Another day in the kitchen this weekend calls for another delicacy from my childhood! Samosa and Balushahi were a great combination of savory and sweet things to have on any great occasion! In the last post, we learned to make Samosas, in this one, we are going to prepare Balushahi! Balushahi is a very simple sweet, very much like donoughts! It is similar to a glazed doughnut in terms of ingredients, but differs in texture and taste.

Samosa, does it need any introduction? I don’t think so! Because samosa is so so common in India (you literally get samosa and tea/chai at every other street corner), I always considered it to be a quintessential Indian delicacy.

I have documented my setup for linux machines before before. However, lately I have been working a lot on my MacBook Pro. In this post, I want to document my setup for my macbook for my own future needs. I am always curious to see how other software developers are setting up their development machines so I figured it would be a good opportunity to share mine. I am a research scientist in AI/Deep Learning and do some software development using Javascript, markdown, etc.

I have been using zsh for than 4 years now. I ended up with an extensive set of my own changes/configurations on top of zprezto, zplug plugins. You can see all of my changes/configurations in my personal zprezto repo. The features and improvements it makes on plain old bash are impressive. But as my needs change, so does my shell. In this post, I will lay out my motivations for the switch, along with some details of my new configurations and all the gotchas that I had to endure!
