stars I was spared.
No Sir, we really are pretty okay at this age and stage. We have our lines (verbal and physical) in place. And what's a li'l bit of cellulite idhar udhar between friends and accepting spouses? But that does not give us sleepless nights. We are entitled to our smugness! Our love affairs have always been with human beings not laptops, Blackberries and other gizmos.We lived in the real world, not a virtual one, and men had sex with real partners not Savita Bhabhi . Our communication was face-to-face instead of on facebook. At thirty, we were pretty sorted….we didn't have to hang around dimly lit clubs waiting to meet some impossibly perfect God or Goddess, who, like Godot, didn't bother to show up! We settled for the best 'alliance' going, moved into rented apartments and didn't worry about emi's and other such financial annoyances. We paid our bills with real money, not plastic. And most of our assets were tangible – mother's gold bangles, father's Rolex, that kind of stuff. We had the best parties and weddings which were not super productions or 'events' marketed by hawks counting every extra orchid and barfi. For our honeymoon, we didn't think beyond Simla, Darjeeling or even sweet old neighbourhood hill stations like Mahableshwar. Istanbul, Ibiza or Sao Paolo for bachelorette blow outs? Not a chance! We held hands at soppy movies and licked the same ice cream cone by way of erotic symbolism. The ipill didn't exist, and only bad girls 'did it' with their boyfriends.
There were always people with more money, better boobs, fancier cars, bigger homes. But the 'Lifestyle' disease had not grown into a lethal, full blown, worldwide virus that it is today. Of course, we died of jealousy when the neighbour bought a Fiat or Ambassador. But we also believed 'mera number aa jayega'. Impossible is nothing? It's not as dumb as it first sounds. We were a generation of believers. We naively believed Gordon Gekko when he stated, 'Greed is good.' Today's kids chant 'Money never sleeps'. Neither do they!
What the young in India need more than almost anything else today is a dream. I am just happy and relieved my generation got to live theirs. Picasso , that randy old goat had grandly declared, " Youth has no age.". It so doesn't.
Botox for the soul, anyone??

Shobhaa, great writing but very defensive. Dev Anand looks terrible nowadays(and also for the past 20 years). Even Jeetendra and Dharmendra look like ghosts of their previous avatars. Maybe they are not fat, but their faces are tired and haggard. Ladies are better because they care more for their looks and they dont drink that much. Actually you should be worrying more because your children and grandchildren face all those things pointed by you so glibly. But every generation can get around in their own way. The competition is quite tough out there but the fittest will survive anyhow. The smugness of old age is because of little choices. There is always the fear of Alzhemeir's lurking. One day, this present day youth will also welcome old age in their own wacky way. Mobile phones have taken over the youth. They will rather talk to a friend on mobile for hours than talk to him or her directly even for a few minutes. Given the choice, I dont want to be either a wacky youth or a golden oldie. I would rather be out of this world as soon as possible before any calamity like a lingering disease or a manmade calamity overwhelms me.

Young or old, never mind how I looked either firm bodied or lined. I will say this... with every passing decade my life got better and I became happier. Life experience and a resulting ability and knowledge to cope with both happy and sad times has a lot to do with many of us feeling better about everything, as we get older.
This was a wisdom I had pooh poohed when I was young. I guess it is something you appreciate only when you experience it with the passing years.
Happy whatever age y'all are! The next decade is just going to get better for everyone, if only we allow it to be. - September 25, 2010 at 5:42 PM

Your writing is like great tonic for those worrying about advancing years.But when one gets retirement slip even when one is productive, it feels bad. But then others must also get a chance to be employed in this overpopulated country. For most, especially ladies, facing the mirror is an ordeal until they come to terms with their images. Ageing is a beautiful experience in terms of the vast experiences that one gathers. When shopping for flowers, one buys the freshest ones. Withered flowers are simply thrown away. Like the present day advertisements which state that only 30 years below need apply(young and smart). Associating youth with smartness. What is smartness in their eyes? And is 32 years is too old? Then what about 40, 50, 60 etc.
Our prime ministers, ministers are usually in their 70s & 80s and yet they rule us quite efficiently. Our grandmothers, great grandmothers still cook delicious meals and some of them are quite net savvy apart from being useful in many ways. Are they not smart? - September 25, 2010 at 6:48 PM

What is wrong with being a senior citizen? Are they criminals? Are they ugly? Cannot a goodlooking person be a senior citizen as well? All senior citizens are not dowdy. And all dowdy ones are not necessarily senior citizens.

I think this depressing mess is because of the India that your generation has created for today's youth. Unfortunately for this generation of ours is sentenced to hard labour.

you seem to be obsessed with the sixty stuff. just accept it gracefully and one need not be defensive about it at all. Recently i saw a birthday card saying- To an eighty year young father from a sixty year old son. it is the spirit that matters. There are old among the youth as there are young among the old.some are born old while some are young even in the evening of life.
i have finished reading your book. congrats for a superb work. looking forward for your visit to Hyderabad for the promo.- cheers - September 27, 2010 at 12:50 PM

I love reading your books specially the autobiographic one like speed post or the latest shobhaa at sixty.You look fabulous on the cover.It is the heart and how one behaves and not the chronologocal age which matters .The mind should be young and active and invariable the body keeps up.Your wit shines through all your writing.Am planning on dancing lessons now after I read your book.

Hi Shobha Aunty.
After reading your article it sounds like your are trying to defend your age... its sounds like people are bullying you about your age and you are trying to defend that how being 60 is giving you pleasures which you couldn't have in your young age. I think it makes you sound very selfish and self obsessed person. I think you should feel lucky about the fact that young generation is enthusiastic and trying to do better than generation of previous decade. I think I love where I am and in whatever time I am and I am harvesting the best from the my life.
On a different note: Elder people are respected only when they try to encourge the young people to do better than previous generation instead of trying to make them look inferior. - January 22, 2011 at 5:30 PM
