Thekua (Khajoor)

Thekua/Khajoor – sort of deep fried cookies esp prepared in the Bihar-UP zones..and an integral part of the “Chhat Pooja’ prasaad. What you see in the pic more closely resembles a ‘khajoor’. “Thekua” is a close cousin..and has various design-patterns (engraved) on its surface! You can find the recipe here. Best wishes! 🙂

The Mantra to Bliss!

Memories of what is gone.. Plans for a future dawn.. We always manage to miss the music which is here and now on.. And the foolish cycle of false misery goes on and on! But yes.. when one realizes this foolishness.. the remedy begins that very moment bang on! Cheers 🙂

World Mental Health Day

It’s World Mental Health Day today.. and this song by my dear friend Dr. Madhusudan aptly captures the plight of the patients.. and the stigma they have to live with! Do have a look at the video ..it makes one aware about hard facts and figures and even proposes some remedies for this social disease. Kudos Dr.Madhusudan…

Flow of Love

If Love flows out from you by your very nature (irrespective of whom ‘to’).. don’t resist the flow (fr any reasons). It is this Resistance which causes dis-ease; Flow makes us Flow-ers ..Fragrant and Lovable 🙂 I noticed/observed so this morning! 🙂
