So it just happened that I was taking my morning tea while thinking what to watch for a quick fresh up before getting indulge in chores. I had no idea that this movie will inspire me to write after a lapse of almost four years.
Well I'm not a writer writer in real sense of the word but I've this conviction or you may say a strong desire to write, which kept on nudging me wherever I go or whatever I do. And ironically I do everything from planning to dreaming about my accomplishments, except putting them in words. Many a times I came across a book, a novelette or title of some play and my inside screams,"Oiiii! that was my idea!" Its a task to recapture the plots and characters I've been weaving for my upcoming book or books, since half a decade! And then it happened that I happened to watch this movie 'Julie and Julia' yesterday.
Frustrated with a soul-killing job, New Yorker Julie Powell (Amy Adams) embarks on a daring project: she vows to prepare all 524 recipes in Julia Childs' landmark cookbook, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." Intertwined with Julie's story is the true tale of how Julia Child (Meryl Streep) herself conquered French cuisine with passion, fearlessness, and plenty of butter.
Determined for once to finish something she’s started, Julie sets herself the challenge of becoming a real cook by working her way through Child’s Mastering The Art Of French Cooking — over 500 recipes — in exactly one year. It’s to be a learning experience that impacts on her life beyond the kitchen. And encouraged by her husband to blog about her trials and triumphs, she finds a growing audience.
So I realized that my want of writing may be due to the fact that I want to write but not something which can drain my last drops of sanity, after recurrent yelling, screaming and threatening sessions with kiddos; but something which can rejuvenate me! Something crusty,light,delectable and delicious like strawberry pavlova!
What can be more satisfying than to cook and write about it!
I've always liked cooking,it was never difficult for me, even as a newly wed, to throw a big party and try all the dishes in my menu for the very first time! Julie inspired me to embark my own challenge;set the rules and develop a regime.
So Delectable Rverie will be my food journal where I'll share with you my kitchen musings everyday! Whether its a recipe or a blunder; casual dine out or festive treats,long'boring tales or short'pragmatic thoughts, I'll see you every day, inshaAllah !
Bon appetit !!!

Above is some details I copied and pasted for you from the net;rest you can watch for yourself and may dislike the movie but it hit me hard. Julie's conviction implored me to step out of my inertia and take hold of my laptop.
By the way its not my first blog,there are three others but its ages since I last peek into them!
You may be thinking that I could have continued with my oldies! Yes, I could have done that but their themes require energies more than I can afford to spare, with my three kiddos and an almost maidless life. Those of you who are from Pakistan can for sure understand my dilemma, where mere presence of housemaid can make your day...lol!
