Surviving My Own Cooking



Now, its been one and half month that I am away from my family. This is fourth month in all, that I am away from my family in this year. One year before, if someone would have said this to me, I probably would not have believed. But we can never know what life has put in our plate for us in future. In the same way if someone would have told me that I will be cooking everyday for muself, and that too good (at-least I think )...I wouldn't have believed. But its true. I am cooking for myself everyday. Am I cooking good or not so good.. well I don't know. But, I have survived my food for last one and half month, so it should be good if not best.

So, do I like to cooking ? Yes certainly. Why? Because, it is a place where I can do experiment. Its a place where I can show my creativity. Now a days I am cooking for myself in the morning and in the  night. I am sure there are many men who are cooking everyday.  Everyday, I plan new dish or same dish with new and better way. I have become expert in cooking some dishes like Indian curry, sabji..some rice recipes. Learning to cook is nice thing. Washing the dish after that,  is not though... It gives me immense happiness when the dish gets right, when it becomes as I expected. In last few days I have found some simple ways to cook just perfect in less efforts. I am sure many others might be using it already. I dared to break all traditional principles of cooking and find my own new ways and still get it right. It has boost my confidence in cooking overall.

I heard that, if somebody cooks with all his heart, it tastes in the dish. I think, now I am understanding its meaning. Now, I think I am reaching to the basic level where probably I will be able to understand what they say on all cooking channels. In cooking, I believe it is important to do experiments and try and keep trying until achieving excellence. Same is true for life. After all life is also a sweet dish.

Reality of Real Estate in India

Now days I do not happen to read news paper daily. Sometimes on weekends I get chance to read news papers. But, one thing I have noticed that first page or cover page, a page above front page which is full of property advertisement is reaching each home everyday. They have 1 BHK, 2BHK, 3BHK flats, row houses, farm houses, farm lands, and NA plots advertisement. Now days customers have hundreds of options. They have various budgets from so called cheap flats to luxurious flats with high budgets. They provide so many amenities. It’s a matter of research how many amenities are really needed and are used. They are present just as status symbols. People are paying so much money extra for these unused facilities.  I want to put my views here about whole real estate industry in India. Home is COSTLY (?) In India all businesses, industries, jobs are concentrated to few particular cities. I feel this is done deliberately to force people to stay, gather at one place. It is wel...

Holika Dhahan

There is March already, we have some festival coming in next few days. Today here at Maharastra we celebrate a festival "Holika". And tomorrow it is Festival of Holi (Festival of colors). Although Holi is becoming very popular festival internationally and many people visit India just to enjoy holi, this post is not about Holi but its about Holika. Note the difference in the name. I feel that all Indian festivals are designed so that people in society should gather and mix up with each other.  Good news is its holiday tomorrow and its a long weekend. After long time I will be celebrating Holika. It is very interesting festival. Like all other Hindu festivals, it is about victory of good over bad. This time it is about victory of good within over the evil within us. On internet there are many stories how Holika started and so I will not discuss it here. Indians believe that fire is pure. It burns evil and what remains is pure. Anything that survives fire is pure. W...

Here and There

There are many beggars in India. They are everywhere. In cities, villages, at Railway station, temples, bus stops, at signals. I heard in Mumbai there are beggars who are even millionaire. But, when they ask money to me, I am always confused, to give or to avoid. Sometimes I feel they are poor and I should give some money and sometime I feel by giving money I am encouraging this act. And I don't want to encourage it. So, its unending confusion to me. At the same time I always try to judge them if he/she is really in need. I try to see, can they earn money by working somewhere or they are just lazy and looking for easy begging money. But sometime I feel very sad to see small kids begging for money, or a lady standing in rain or in hot sun by holding a small pale kid. I feel so sad, frustrated and helpless on the condition of these people that many times I end up in tears. But, I still avoid paying money since I don't want to encour...
