Lightly grease a deep 20 cm square cake pan, and line the base with baking paper.
Melt chocolate and butter together in a saucepan over low heat, and stir in sugar and eggs one at a time.
Beat well with a wooden spoon, and then stir in sifted flour and walnuts.
Pour into prepared cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until skewer inserted into the center of the slice comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan, out of the oven, for a few minutes before running a knife around the edge of the brownie then transferring onto a cooling wire to cool completely down.

Lyrics I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath Scared to rock the boat and make a mess So I sat quietly, agreed politely I guess that I forgot I had a choice I let you push me past the breaking point I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up Already brushing off the dust You hear my voice, you hear that sound Like thunder gonna shake the ground You held me down, but I got up Get ready cause I’ve had enough I see it all, I see it now
[Chorus] I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR Louder, louder than a lion Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh You’re gonna hear me roar
Now I’m floating like a butterfly Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up Already brushing off the dust You hear my voice, you hear that sound Like thunder gonna shake the ground You held me down, but I got up Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough I see it all, I see it now
[Chorus] I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire ‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR Louder, louder than a lion ‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh You’re gonna hear me roar Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh You’ll hear me ROAR Oh oh oh oh oh oh You’re gonna hear me ROAR…
Roar-or, roar-or, roar-or, roar-or, roar-or
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire ‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR Louder, louder than a lion ‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh You’re gonna hear me ROAR Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh You’ll hear me ROAR Oh oh oh oh oh oh You’re gonna hear me ROAR…

Burgundy is the new black and it is a great way to add colour during cold winter days and move away from boring black and grey. Fashionistas are calling the colour oxblood but you can call it wine coloured, maroon, claret or just plain burgundy and it is back in season.
From coats to dresses, from skirts to socks, burgundy gives your style the special touch and it is such a beautiful colour. Age does not matter because burgundy flatters from young to old. Sex doesn’t matter either because both men and women can wear this colour and look fashionable. The colour can be worn with almost any piece of apparel. In addition, it is a great colour for transition phase between winter and spring. This colour can be easily used from top to toe and here are some of the amazing pieces.
How to wear burgundy?
Pair your burgundy with a lighter piece from the same colour family, like pastel pink or pale rose.
Mix burgundy pieces with luxe prints like brocades, paisleys, silk stripes for a regal look.
For work, use burgundy as a neutral and mix with colours like charcoal grey and olive.
Wear with a piece in a sheer fabric so that it reads more lightweight.
Pair your faded jeans look with plain burgundy cotton tops.
Wear burgundy lip colour with brown pencil eyeliner and gold eye shadow or brown mascara and liquid gold eyeliner.

I am an IT graduate and I have been working in the IT industry for a while but if a decade ago someone saw how I was with computer, then they would have advised me to never go near computers.
While growing up, I didn’t have the luxury of playing with and learning computers like kids todays do. I don’t know how these kids’ tiny brain are wired that they know what to do with the iPhones and iPads but back when I was young, my brain was seemed to work in a straight line. I used to go out to play with my neighbours’ kids and we had dolls, play hide and seek or just run. Some days we came home with dirt all over our clothes and face but it used to be a fun filled childhood. The closest I came to technology was owning an LCD brick game. I am not sure if any of you remember those but they were Tetris type old game with awesome sounds and I have to admit it used to be so much fun. We owned only one so sometimes I had to fight with my brother to play it.
Anyway, when we were in school, computers were just coming slowly to Nepal. I was in year 5 when I saw a computer for the first time at school but not until I was in year 6 that my uncle bought a computer at home and I was able to use it. He was teaching computers at one of the schools so it was essential for him to own one. But those days not many people would buy a computer as it was super expensive, I think prices started from over RS 50,000. And those computers were not as fast as the ones we have today being an Intel 80486 with black/ blue screen. I still remember learning MS Dos on it. And who can forget the floppy disks and the trouble we all had with them.
The new computer at home was the new toy for everyone and especially to my uncle. He used to work hours in front of the computer and used to program and do other stuff I didn’t understand. After a while, I got to know that there were a few very interesting games installed on the computer. My uncle taught us how to play some of them and they were so addictive. Not only was it fun but as a kid it was a different world. The bad part about this all was that we were only allowed to play on the computer supervised. Rest of the time the computer was out of our reach as it was password protected.
So, one day when my uncle was starting the computer, I watched what he did and saw that he hit four stroke on the keyboard where it said password. It came as asterisks on the screen. I wanted to learn all about this new device so I tried to remember the password.
Next time when I was talking with my uncle, I told him that now I knew how to start the computer and play the games on my own. He said that I couldn’t as it was password protected to which I replied “I know your password, it is four asterisks.”
I know everyone must be thinking what an ignorant kid I was but in my mind, that is exactly what I saw. And I had no way of knowing anything more about computers until I took computer classes in school few years later.
Today when I look back and remember that incident, it makes me laugh thinking that the girl who didn’t know anything about computers is working in an IT industry now. The girl who couldn’t differentiate between asterisk and a real password is earning her living working with computers.
Now from a super-slow computer I have moved to super-fast computers and my mobile phone alone is more powerful than my first computer. I can’t imagine my life without computers and internet and these days any year 6 student will be a lot smarter than I was back then.
