New Ideas

The woman in ur life...very well expressed...

The woman in your life...very well expressed...

Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are; Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply Because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important, relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this......

Please appreciate "HER"

My Friend

Did Anyone Ever Tell You,
Many Times When They were Sad

Your E-mail made Them Smile a bit
In Fact It made Them Glad

For the Time You Spend Sending Things
And Sharing whatever You Find

There are No Words to Thank You
But Somebody, Thinks You're Fine

Did Anyone Ever Tell You
Just How Much They Love You

Well, My Dearest Online Friends
Today I am Telling You.

Smile

Smiles are the language of love. The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection. A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks All people smile in the same language. A warm smile is the universal language of kindness. If I thought that a smile of mine, might linger the whole day through and lighten some heart with a heavier part, I\'d not withhold it -- Would you ? ?? Smile becoz God gave Human this beautiful gift - A Smile.... Smile, not becoz it costs you or not, but because you can make someone smile and make their day So Smileeeeeee please ...... Hmmm... Good, looks very good, infact suits you the best Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful. Too often we underestimate the power of a smile, which have the potential to turn a life around.

Sandwich with Garlic Paste

I can\'t eat Indian food for a long stretch of time, which is weird. The general consensus in desi circles is that all good Indians go back to Indian food, the way mom made it, after infrequent forays into other cuisines. Sadly, this is not the case. I can eat daal-roti for a day, or even two, but we must have paninis on day three.

For the filling:

- 3 portobello caps, stems removed
- 1 bunch asparagus (a pound or so)
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- salt and red pepper flakes to taste
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Sliced cheese (Use any kind of cheese that would melt. I used Dutch leyden.)

Sliced bread - six slices
Use a thick cut dense grainy bread. Regular white bread is likely to turn soggy.

For the rosemary aioli (from this Epicurious recipe), mix together and refrigerate:

- 1/3 cup mayonnaise ( I used vegannaise)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

- Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Whisk together the vinegar, honey, salt, pepper and thyme to make a marinade.
- In a 9 x 13 baking dish, place the portobellos and the asparagus. Pour the marinade over the veggies and partially cover with foil. Roast for 40 minutes.
- Cool the veggies and chop into bite sized pieces.

For the panini, spread the aioli on two slices of bread. Layer a slice with vegetables. Add the cheese on top and cover with the second slice. Repeat for two more sandwiches. Make paninis on the stovetop or in a griddler.

These paninis are delicious, hearty, and just plain good. And now we can go back to eating rotis for a day or two.

Mother Divine

Tranquil and calm, draped in white, Oh Mother divine,
Seated majestic, idyllic, on the playful swan
Playing Veena, holding books and beads you glisten
In a riveting spectacle of celestial elegance and élan

From you, the Seed of seeds, blooms the sound

Pulsating in Space, your brilliance, renders all mute

Flowing Veena naad, taal Mridang and melody of flute

Splendorous music pours, from you, the divine root

Space vibrates, time stills, as planets and stars align

Blossoming buds, flowers, greet the morning sunshine

Mountains and sea bow to your shimmer and shine

Nature dances in tune, to your harmony divine

You the absolute power and knowledge supreme

You’re the goal that you goaded me to dream

You’ll guide the intellect, so I staunchly deem

Only with your power of love, do I swim upstream

Every thought, grain, pebble, of every letter is you,

You’re the speech, action, reaction and the result due

You the mind, intellect and the concept I pursue

You’re the heart and soul, your blessing has nothing in lieu

You are the words and grammar for sense

All sentences, conjunctions and the tense

You the drive, the passion and the thirst,

Any prayer, poetry, prose and all the rest

So Mother,

Should you just refrain, i'll never get a speck right,

It is my humble wish; please do get me to write

Bless me the morals, values for insight

Keep me modest, ever humble as a mite

Teach me to see life in its many a phase

Ups, downs, joys and sorrow all that i face

You tell me that its all but your infinite grace, and

i pray silently to remain (forever) in your loving embrace

What r U 2 Me

I am a rose, you are my thorns,
clutching to me, protecting me.

I am the sun, you are my rays,
helping me to shine and to be all that I can.

I am a lake, you are my water,
filling me with ideas, dreams, and hopes for the future.

I am a tree, you are my leaves,
sharing who and what I am
and becoming an important part of my life.

I am a heart, you are my beat,
beating rhythmical
For, you see, each day I love you more,
Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.
