Food

Pizza Mac & Cheese

I am a serious foodie but not really much of a chef. I am pretty good at it *modesty alert* mind you, but I am not fond of it. Many would criticize this statement. Cooking must come naturally to women in our society and if it doesn't all hell breaks loose. Yes girls, if you don't know how to cook, you may NEVER find a suitor for yourself *dramatic music plays in the background* .

Five must-read books that are not too mainstream (yet)!

Like the title suggests, this post is about five of my all-time favourite books that are actually not very popular (I don’t understand why though!!). These five are books that instantly clicked; once I started reading, I could not stop. If you’re looking for something light yet meaningful, the below mentioned should do the trick! Here goes:

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child- The Eighth Story?

11:25:00

So it took me some time (and courage) to pick this book up and read it. Why? I was reallllly looking forward to it and then a lot of people said its not the same at all, and a lot said its worth it.. I was basically scared of ruining the perfect Harry Potter ending.. And well.. To be honest, I have mixed emotions towards this book.. before I can share my opinion.. let me briefly write what this book is about.. NO SPOILERS I promise :) 


Brief Summary: 

The story picks off nineteen years after Voldemort's defeat; Harry works in the Ministry of Magic and has three children with Ginny: James Sirius, Albus Severus and Lily Luna (The names get slightly confusing at some points in the book, at least I felt that way!). The story primarily revolves around Harry's middle child, Albus; we get to relive the entire newbie Hogwarts journey beginning from our very own Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station on to the Hogwarts Express and yes the infamous Sorting Hat makes an appearance. 
Albus instantly befriends Scorpius Malfoy, son of Draco Malfoy, and this friendship doesn't get the approval of many. Let's not forget Ron and Hermione have two children: Rose and Hugo Granger-Weasley but they don't play very central characters in the entire story.

The Purpose behind the Gallivanting!

14:13:00

Hello and welcome to all!
For those who know me, well, you know me. And those who don't, I am initiating this blog, coincidentally on the auspicious occasion of my birthday (YAY), in synchrony with my Instagram account which goes by the same title, i.e @thewhimsicalgallivanter.

 The purpose you ask? Well, I wish to document the little things in life (like every other blogger :P) and the idea is to write my opinions/reviews etc on:
  1. BOOKS
  2. Restaurants/Recipes  
  3. Other entertainment type thingies (attractions, movies etc)
  4. Travelling type reviews (which I hope will be A LOT)
  5.  Miscellaneous rants  (my favourite pastime) 
So follow my blog if you're interested in some light reading! I dedicate this effort to my mom (she's up in the heavens and i already write to her about the serious stuff, which you can access at letterstomymotherinjannah.blogspot.ae), my FRIENDS (I miss you guys :C) and my family! I would REALLY be obliged if you would leave your comments or suggestions either in the comments here or DM me on Instagram :D I look forward to this journeyyyyy!! :D 

Till further creativity kicks in, 

Au Revoir!
