indian cooking : divide or delight

When a person makes roti it is not just making food with each step the maker put in emotions and prayer for those who will consume the same. Whole kneading we want it to be perfect so the roti are soft and puffy which marks care. While making the balls we unconsciously or consciously put in prayers of contentment. While rolling it with the pin we carefully do it to assert the right amount of pressure symbolizing that each relationship needs the perfect amount of strenght to flourish and when we finally start cooking in onto tava the warmth is that of love and the puffness is the prayers of flourishing health and love and contentment to those who will consume it with the other dishes to provide them perfect amount of nutrition and satisfaction along with the happiness the love and the sweet memories that will remain forever.. 

Cooking is not just skill or art in india if you do it correctly it is prayers and wishes with every step

Growing up "..is complicated."

LIFE... a beautiful moment when a baby first opens up eyes to see the colourful world and experience in conscious. Everything seems life exciting first to be , to do, to feel. and eventually life takes its own course with time. but do we actually grow up apart the physical and other developments.. or should we say do we actually want to grow up after a certain age/ period in life. we are taught the good and the bad, the rights and the wrongs , the smiles and sorrows, the happiness and pain with experiences and sharing.. and we are then expected to behave as per our age numbered in years spent since our birth. but is the what life actually means. is this the true meaning of living or are we just SURVIVING and learning to Survive. Life in true terms is freedom to heart, the love within the openness of imagination filling up of warmth  in the soul, coexisting with mother nature, believing in self and in the power of the universe.  Living means realising the true wor

life unforgotten

Life unforgotten..  This post is dedicated to the life we are living amid the covid pandemic.  The 2020_21 is the year which is marked as the black cloud of the present times. With people not only living in fear but also pain. The pain too deep for tears to roll down. Not only loosing the loved ones alone suffering and even collapsing but also unable to send them with a respectable farewell. It's not too long that we were living carefree life. Meeting and greeting, loving and hating each other. But now the time has come to forget the hates and forgive all. To let loved ones know how you feel and that they are cherished well because we don't know how much time we have to spend with each other. All we can do is hope for their safety and health.  For those with loved ones who are at distances apart keeping up communicating and longing to meet has become quite a task.  I wish and pray for peace safe and healthy life for all. Sending healing hugs your way. May the universe bless us

Enlightening self

"As the thoughts come and go by... just can't hold them all at once.. they slip just like sand in my hands and time moves on...", this is me today morning. Well its a sunny day of summer and the morning light and warmth are overwhelming... it just penetrates and touches the soul with the enlightenment and another day blessed. Life is more than just material.. reaching out to realization the truth brings out more to be discovered within than outside. We all live a life filled with so much to discover reach out and grasp outside that we forget its easier and happier to reach out within... trying living with oneself first would open up so much more. Discovering oneself is the true discovery every individual can make and reach the first level  of true enlightenment of life.
