Is life a race or A relaxing sail? 🤔🧐🤔

What’s up guys? Busy with work? No worries..this will just take a few seconds’ read..Before moving to the rest of the platform, just thought to pen down some thoughts that have been hovering in my mind occassionally creating thoughtful folds on my forehead! Why not share with you? Who knows we might be sailing on same boat or perhaps the other… 🙃

I have been questioned by my mind day over day as to what life is..is it a rigirous race or a relaxing sail or a mix of both?? Well, I have often heard folks say that life is a struggle, a fight for sustanenace and one needs to run everyday to lead a life…If its really a fight, then whats the difference between a life and a war? 🙄 Atleast, war ends in few years, but life goes on..I do agree and heartily accept that there are many across the world who really need to work hard in order to sustain themselves and with no questions asked, all due respect to them….May the almightly realise their strenuous work….What about the other ‘many’ group who might not need to ‘struggle’ everyday? Take a step back and understand how different your life would have been if you had been a son of a millionaire or an underpaid peasant?

Well, I want you to share across your thoughts about what life is…To me, a life should be a sail which is relaxing while moving with the tide and a struggle while moving agaist the tide..What say? I have 3 especially positive people in my life who are friends first and then parents and grandmom..😊😊😊😊..Yeah, that’s right! Out of them, its my MOM who has made me realise how life can be led in a smiling manner, no matter what…Its she who is the most cheerful person I have seen and my grandmom seems not to be disturbed by her age…Yeah, she doesnt look like she is aging and who cares…For us, age is just a number and its more important to stay a child from the heart…I will have post coming up shortly for that

Coming Soon – Age is a number

Come back here when our journey begins.

Age is just a number? I can already see tilted looks on me 😎😎😎 Cool, we will come back soon on that and you can let me know your thoughts for it..I can tell whats the secret behind age is just a number..Sounds interesting? No? Then I will especially invite you to the read 😜😜😜

Yeah, so for my MOM and grandmom life is a positive and cheerful journey no matter how your mind is or what circumstances you face..For my father, who has happened to have struggled a lot in his early years having been migrated from a different country and losing his father in his very tender age, he sees life in a completely different way..For his, life is an everyday struggle to get things sorted and thats why he stays so utterly tensed whole day with some permanent folds on his forehead…I know you have been thinking why no mention of friends..Well, I will come back to some interesting stuffs on my very few friends that I have very shortly..

So, no matter what happens, life needs to be a mix of relaxing and a sprinting journey..Relaxing to breathe and reflect on oneself and grappling to keep up with our dreams.Its the balance that counts..this is to me, what about you?

Some really real life drama, secret thoughts, unforgettable facts, passions along with food for soul and body becomes the usp of this blog which is as much yours as is mine..I really mean it..I dont want this to be a monologue platform, I want to know each one of you and know about each other..So, are you game? Please join in and stay tuned for the upcoming reads..

WELCOMING HOPEFUL AND SAFE NEW YEAR

Pomfret fry with Rawa

Hi guys! I will not start by saying just “Happy New Year”. With one of a challenging year we have been spending, I will wish you all a hopeful and a safe new year. I will keep this post short. To me, the last day of the year holds as much significance as the first year. In fact, all the days of the year are different in their own ways. The last day of the year is what we call the New Year’s eve and this time I have tried the fried Pomfret fish seabeach style. Recipe given below.

If you are single and all by yourself, no worries. As I have told you, I am always there to hear you out. I have spent many special occassions all by myself and I know its challenging. However, we always have our parents by our side. So, we are never single in this world. If you are single, try out the following things. I am sure they will help you cherish this eve like no other.

1. Buy yourself gifts – Either buy yourself some amazing gifts or treat yourself with a wonderful book. You will surely want yourself to be happy first.
2. Treat yourself with a wonderful dinner – No wonder, your mind and soul needs amazing food. Either cook something special or order some special savouries. I have bought bunch of cakes and burgers to treat myself this year. I have also cooked something delicious. See above 🙂 :). So, whats your menu?
3. Select a movie from Netflix or any portal you like – No point in going to the movie hall amidst this pandemic if you are not hell bent on seeing pictures on big screen. Select a nice movie in Netflix or Amazon Prime and turn on some dim lights. I like watching Christmas special movies in this festive season and have watched a bunch of those. Will write a separate post on this recommending some great movies. Whats your take on this?
4. Turn on light music and dim lights – Well, nothing can be as mesmerizing as turning on dim lights and tuning in to soothing music on a eve. Try out and then thank me 🙂

Recipe”

Wash the pomfret pices and make slits. Marinate with vinegar or lemon juice, red chilli powder, salt, turmeric and ginger garlic aside. Keep it aside for half an hour. In a non stick pan, heat oil. On a separate plate, spread rawa or sooji and add salt. Coat the fish pieces in it and then add to the pan. Fry on one side well before turning to the other side. Serve it hot with onion, chillies and lemon.

Goodmorning folks! 🤗🤗
