“Driven by heartache, she beat the eggs even more vigorously until the glossy meringue quickly formed into stiff, bird's beak peaks.
"Philippe, do you have any orange liqueur?" Marie asked, rummaging through her brother's pantry.
"Here it is," Philippe said, handing a corked bottle to her. "What are you making?"
"A bûche de Noël," Danielle said, concentrating on her task. Carefully measuring each rationed ingredient, she combined sugar and flour in another bowl, grated orange zest, added the liqueur, and folded the meringue into the mixture.
"It's not Christmas without a traditional Yuletide log." Marie ran a finger down a page of an old recipe book, reading directions for the sponge cake, or biscuit. "'Spread into a shallow pan and bake for ten minutes.'"
"I wouldn't know about that," Philippe said. "I don't celebrate your husband's holiday," he said pointedly to Marie.
"Let's not dredge up that old argument, mon frère," Marie said, softening her words with a smile. "I converted for love."
A knock sounded at the front door. Danielle threw a look of concern toward Philippe, who hurried to answer it.
"Then we'll cool it," Danielle said, trying to stay calm. "And brush the surface with coffee liqueur and butter cream frosting, roll it like a log, and decorate." She thought about the meringue mushrooms she had made with Nicky last year, and how he had helped score the frosting to mimic wood grains.”

“कैसे कैसे लोग हमारे जी को जलने आ जाते हैं,
अपने अपने ग़म के फ़साने हमें सुनाने आ जाते हैं !

मेरे लिए ये गैर हैं और मैं इनके लिए बेगाना हूँ,
फिर भी ये एक रस्म-ए-जहां है जिसे निभाने आ जाते हैं !

इनसे अलग मैं रह नहीं सकता इस बेदर्द ज़माने में,
मेरी ये मजबूरी मुझको याद दिलाने आ जाते हैं !

सबकी सुन कर चुप रहते हैं दिल की बात नहीं कहते,
आते आते जीने के भी लाख बहाने आ जाते हैं !”
― Muneer Niyazi

“Isn't it ironic that we often condemn in others what we hate in ourselves? We project our shortcomings on others and confront them in their lives, not in ours. We excuse our weaknesses, but sharply oppose the same weaknesses in others. We discharge and acquit our misdemeanors but hold others accountable for theirs. In what is an obvious injustice, we consider the log in our eyes too small to be seen but the speck in others' eyes too big to be ignored.”
― Abiodun Fijabi
