BTECH days’— the best days of my life. I did my B TECH in College of Engineering, Trivandrum where I spend the most beautiful days enjoying with my friends-Full of happiness, joy and all funs. Although we had lots of work, life was so smooth and jovious during those four years. Now four years passed by like waves but still many memories stay afresh-bunking classes, all those strikes, mass cuts, hanging out every now and then, gossiping….We had series tests every now and then followed by university exams and as a last resort we (a gang of five) conduct combine study (I wait till the last moment to study). Mariam’s home situated at Thycaud, Trivandrum will be the venue most of the times as it is a convenient destination.[ Still remembering Mariam’s great efforts to teach us ,should appreciate her teaching skills]Mariam’s Mom used to give yummy, moist chocolate cakes which I used to adore. I really don’t remember how many times I have had those delicious cakes. Each time I have it I wanted to prepare it. I didn’t have a baking oven then but I took the recipe from her as soon as I got one. This recipe has been tried and tested number of times. Try this yummy chocolate cake sometime and do tell me how it tastes…….
