India

Heart wrenched when I saw a comment in a vlog of India “I will never come to this filthy country”.

With this comment in mind, I was gazing at the road from my window. The cool breeze pushed me back, enjoying the cool wind I heard them giggling. Kids in a group were laughing, chatting and eating prasad (food shared with devotees). They must be coming from the Ganesha stall, I thought.

Today is Ganesh Chaturthi, the festival celebrates the New Beginnings and the Remover of Obstacles.

I too thought of bringing Ganesha to my home. My sister advised, “Keep Ganesha as a guest and take care of him as a family member”.

I made sweet for the new guest, cleaned the temple and placed him with love and wrapped him with flowers.IMG-20180913-WA0001

I am not a true Monotheist, I believe in karma. But this made me happy.

Today in every lane, there is a Ganesha kept. Isn’t he beautiful 🙂IMG-20180913-WA0014

Everyone who visits the Ganesha stall is offered prasad. It’s enough for a one time meal.IMG-20180913-WA0016

India takes time to built the understanding, it needs you to be friendly. The bond starts only when there is no PERCEPTION.

As rightly said, “Perception kills the reality”

 

Having enough protein? Egg recipe (AGAIN)

With only 4 eggs left in the tray, I started counting on how many eggs we ate this week (since last Saturday). TOTAL came at 67 😉

Having 8 eggs daily, I thought at least my protein intake of the day is enough.

With 4 eggs left and being Friday evening, I thought of making an easy dish.

Egg Paratha with tomato chutney

  2. Whole wheat + Corn Flour dough (2:1)
