My Beautiful Food!

Mixed in a delicious array of yogurt, saffron, and exotic spices. Marinated for hours to perfection. And then slow cooked in firewood to bring out a flavourful creation that’s one of its kinds, known to the world as, Zafrani Gosht. A Mughlai culinary artifact made out of tender lamb infused in the flavours of freshly roasted whole spices and cashew nut gravy to create a delicacy that lingers in the taste buds.

A beautiful dish presented in an equally beautiful dishware. Glass. Not an ordinary one but Borosil http://www.myborosil.com/.  Pure and pristine. Enabling to see through each layer of the rich brown gravy flowing over the contrasting white bones cozily  wrapped around their succulent, melt-in-the-mouth meaty counterparts. Making way in between the creamy gravy are the tiny little pieces of whole spices. Totally submerged and their flavours well incorporated. On topmost is a layer of pure desi ghee, revealing the true royal self of the dish. And finally, a dash of décor with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Wow! To accompany it is the long-grained basmati, eagerly awaiting in the Borosil glass casserole kept next. Warmth and aroma well intact. Need I say more? Dig in!

ArVind Of Change

There is something in the air….
A revolution. An election. A better selection.

There is something in the air…
The craze. The blaze. The gleaming new phase.

There is something in the air…
Something honest. Something modest. Something to make India the best.

Mama Mia!

Woman is certainly the most beautiful creation of God. Without her the world would not have been so charming or rather there would have been no world without her. She is like the solitaire of a golden ring whose presence enhances the beauty of the ornament and without which the ornament is not worth a wear. Whether it is the four walls of her home or the cubicle of a corporate giant, she plays many roles in one single character of woman. Pick up any face from the crowd and there you will find her- our 21st century working woman. Like the one I come across everyday in the local train. Her charming accessories can catch the fancy of any eye. Her sense of style can leave the fashionistas far behind. She is flawless in her dusky skin. She is beautiful. She is unique. She is just like my Mia. http://mia.tanishq.co.in/

So what if she is a gypsy? Does that mean her beauty is not worth any appreciation? Does that make her hard work less acknowledgeable? Doesn't her everyday interactions and persuasions with the customers amount her to a working woman? She isn't fortunate like many of us in many aspects but she is certainly one of us. She too has her own set of sacrifices. Her own share of dreams and desires. Her own joys and sorrows. Her own work and her own way of making her work beautiful. She is my Mia Woman. 
She too balances her work and home life, and sometimes balances a little better than us.

I lost my life


Now I'm dead

The soul has left

Just the body is kept

Alone and ail

It’s gone all pale

Lifeless and hopeless

I closed my eyes

And now I’m dead!

Jeeyo J.K !!! :)


Now this one is from Facebook, yeah I mean sourced out from there. Doesn't it make so much of sense and definitely a great feel good factor while gulping down that sinful dark forest pastry without a guilt!!

Well said Rowling, can't agree with you more on this!

Always...Forever...!!! :)

Few things are forever...the beauty of simplicity turns them into timeless masterpieces...one such beautiful creation from the past is this song...came across after a long time...while surfing through channels yesterday i got stuck in the channel that gets changed ever before its logo appears...but yesterday was a different story...as soon as i saw this one...i just could not skip...the unique association that i (and many of you too) share with this song brings alive my childhood reminiscence...there is a strange connection that we have developed with these Doordarshan archives...something that can not be expressed through words...anyways listen to this song and i hope you would enjoy this short journey back in time...and yes, i changed the channel as soon as this got over!!! ;)
