Rajma Stories!!!

Image
  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 ...

Amalgamating food with meeting new people

Image
  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 advoc...

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

Image
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 r...

Raise Your Voice

Image
Ahh!! Sexy hai boss………. Hey baby!!! Chalti h kya………. And these types of scastic comments are endless and can go on and on. Sometimes, I don’t realize what do the males think they are doing by passing such nasty comments for the females. Whether they are boys or middle-aged men or for that sake anyone what is their motive behind just whistling when they see a girl or saying something which is not at all acceptable. Such men don’t realize what they are doing to that girl, to her confidence, to her mindset. They just keep doing such gobbledygook act. Some questions just keep lingering in my mind: Why are people being educated? What are they studying? What is the impact the schooling is laying on them? It is to say whether its 19 th century where Sunday schools were set up to educate the people at chapels or its 20 th century where fundamental focus was laid on child, science and society or the present 21 st century where the education system is far more developed focus...

Democracy in Relations

“Don’t panic you are big enough to take good care of yourself” came a stern voice as I was over a phone call. My roommate was consoling me over the call. That was the first day at my new job and I was returning from my office in an auto-rickshaw. I was busy on my phone checking Facebook, Insta. Suddenly, I realized that I was way ahead of my PG. I stopped the auto-rickshaw and began to scold him for not dropping me at the assigned place. I got off the auto not realizing that which place it was what time it was. As it was a new place for me, I could not recognize the surroundings and felt that I am lost. It was night time, the road was vacant, the silence was creeping as the night was making its way. I was in danger, pessimism surrounded me from all the directions. I was walking down the streets asking someone or the other but all in vain. Then, I thought of calling my roommate. She instructed me to calm down and asked me about my surroundings as she was aware about the place...

Dazzle with Your Writing Skills

Image
Today when I came back from a party my mind was occupied with some cheesy talks of the people around. Someone commented to me “You have chosen an easy profession, isn’t?” I couldn’t answer at that point of time but the afterthoughts gave me a reason to write this post. Writing seems calm, relaxed to those who are not in this profession. But my views are somewhat diverse and dissimilar in this regard. You can climb a staircase but climbing Everest is hard. You can catch a bus while running at a bus stop but running a complete marathon is completely different. Writing is hard, it’s not an icing on the cake to just pen down your thoughts and feelings in stroke of an hour. It takes creativity, courage, fearlessness, daring, valour to write even something about yourself. It’s true. For those who want to adopt writing as their career, first and foremost they must be open minded. Why am I saying open-minded? This is because, everyone can’t be Jeff Keller, Dr. Joseph Murphy or...

Writer in the Making- An Eye Opener

Image
I came across this competition and it got me thinking about ‘my calling’. I want to just build on my own experience!   “Your Calling—Your Story” a writing contest by the Positive Writer .    If you follow this link, you will see what it is all about.  If you have a blog, you can enter this competition. Chetan Bhagat, Ravinder Singh- are some of the names which inspired me to kick off my journey as a budding writer. Will I be able to write? Will I be a good writer? Which genre will I pen down? Were some of the questions that kept lingering in my mind. Then, there came a turning point in my life where I was compelled to write my first research paper in order to complete my MTech degree. Amidst all the circumstances, I was relishing writing that manifesto. I was unaware that was a watershed in my life. “I stopped looking for the light. Decided to become it instead”. The journey has been a roller coaster ride with ups and downs. Being a content writer...
