In Mexican cuisine, Pico de gallo (Spanish for “rooster’s beak”) is a fresh condiment more like a salad made from chopped tomato, onion, and chilles (typically jalapeños). The chopped vegetables are then mixed and tossed with lime juice and salt.
I heard about this salad after coming to the United States. Being new to Mexican cuisine, I had imagined this to be something exotic, complicated and did not even venture to try out for a long time.

Talking of cutting, some times the activity gets a bit too far, as on some occasions he has even managed to snip some parts of his hair J When confronted he said with all innocence that his hair has grown and he was feeling sad that we did not take him out for hair cutting. So he decided to cut the hairs by himself. We had a hard time trying to contain our laughter.
Few days ago, my colleagues were having a conversation at work about good and healthy breakfast, its benefits and how it boosts metabolism etc. Research has proved that eating breakfast improves memory and concentration. Even though we try to follow this at home as …
