Amalgamating food with meeting new people

 

Meeting new people is like broadening your perspective in all breadth. Some will feel the same while others might not. Life is making new friends, getting to know their views and sharing yours and on and on. It was a nice 40 minutes catch up with some new-fangled people. Today, in the evening 15 minutes past 7, I was asked by my hubby that some of his old friend is in town. We quickly got ready and just went to the place where his friend was waiting. We met on Mall road in Nainital. We all shake hands with each other and greeted with all beautiful smiles.



We entered a café “Pots and Stones”. We booked a table for four of us including me, my husband, his friend and his fiancé. The café had a pleasant ambiance, some good English songs was there to just pep up our mood. There were sofas sitting as well as chair sitting. We choose a sofa sitting where the table was lit with an old lamp at the top. My husband Siddharth is an advocate and his friend Akshay also happens to be an advocate and so was his fiancé. They three were just sharing their experiences being a lawyer.

Akshay and his fiancé practiced in Delhi and they were practicing in Delhi district court. Akshay was just narrating how is Delhi’ life mixed with hustle and how busy and occupied their lives happens to be. Siddharth joined by saying that life in Nainital happens to be more peaceful and chilled out when equated to Delhi. In between all this we ordered something to drink. We ordered a cold coffee, choco blast, mojito and expresso. I was relishing my coffee and was enjoying their communication. They both were recalling college memories, with whom they were in touch with and some of entertaining persons who use to entertain them with their silly talks. They used some phrases like “Next level ka banda”, “charsi” and as you know is obvious as they belonged to the most happening college Amity University.

It's astonishing how a chat over an evening coffee was so comforting and uplifting. This is the connecting quotient that food serves in our lives. Then, it was time to say bye as we had to leave. We just bid farewell to them and wished them all the best for their new life. Will keep on posting more stories related with food. Stay tuned.

Parenting: The New Age Buzz

  You must be wondering why this title. The face of parenting has transformed drastically from traditional parenting to new age parenting. However, parenting techniques and procedures have completely revolutionized the new-age childcare. Traditional parenting circulated across living up to the expectations of the parents. Whether it’s the cultural beliefs, values, respect, or obeying the authoritative nature of the parents. I am not saying that traditional parenting did not permit children to be independent or restricted their freedom in any way. The outcome of traditional parenting techniques was higher academic achievements, fewer psychological issues, and lower behavioral problems. As a parent, you might be aware of some of the fundamental parenting styles including authoritarian, neglectful, authoritative, and permissive. However, child psychology is quite different. According to Diana Baumrind and other Stanford researchers, John Martin and Eleanor Maccoby child psychology can b

Rajma Stories!!!

  Food is always special it’s not meant to just satiate your hunger but it is a feeling, an emotion and a conversation over food be it official meetings or a party or anything food serves as a connection. I hope you all will agree with my perception. Are you fantasising what to have in lunch? How about a bowl of Rajma served with some hot rice with a dollop of ghee and onion rings? The thought of this traditional combo makes my mouth start watering. “Finger licking Rajma served with steamed jeera rice” The authentic comforting food can satiate you completely Isn’t? You must be wondering why I gave the blog title as Rajma Stories. Everyone has his or her story associated with Rajma and rice. Whether its mother’s love served with extra ghee on top or enjoying rajma rice with your friend in a Dhabba with that chit chat or it can be just cooking for yourself and relishing a mix of rajma chawal. Whatever it may be everyone can link themselves with this grain which is full of proteins and

How Coronavirus: A serious pandemic are caused by hidden global warming

Worried about Covid19 outbreak? Yes, it’s a serious concern. Here is my take on Covid19. Global warming is on the rise and can be attributed as one of the reasons of pandemics like Covid19 in numerous ways: ·         We all are aware of the fact that global warming is extinguishing the natural habitat of most of the wild animals. This led to some of the wild animals like bats to come in close connection with the humans which enhances the zoology virus to come to humans. Covid19 virus outbreak is owing to this reason. ·         In addition to this, global warming is also leading to more famines, hunger and failure of crops. The impact of this is even worsening the situation i.e. poor families are compelled to capture and hunt for the animals and eat more of the wild animals. This will surely cause the animal virus to reach humans in a much faster way. This can also be attributed as one of the fundamental reasons which led to the outbreak of coronavirus which was an animal m
