Emotional Atyachaar - Pravesh doing a good job.
Yeah that right. Being jobless i have become a tv worm(as in book worm). I have seen almost all stupid shows on tv. i got to change my remote's cell every alternate month. before it used to get changed twice a year. Of all shows i have been watching almost all turned out to be a time pass or a waste of time. But this one particular show stole my attention. It made me think seriously about reality. Its the "Emotional Attyachaar" on UTVbindaas. It a show where any common girl or a boy can check the loyalty of their partner. You just have to approach them on their site and submit the details. If u r lucky n if they feel ur story may get them TRP they ll check ur partners loyalty with the help of an undercover agent. Well that was all about the show. To know it better, watch any one episode of it.
Hmmmmm so why m i writing this in my blog? waise many of my frens tel me its scripted and not a reality show and bla bla.... ok for instance i accept its scripted. but does it make any difference? no it doesnt. coz the response and reactions they show are so real. If for a while you keep urself in the characters place and imagine you wud probably do the same thing. It just a normal reaction or a response anyone wud get.
After seeing this show my frens usually discuss ki aaj kal ppl ve become so practical. There no love and bla bla.. No value for love and all.. But i always believe that LOVE has got its special place not cos of what wonders it does but cos of few ppl who really understood and made it live forever. For example the romeo juliet, heer ranjha and many. Their sacrifice and their way of expressing had give love the meaning.
If you want love you give love. You ll surely get it back more than you gave. I strongly believe it and it really works. Love is divine, its just a wonderful feeling. Its not that easy to pen this wonderful thing.
I would suggest all to watch emotional attyachaar and take it positively. I ve seen many frens of mine who had a breakup and were in depression are able to come out of it take life practically after watching this. The reason is that they realised that they aint the ony one to get cheated lol..... funny but sach hai.
I myself cant bare it the way i m yapping in my blog coz i ve nothing else to do. Its such an ******* thing.
Its been 4 days i didnt sleep and I think I should before brain fatigue makes me put down that which shall never be able to be explained, yet felt and been in close comfort too.
Gosssssshhhhhhhh its soooo very confusing.........

TO MY MAMMA
This is for u mom, the love of my life.
Love, had always been a big big word to me before i realized u r my love mamma.Now, even love seems to be a smallest word. Mamma i have no words to describe what you mean to me.
U were there at the beginning when the world was new to me, U were the one who listened to my all silly n stupid stories of my nursery school.
Mamma i still remember that u were the one who always bare with the complaints of teachers because of me and never said a word.
You always made me feel special, You taught me very important lessons of my life in your own way. You always turned me happy when i was hurt n blue.You always listened to my thoughts and advised me whenever i asked. You were there to help me with my prayers every night.
You are always there whenever i m hungry. You never said a word when you saw my dirty clothes. You just smiled and said Hojayega dont worry.
Mamma it is you who had made me what i am today.
Mamma you are the strongest. You were the best for me even in your worse. I still cant make out how you manage to solve issues between me and dad so easily. You are the one 'coz of who we are a loving family. Despite of soo much of differences we love each other and its coz of u mom.
Mamma how can you be soo good, why vent i seen u lying to any1 or even doing any wrong to any1 till date. Mamma how can u be so perfect. Mamma how do u do it.
U r a good daughter, good sister, good friend, good wife, good daughter in law and good mamma. How do you do it.
Mamma i love the way u love me, love the way u love bhaiya and paapa. I just want to be you. I always admire u and so i will try to be you.
You are always there whenever i needed you most. wonder how wud u know? only heaven knows it all... Mamma you were there in the beginnings and you will be there till the end. You are a world to me.
Whenever I am low mom, you are the one who comes to my mind first. I call you and yes I cant share with you that I am upset coz I don’t want to make you upset but trust me mom when I listen to you I realize I have no reason to be upset coz I have you. Love you Ma
PS: i have the worlds best mom.
Proof: the day she discovered she is diabetic she cried a lot. reason? not coz she's sick. It was coz it is a hereditary desease and so any of her children will surely get it so she cried. I owe her my life. I can do anything for her. I know every mom is the best but my mom is the bestest

Mere aaj kal ka haal
Now a days i am a victim of MANIC - Depressive illness. I experience mood swings as often as i see the Sun. I am prone to be showing extreames of Every emotion- be it Love, hate, care etc... I am very Blunt at times (eg. NOW). Very confused in Life. I listen to my heart. I relate my life to songs i listen to. I prefer listening to Hip hop n pop. ROck and heavy metal excites me as well. I like reading books-specially the romantic ones. I can hide my emotions well. Even my near n dear ones cant figure me out. I dont like sharing things about me with people i donno but 'coz i am extremly bored, i am writing this SHIT

Being in UR 20's
I came across this mail long b4 aand found interesting. Saw it today its good not soooo good but worth reading.
It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.
Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure.
You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you're doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. You want to settle down for good because now all of a sudden that becomes top priority. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You begin to think a companion for life is better than a hundred in the shack and for once you would not mind standing tall for that special someone which otherwise you had never thought of until now. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!
What you may not realize is that every one reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out. Send this to your twenty-something friends.... maybe it will help someone feel like they aren't alone in their state of confusion...
We call it the "Quarter-life Crisis".

I think its law if attarction
This always happen with me. I now experiencing the bangalore traffic in real through BMTC busses. My class is just in front of a signal. If the bus wont stop in signal i have to again walk around like 1KM to come back to my class. So wen ever my bus reaches near my class i keep thinking signal red hoja red hoja red hoja. When i am late its sure ki the bus missed the signal n crosses the road n i have to get down in next stop n walk back again to class. When i an 30 mins early to class n i dont think abt the signal"my dear bus" stops at signal for hell lot of time. Grrrrrrrrrrrr
It happens not once but always. I am new to BMTC though old to bangalore. I make it sure i stamp on few or i myself fall a number times on bus. I am still getting used to bus crowd n getting used to the people n bus stops. But one thing is sure, travelling in bus i got to discover many routes in bangalore. Pehle jab meri scooty thi i had known only one way.
I wonder ki jab bhi i am late for class my bus happen to meet with many red signals n i happen to miss few busses or take a wrong us n bla bla. and wen u have lot of time n leave early n i think i can go araamse. My bus always faces green signal in trafic n i get bus many frequently n also no any other drama. every day i leave at 8. thought the class at 9:30 i leave at 8 then there wont be much traffic problems n reach class at 8:50. and wen class is at 9 i leave at 8 n i reach class at 9 :15. coz of traffic signal n bla bla. My badluck? no its law of attraction. Wen i am early to class i dont care abt signals n wen i am late i keep looking at signal n expect it not to be red. The law of attraction acts reverse n the signal turns red. I dont know y i am writting this blog, may be coz i am frustrated with the traffic in bangalore. God plz mujhe isse mukti dilado.
Yes, I dont like pumpkin.
No no no its not about me..... Its about a girl in my PG(Paying Guest house) who happen to stay with us for a while. Lets call her Taany. In our PG there are few ppl who r guess visitors i mean who come to stay for a while like for 2-3 months. Taany happen to be one of them. Cute, cute n cute is the only word i got in my mind wen i saw her. I was shocked for a sec. when i heard she just passed her 12th n here for some CLaw coaching. Had a nice time with her.
So here's a pumpkin story. Mere PG ka khaana (good but still its mess food yaar). logon ke dil me bas jaata hai ki mess food not good though it taste's same as home food but still hum comment karte hain. Once we had some sabzi in dinner. I tasted it, it tasted weird so i served myself some ketchup n roti. Then i saw other they wer enjoying food, so the conversation between me n taany went like this:
Me:Tum ye sabzi kha rahi ho?
Taany: Haan kyun? achi hai,Aloo ki sabzi toh hai :P
Me: acha u have pumpkin also?
Taany: no me pumpkin kabhi nahi khaati.
Me: toh ye kya hai, the sabzi has pumpkin smashed in it. The oranfe thing is pumpkin n yellow is aloo.
Taany: arey nahi,. Then she had a close look at the sabzi. She kept the plate n went out. when i asked she said i dont like pumpkin, i have never had it. But the funny part it. B4 i tel her there's pumpkin in the sabzi she was enjoying it, n now wen i said her its pumpkin, its not tasting good.
I never knew that sabzi ka naam also matters. so i say naam pe mat jaao apni zabaan lagao(i mean taste pe jaao). he he he

I never imagined I could ever prepare Dhoklas at home..As we've always had it from snack shops. They would have a huge tray on the counter, cut into with big square shaped pieces. Often served with green chutney and fried green chillies, it tastes delicious. I still believe, street food is the best food!!! Ofcourse discount the hygiene factor..:-)
Ingredients:
2 cups gram flour,
1 cup sour curds,
2 tsp ginger-green chilli paste,
1 tbsp oil,
1 tsp fruit salt or sweet soda(cooking soda) (ENO),
1 tsp lemon juice,
1/2 cup warm water,
Salt as per taste
For tempering:
2 tbsp oil,
1 tsp mustard seeds,
1 tsp sesame seeds,
grated coconut
Method:
1.)Combine the gram flour, sour curd, and 1/2 cup of warm water in a bowl and mix till smooth. Set aside for 45 mins.
2.) Add the ginger-green chilli past, oil and salt and mix well.
3.) Grease a 7 inch diameter thali and set aside.
4.) Just before steaming add the fruit salt and lemon juice. Fold the batter once bubbles form, very gently.
5.) Pour the batter immediately into the greased thali and spread the batter evenly.
6.) Steam for 15 to 20 mins or till a skewer inserted comes out clean.
7.) For the tempering, heat the remaining oil. Add the mustard seeds and sesame seeds. Once the seeds crackle add asafoetida and 2 tbsp of water. Pour the tempering over the prepared dhoklas.
8.) Cool slightly and cut into equal pieces. Garnish with coriander and green chilli and serve hot.
Tips:
Add the fruit salt to the batter just before you are ready to steam the dhoklas, or they will not rise.
The water in the steamer/cooker should be boiling before you put in the uncooked batter, so that the dhoklas will cook faster and rise well.
The more u garnish the more delecious it turns good. U can have it with a combination of green and sweet chutney.
Ingredients
Powdered sugar : 1 cup
Butter : ½ cup
Milk powder : 1 cup
Cocoa powder : ½ cup
Water : ¼ cup
Method
Set microwave to high power.
In a bowl, mix sugar and water and keep it in the oven for 4 - 5 minutes.
Check to see if it has attained a two string consistency.
That is, if we take the syrup between the tip of our fingers and stretch our fingers two strings of syrup should appear.
Add butter and keep the bowl in the oven for1 minute.
Remove from the oven, add milk powder, cocoa powder and mix well.
Pour this on greased plate or chocolate moulds to set.
If needed we can garnish it with cashew, badam, pista etc.
P.S.: Add roasted almonds and raisens and more nuts to the mixture. If u follow the procedure corredtly u'll end up making delicious chocolate as good as Gadbury Temptations.
ALL The best

My birthday come back and surprize
As I say my birthday’s are always special. So far enjoyed with my bunch of frenz for almost 12 years suddenly last year everything changed. A fren got married I relocated to b’lore and was worried don’t know there’s no excitement and wat’ll I do on my b’day no plans nothing. Thanks to my Dr. frenz in PG who made my day with a surprise party. But this year again a different situation. All my Dr. frenz are settled in all different places and I ‘ve landed here at home. As December approached I was worried and upset as to what to do. How will I celebrate my day. I almost thought ok I’m grown up so may be I shud stop being childish and be serious. No party nothing just pray and wish myself. And here I get a secret talk by some1 that my little cousins (who are in school 1st std to 7th std) are not willing to go for their Christmas vacation trip. They want to stay back and give me a surprise. They actually were practicing for some dance and singing just for me. I was completely glad and happy happy. Then I asked one of those bribing with some tofies that are u guys doing this I heard somewhere. That idiot said no we aren’t. trust me. What do u think? Mom ‘ll leave us do that a? Then I thought may be that was a rumour but still has a hope. Then here started my shopping for my birthday with the start of December. I this time have end up buying 4 pair of dresses for my birthday. Yet not satisfied coz I felt may be I didn’t get the one I needed. Then thought anyways its not gonna be a special day and ‘ll be as a normal day so did no much purchase. Yeah but on my b’day I wear everything new and use all new. (includes tooth brush to paste to moisturizer, shoes, everything). Don’t have a budget to ‘ve new jewelery Insha Allah I’ll one day.
24th December I made it sure that I reminded all possible people abt my b’day. My granny, my pappa, my mom and brothers every1 and many of my frenz. Ok it’s the night I was all set to wish myself first for my b’day. There a knock at my door. Who’s it? Some khalbali inside me….. opened the door OMG I see my 2 brothers and bhabhi with a cake and candle on it. I was sooo happy I cudn’t say a word. But wrong timing it was still 10 mins for 12. Then I called my younger bro who was fast asleep (he was in pune so). Started screaming don’t u ‘ve shame its my b’day.get up and wish me all are here and wait still 5 mins there. Then ok here the clock ticks and the b’day song started happy b’day to u (ahhhh I love this song). My y’bro asked hogaya? Me so jaon? Ok bye kal mamma ke paar tumhare gift pada hai le le na ok. Baad me b’day cake ka imp kaam hua. Sab mujpe paint ho gaya. Well later my elder bro heard a beep from my cell. I tried to hide but I cudn’t see. It was actually my b’day reminder on my own cell lolz. All started laughing like hell. Then I explained in case I forget to wish myself. Ok that was the begening. Later mom and dad Wished me and shouted on bro ki humko kyun nahi bola abt the cake and all. We wud have joind (mom aur dad jawaan ho rahe hain ROFL).followed by many phone call wishes by frenz. Lated at 3 I started jotting down who all wished me. Did any1 important forgot. I remembered 2 ppl. Called up and started shouting how cud u do this. How can u sleep nicely on this very big day of mine. How dare u n all.. After some pause I got a voice from other end, “Y wat happen? Whats today?” it got on my nerves and I again started its 25th Dec for ur kind info. “Of ‘m sooo very sorry, I didnt forget ur b’day, I just didn’t notice the date. “m so sorry I owe u for this. And blab la bla.” Here me saying gain are u gonna wish me or not now? Oh ‘m sooo sorry. ?Happy b’day baby. Now 2nd call but not reachable . Forget it ‘ll see to it tomorrow. Its ur day darling enjoy. With some good melodious music I slept again.
At exact 4:30 again a knock at my door. OMG I don’t believe this, my sooo little cousins standing right in front of my door and singing me b’day song just like ppl sing carol in front of ur door. I called them in and started serving them the left over cake. What do I see. One of them went out and bought the cake which they were hiding near the door. They said 4:30 hogaye kya? Ok chalo cake kaato. AAp 4:30 ko he aayi thi na is world me. SO nice of them. I almost started crying, hugging and crying. It was a home made cake. Glad that aunt also helped for that. Felt like the princess. Ok chalo its very cold u all go back ‘ll meet in the morning. I came back with lots of joy in my heart. Slept and ya cud not coz I had calls and calls. Special special. I woke up early had to get blessings from dad and mom. It was ten and I was out of bed. New day new year everything new. Got ready and took blessings and all. It was Friday so Prayer and prayer service all over and so eat up my half day with this stuff. A visit to church was must and met frenz. When I came back home surprise, my wudbe bhabi had sent a gift and a bigggggggg cake again. And my cuttie cousins reay with their arrangements. Poor cutties so eagerly waiting for me coz they had to leave for their vacation trip, they managed to stay till 25th bugging their parents. All my fav. Songs and dance. I was the guest of honour. Wow it feels so good. After that the same old b’day party went on. Oh ‘m tired. Now time to unpack the gifts Which a got from 2 days thanks to fast courier service. Finished all tasks and tired completely, off to bed jotting down names of all who missed to wish me. Koi baat nahi dekhlenge kameeno ko. Slept with lots of joy and happiness.
See I told u I didn’t expect and still I birthday turned out to be special. No wonder ‘m excited abt my birthdays.
P.S.: Thanks to all who made it special. Sorry to many whose call I cudn’t attended. But ur wishes are counted, U remember to wish that really worth it.
Thought for this year:
What if you were an alien that just beamed onto Earth and you didn’t know the rules? What if you didn’t know the way things were done and you were free to create a solution to any problem or expand any opportunity? Chances are, you’d tap into your reservoir of creativity and create brand new solutions and possibilities.
