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 is even healthy.

I have my own rajma story which I am going to narrate with this article. Since childhood, I have always been fond of Rajma chawal prepared by my mom and there can be no comparison in terms of taste, spices as she is the best cook athwart the world. But this Rajma story is associated with my friend who happens to be a great cook. He is an IT consultant. We worked together in an IT company and became good friends as we worked together in a team.

I along with my colleagues planned to organise a party at his place. We all were set to rock the party, lighten up our mood, chill and tantalise our taste buds with some amazing food. The food was to be cooked by my friend and he was really excited to serve all of us. All of my colleagues were fond of non-vegetarian food. Butter chicken masala, jeera rice, some hot chapattis, along with some drinks were served for all of them. However, I was a vegetarian and was wondering what to eat. To my surprise, for me there was Rajma served with hot jeera rice and salad. I was amazed and felt truly blessed to have my favourite food which was prepared just for my sake. I along with my colleagues were grateful for the hospitality, finger licking food which indeed made our day.

This incident made me relate our bond of friendship with red kidney beans and made me realise that how food can serve as a medium in blossoming of friendship between two individuals.       

Is Rajma and rice your recipe of happiness? Do let me know in the comments section below and share your emotional connection with your Rajma stories. Will keep on posting more food stories. Till then stay safe and enjoy your comforting food.

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

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
