Crocodiles and fabulous cakes

I know there is no connection between crocodiles and cakes except that they both start with 'c', no, it's just two completely different incidents that made me think.

I'm sitting here trying to string words together to make sense, but my window is open and I can see the sea and the lights, the night is beautiful, very distracting. But if I really want to enjoy the view I better empty my head full of thoughts.

It's hard to imagine that behind all this beauty are crocodiles in water that killed a woman as reported by The Daily Telegrams, Port Blair. The govt. provided Rs. 3 lakhs for her three children's education and well-being. Hope the money will ease out their pain of losing their mother, funny how money seems the solution to almost everything. The govt. also directed Wild Life to prevent such events from happening by making sure no food is disposed near the creeks inhabititated by these salt-water crocodiles.

This 'crocodilia' has been an issue in Andaman for a while. It is assumed that after Tsunami a lot of crocodiles were washed away from the area round Thailand and now they live happily in Andaman. I don't think this is the first death caused because of these blown up lizards, I recall an incident where an American woman's body was found after she went scuba diving in the sea, only that the crocodile had plans of scuba diving too. Please pardon my cruel sense of humour, I feel very sorry for people who have suffered because of this, it is devastating, but it's done now.

Ever since I landed on Port Blair, my mom has been trying to convince me to go to the beach, obviously I didn't go, hearing these stories, I’m certainly not afraid of 'death', but I prefer a less painful way of leaving this world, no thank you.

I watched Fabulous Cakes in TLC channel, it's a show where these fabulous cake shops take up challenges to make theme cakes for wedding, birthday parties or any other events.

I saw this cake shop called 'No more boring cakes' try to build a 4ft cake for a wedding but in between this huge piece of cake starts to falls apart and they throw everything away. Seriously? That is like tons of cake wasted, I’m sure they could have used it for something else or gave it away. I get it, there may not be many poor people in California but are you telling me there no other way out instead of putting it in a bin? I mentally screamed when I saw them putting cake away in the bin. And you wonder why half of the world is hungry. The couple spent more than a thousand dollars for that cake, fair enough they could afford it, but what's the point of all that cake wasted? That cake was beautiful, but I still couldn't help but think about that big chunk of cake somewhere waiting to get rotten in the bin.
