Reason being, most of the dramas on OTT platforms (most prominent examples being Mirzapur, Sacred Games etc.) are loaded with nudity, violence and bad language. One likes to watch good drama, but not at the cost of getting uncomfortable watching a person's eye popped out of his skull on being shot at. Thankfully, Maharani came out totally clean, atleast on the nudity and extreme violent scenes aspect. Considering the plot, expecting abuse free dialogues would be too much.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The series is based on the political scenarios in Bihar in the late 90s. Being a 90s kid, the series just took me back in time when Rabri Devi became the first Chief Minister of Bihar. Although, the makers have tried to stay clear of any possible controversies by clarifying in the beginning itself that the series is fictional, one can easily draw a lot of parallels between the plot and the actual turn of events back then. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">So the story goes like this...Rani (Huma Qureshi), is a simple housewife living in a Bihar village with her three children. While she happens to be the wife of the Chief Minister of Bihar, Bheema Bharti (Sohum Shah), that in no way affects her humility and simplicity. Having no interest in politics, Rani's world revolves around her husband, children, housework and cattle. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Rani's life changes overnight on an uneventful Chhath eve, when her husband Bheema Bharti is shot in his own village by some unidentified men. The same Rani who had vowed never to leave her village, is forced to move to Patna to attend to her husband. Bheema barely survives the assassination attempt and a paralytic attack however, the future of the CM's seat goes in for a limbo. Amidst joyous opposition leaders and jealous party members, ready to grab the post, Bheema plays a master stroke, by announcing his wife, Rani as the next Chief Minister. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">As an unaware Rani brings a tray of tea cups to serve to party members, she is shocked by the shower of garlands and congratulatory messages. She is shell shocked to find her on the position she has never understood or liked. For the initial few days as the Chief Minister Rani is shown to be furious and non cooperative as a child who doesn't wish to be sent to school. But when there are attacks on her self esteem and abilities, the queen decides to take charge and famously states in the legislative assembly "The lady who can manage a house, can manage the state." The screenplay, indeed justifies the description as despite being the Chief Minister, Rani is shown to be the loving and caring wife and mother - isn't that the ideal working Indian woman that all husbands and in laws desire?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Struggling to stay afloat in the high tide of political events, the innocent Rani is shown to learn tricks of the trade hard way and often falls prey to conflicts and controversies. As the show progresses, Rani is shaken to discover the muddy reality of the politics that is her husband's first love. But, like the real queen, an honest and sincere Rani is determined to save her state from the corrupted few. In the male dominated political map, she is often compared with Indira Gandhi by her critics and mocked at. Like all women centric political dramas, the protagonist always has to win. Hence, despite all odds, the directors do find some success in throwing some hard to believe events and Rani playing the perfect check mate. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The screenplay is very gripping and focusses on various issues faced by Bihar in the 90s - caste system, Naxal upsurge, position of women and the infamous scams that once ruled the headlines. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Huma Qureshi as Rani does justice to the role in every sense and has worked hard to replicate the typical Bihari accent as well. I actually went back to episode 2 after reaching the 8th or 9th episode, just to notice how effortlessly Huma portrayed the drastic transformation from Rani to CM madam.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">While Sohum Shah has the obvious meaty role, it is Amit Sial who leaves the audience impressed with his expressions and dialogues, despite being the lead antagonist. For those who have watched Pramod Pathak as the pervert politician in Mirzapur, his portrayal of the loyal Mishraji is a welcome change. Inammulhaq as Pervez Alam with his cute Bangla accent is the hidden surprise. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Leaving aside some hard to believe scenes, overall the makers of Maharani have proved that a combination of good script and great actors can be the perfect delicacy without the unwanted tampering of nudity and extremely violent scenes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>My Rating</b> - 3.5/5 </span></div>Shaivihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11860737840467816127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920754667576349961.post-23227408857836623262021-06-19T15:37:00.004+05:302021-06-19T15:37:43.539+05:30Trippin' with the Kandasamys (2021)<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi050m7kfu5-u1mgOatGolrmQHKkZARA-CFcWpj4kzQTvULUSXfP7XHw5hJ5rr84grl3cSLnjPsRgxUpEvCCNdFdMW_Nr_-ChByNkEs3QoqvO5a1BfFOz75ejy8RQbxhE2zqcBLzfc221Kp/s660/MV5BOWQ0YzNjYzItY2RkNS00MDM0LWEzMmUtY2RjZjYzMDQ0Mzg5XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTEzMTI1Mjk3._V1_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="330" data-original-width="660" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi050m7kfu5-u1mgOatGolrmQHKkZARA-CFcWpj4kzQTvULUSXfP7XHw5hJ5rr84grl3cSLnjPsRgxUpEvCCNdFdMW_Nr_-ChByNkEs3QoqvO5a1BfFOz75ejy8RQbxhE2zqcBLzfc221Kp/w400-h200/MV5BOWQ0YzNjYzItY2RkNS00MDM0LWEzMmUtY2RjZjYzMDQ0Mzg5XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTEzMTI1Mjk3._V1_.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><b>Genre</b> - Comedy/Family/Drama<br /></span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><b>Director</b> -Jayan Moodley</span><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa;"><b>Cast</b> - </span><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa;">Mariam Bassa, </span><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa;">Maeshni Naicker, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">Jailoshini Naidoo, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">Koobeshan Naidoo, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">Yugan Naidoo, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;">Madhushan Singh</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"> <br /></span></span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"><b>Duration</b> - </span><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa;">93 minutes<br /></span></span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: #f8f9fa;"><span><b>Watch It on </b>- Netflix</span></span></span></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>My View</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">So, Netflix suggested this movie to me on a lazy Sunday afternoon. With masala dosa and sambar dancing in my tummy, the last thing I wanted to watch was something where my brain was required. From the face of it, the movie promised lot of humour and fun! However, only after finishing the movie did I realise that I had accidentally watched the sequel of the famous South African movie series without watching the previous parts! But even if you start with the latest part like me, the warmth of the Kandasamys will make you feel like you have known them all this while.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The plot is pretty simple and relatable to the Indian context. Neighbour cum friends, Jennifer and Shanti are facing the midlife crisis. With their children almost out of the nest and husbands taking them for granted, Jennifer and Shanti had been struggling to get the spice in their married life back. That's when they decide to take a romantic vacation with their husbands. Shanti's 50th birthday was the perfect occasion!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Soon they realise that the vacation they were hoping to rekindle the romance in their life turns out to be a grand family reunion, as their carefree husbands had secretly invited the children and mom in law!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">To add fuel to the fire, Shanti's hubby Preggie invites his sister, Baby to accompany them to the vacation. While Preggie justifies the intrusion as his way of helping his sister get over a heartbreak, the bold and beautiful Baby is hardly a deserving candidate for anybody's pity. To Jennifer's horror, Baby is almost always hitting on her husband Elvis, who seems to be enjoying all the attention! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">As if uncaring husbands and a sarcastic mother in law wasn't enough, all hell breaks down on Jennifer and Shanti when Baby announces she is moving in with them for good. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">That's when Jennifer and Shanti wage a secret war against Baby to save their marriages and sanity.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The movie then goes through waves of humour, drama and overwhelming emotional moments. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Almost all characters, go crazy and silly for their age, including Jennifer's mother in law, who can't hold back her double meaning statements and addiction to gambling. The only sensible characters are Shanti's son Prishen, and his wife and Jennifer's daughter Jodie who, on the face seem like the perfect couple, but deep down are struggling with the agony of the failure to conceive!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There are moments that will make you go LOL, and then there will also be moments that are meant to be funny but fail in tickling the funny bone. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Like all Indian movies, all goes well towards the end even here, the viewers do feel a bond with the crazy yet strong willed Jennifer and Shanti. How they end up making their husbands realise their worth is well, for you to watch. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Overall, a good time pass, light hearted comedy. The song towards the end is supposed to be inspired by the big budget Bollywood movies, but rather looks funny, half baked and can be conveniently skipped. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Now that I have discovered this South African brand of movies, I look forward to spending another lazy afternoon with one of Kandasamys older movies!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>My Rating</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">3/5</span></p><p><br /></p>Shaivihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11860737840467816127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920754667576349961.post-55542664051074677652021-06-13T21:58:00.000+05:302021-06-13T21:58:27.464+05:30Movie - Instant Family (2018)<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms", sans-serif" style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms", sans-serif" style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUXJPAYnLnfekMl_BN78HNC4QcxohhH7FKmAH0ae8Zq8ccq_lk0B_KRhdo4zxHW9_YTz_hTSffDvMxf0eVAEd0iKoCZV4oxSs4rhJUVt6ZElsHjCF9VSaGR18OiVZfJt2U2n3hOjdwJWiD/s2048/MV5BMTkzMzgzMTc1OF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNjQ4MzE0NjM%2540._V1_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1390" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUXJPAYnLnfekMl_BN78HNC4QcxohhH7FKmAH0ae8Zq8ccq_lk0B_KRhdo4zxHW9_YTz_hTSffDvMxf0eVAEd0iKoCZV4oxSs4rhJUVt6ZElsHjCF9VSaGR18OiVZfJt2U2n3hOjdwJWiD/w271-h400/MV5BMTkzMzgzMTc1OF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNjQ4MzE0NjM%2540._V1_.jpg" width="271" /></a></div><br /><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms", sans-serif" style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><b>Genre</b> – Family-Comedy-Drama-Emotional<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms", sans-serif" style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><b>Director</b> – Sean Anders</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms", sans-serif" style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><b>Duration</b> – 118 minutes<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms", sans-serif" style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><b>Cast</b> – Mark Wahlberg, Rose Byrne, Isabela Merced, Gustavo Escobar, Julianna Gamiz<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms", sans-serif" style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><b>Watch it on</b> – Netflix</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms", sans-serif" style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><b>My View</b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><span>In these gloomy and tough times, one feels rather scared to switch on the TV or even login to social media, for the media is flooded with stories of pain, loss and grief. Having lost my brother few months ago to the deadly pandemic, I can say that the ones who are left behind are called survivors for a reason and the only option left with them is to pick up the broken pieces of their life and try to drag to move on. In such a pursuit of diverting my mind, I was browsing through movies on Netflix when </span><span> Instant Family popped up as a suggestion. Not in a mood for serious stuff, I thought let's give it a try and the movie proved to be an excellent cheer me up on a gloomy evening. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">The movie is based on director Sean Anders's personal experience of adopting 3 siblings. Perhaps that's why the director was so effortlessly able to bring up the issue of adoption while sticking to the genre of family comedy drama. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">A happy go lucky childless couple Peter and Elle are passionate about giving old properties a makeover. One day, Elle purchases a property and decides to do a turn it over into a beautiful house for her sister. However, when she reveals the property to her sister and her husband, their sarcasm leads to an argument which gets Peter and Elle thinking about adopting children. Soon, they enrol for a foster care program. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">While attending an adoption fair, they find it tough to zero down on a prospective kid. However, Peter finds himself drawn towards a group of teenagers, whom nobody was interested in adopting. Despite Elle's warnings, Peter tries to approach them and is welcomed by a raw and blunt 15 year old Lizzy who asks Peter and Elle to stop showing pity and look for younger children who almost everyone preferred to adopt. Peter and Elle develop an instant liking for the brave and straight forward Lizzy and immediately express their desire of wanting to adopt her. However, that this was a package deal, for Lizzy came with her two younger siblings, Juan and Lita. Now you see, why the title is Instant Family!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">While Peter and Elle were brave enough to adopt the three siblings, little did they know what they were signing up for. While the first few days were a dream family come true, soon they too joined the league of parents sharing their horror stories at the foster parents support group! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">By the way...biological or adopted...who said parenting was easy?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><span>And thus began Peter and Elle's struggle with parenting their three adopted kids.

Having grown up on Bollywood, regional cinema feels like a breath of fresh air! This is the first Marathi movie I am blogging about however, this isn't the first one I have watched. These are not one of your pompous, big budget, big star cast movies, but these are carefully picked stories from everyday life situations, which instantly make a connection. Almost like when you eat home cooked food after days of surviving on restaurant food! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This evening, I chanced upon Muramba (Sweet n Sour...AKA Murabba in Hindi) on Netflix. Honestly, my reason for picking this up was Sachin Khedekar, for I have loved his work in every other Marathi movie I have watched. But after watching the movie, I fell in love with the entire cast!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">While most Bollywood movies portray parents as Pyar Ke Dushman, Muramba is a reverse case altogether!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">After being in a relationship for 3 years, childhood friends Alok and Indu decide to part ways. Alok, a Gold medallist in MBA, is unsure about what he wants to pursue his life and ends up quitting any job that tries to take him out of his comfort zone. This puts off his girlfriend Indu who is serious about her career in the advertising world. But when Indu is unable to get Alok to get serious about doing something in life, she decides to take up a job in Kerela and a broken Alok ends up calling it quits. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">However, little did Alok & Indu know that more than them, it was Alok's parents who were serious about the relationship. The breakup comes as a shock to them, for they had weaved dreams of welcoming Indu as their doting daughter in law. But not the ones to give up, Alok's parents decide to mend the matters. From making futile attempts to counsel Alok, sharing their own experiences, getting out of their comfort zone to get Alok and Indu to talk about their breakup, they make every possible attempt to unite the couple. The movie oscillates between present and flashbacks, as Alok begins to reflects upon how things went from being sweet to sour between him and Indu and finally both Alok and Indu admit that as individuals, they might be having their shortcomings and insecurities, but united they strengthen each other. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The real charm of the movie is the sweetness of Alok's parents. Alok, in an attempt to ignite hatred in their hearts, tells them that Indu parties and drinks. However, instead of throwing a fit, Alok's father orders Indu's favourite white wine for everyone at a dinner and even gets his wife to try it out. You watch and wonder, is it for real?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">While I am a fan of Sachin Khedekar, this time Chinmayee Sumit impressed me with her portrayal of a simple homemaker from Dharwad, who goes out of her comfort zone to do everything to unite the couple. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Mithila Parker, was her usual fab, but Amey Wagh was so good at depicting Alok - confused and rebellious on the outside, but insecure and child like on the inside. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Watch the movie with your parents on a lazy evening and you will love it for its simple and effortless portray of such deep emotions!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">By the way, the movie won several awards at Filmfare Marathi! So in case you too haven't had much flavour of regional cinema, start with the sweet and sour Muramba!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>Shaivihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11860737840467816127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920754667576349961.post-88709083148481506272021-04-10T21:30:00.010+05:302021-04-10T21:42:58.423+05:30Book Review - Here, There and Everywhere - Best Loved Stories of Sudha Murthy<h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; position: relative;"><b style="color: #4e2800; font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></b></h3><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; position: relative; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #4e2800; font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">Author</b><span style="color: #4e2800; font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"> - </span><span style="color: #4e2800; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">Sudha Murthy</span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-4576154633366350849" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 626px;"><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span face=""Trebuchet MS", sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Publisher</b> - Penguin Books</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span face=""Trebuchet MS", sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Genre</b> - Non-Fiction</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span face=""Trebuchet MS", sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Pages </b>- 243</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span face=""Trebuchet MS", sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Price - </b>Rs. 250</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span face=""Trebuchet MS", sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><b><span face=""Trebuchet MS", sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">First Impressions</span></b></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><b><span face=""Trebuchet MS", sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmso2rf6pFAXP5MD7IiH2PBPmksgIofGsw9NoL9VqLYQxtHcO6FAtrlwTeDhc3H045kSXc3NguVw0kXTG-5LleZwiWboiRfF6PLZASkvcHGHark8chPvCoR7MeF26dK5qP6T4hQL0lYC3K/s2048/1618069365041.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmso2rf6pFAXP5MD7IiH2PBPmksgIofGsw9NoL9VqLYQxtHcO6FAtrlwTeDhc3H045kSXc3NguVw0kXTG-5LleZwiWboiRfF6PLZASkvcHGHark8chPvCoR7MeF26dK5qP6T4hQL0lYC3K/w300-h400/1618069365041.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><span face=""Trebuchet MS", sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">This is the first book authored by Sudha Murthy M'am that I have read. I usually address authors in their name, but after watching her interviews, reading about the work she does and reading about her experiences in this book, it would have been very rude of me not to give her the respect we all give to school teachers. Hence, I address her as M'am. </span></span></div><div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I am sure if you are a book lover in India, you must have definitely watched or read at least one interview of Sudha M'am. While her simple living high thinking nature impresses us all, one can't help but be charmed by her smile...the kind of friendly smile your mom or teachers would give you when they would give you important lessons in life in a very friendly manner. Hence, the simple and smiling face of Sudha M'am greets you on the cover, as if asking you to join her over a cup of coffee and a warm conversation about life. </span></div><div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span face=""Trebuchet MS", sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span face=""Trebuchet MS", sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">My View</span></b></div><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"></p><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">When this book was released more than a year ago, I casually picked it up influenced by the hype. However, life got busy and the book was lying unread and forgotten in my carton of books. Fortunately, few days ago, as I was browsing through videos on youtube, I came across an interview of Sudha M'am with Mr. Shashi Tharoor. While I was obviously impressed by her simplicity and out of the league thoughts, her smile reminded me that I had seen this face somewhere before. It didn't take me long to remember that I had seen this smiling face on the cover of a book lying with me. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So the next day itself I pampered myself to this book. Before I had finished the 100th page, I couldn't resist ordering few more books of hers, as I had already fallen in love with her writing!</span></div><p></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"></p><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Here, There and Everywhere, as the title suggests, is a compilation of stories and incidents from Sudha M'am's life. These may not be stories that have been garnished with flowery language, illustrations or elaborate description of the subjects to hold readers' interest, but these are stories of the common people we come across in our daily life. Yet, these are stories that will leave the readers hooked on till the last page. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">We all have had conversations with our mothers/teachers/aunts/grannies where they shared incidents from their life inspiring us to become a better version of ourselves. While reading the book, that is the same feeling one gets. </span></span></div><p></p><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"></p><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The stories are basically snippets from Sudha M'am's life. The subjects are diverse, ranging from a beggar in the train to a multibillionaire in the US, to a devdasi in a temple. But the common thread that binds all stories is the fact that the situations and the subjects seem very relatable. These may be the people we may have come across and ignored in our busy lives. But the author, in her subtle and simple fashion reminds us of what we could have done with a little more compassion and empathy in that interaction. </span></span></div><div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">One may say that it is easy to have such incidents to quote, for Sudha M'am has been a globe trotting philanthropist. However, as you read the book, you come across several inspiring people who, without any money or resources have been able to contribute to the betterment of their fellow human beings. Be it the amma from the remote village who treats every child delivered by her in the village as her own, or Sudha M'am's own grandfather who taught her the value of giving the best while donatng, or Kashibai, who raised the orphaned son of her Muslim neighbour as her own. There are however, some stories which are eye openers about the reality of relationships that we so heavily count upon. </span></span></div><div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Many stories are just lessons from the life of a young woman growing up, stories of her struggles, triumphs and failures. But the common message one gets is that one shouldn't give up on efforts when the intent is right. </span></span></div><p></p><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><b><span face=""Trebuchet MS", sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Hits</span></b></div><p style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"></p><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The best part about the book is that Sudha M'am pours her heart out in each story, which makes the narration so powerful that by the time one flips the last page, the heart is already introspecting upon our understanding of compassion and empathy. </span></div><div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The language is very simple and crisp so anybody can read this. The writing is so powerful that one literally enters the world of the protagonist. Ultimately, it is the message that matters, not the packaging. </span></span></div><div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I remember while in school, our curriculum had Hindi and English books which had inspirational stories which taught us to be better human beings. In today's times, when children automatically gravitate towards immense materialism in their formative years, making them read such books in their academic life will not only make them value the quality of life they have, but also understand the aspects of life which really matter. </span></span></div><p></p><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">My Rating</b></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">4.5/5</b></div></div></div>Shaivihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11860737840467816127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920754667576349961.post-89609302315636851912020-07-09T21:33:00.001+05:302020-07-09T21:34:00.144+05:30True friendship and humble beginnings<div class="kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><font size="5">The humble besan cheela is as dear to me as the first best friend in childhood.

शायद बचपन में ही बारिश पसंद थी मुझे. बस. स्कूल से लौटकर अगर बारिश आ रही हो, तो खाना खाने से पहले बारिश में भीगना तो बनता ही था. अपने घर की हरी भरी बालकनी में मैं जमकर बारिश का मज़ा उठाती. क्यूंकि घर पहली मंज़िल पे था और मालती और चमेली की बेल काफी हद तक प्राइवेसी दिला देती थीं, मैं बारिश में ऐसे नाचती और नहाती की जैसे कोई देख न रहा हो! अंग्रेजी में कहते हैं न "dance like nobody is watching you" बस वैसे ही.<br />
<br />
फिर पता नहीं कब बड़े हो गए.<br />
<br />
जीवन में कितने सारे नियम बन गए. बालकनी से ज़्यादा देर तक नहीं झांकना. अच्छी लड़कियां ऐसे नहीं करती. सरे आम बारिश में नहीं नहा सकते. अच्छा नहीं लगता. और न जाने क्या क्या.<br />
<br />
जैसे जैसे जीवन की व्यस्तता बढ़ती गयी, बारिश महज़ चाय पकोड़े लेकर बालकनी या खिड़की से बूंदों को देखने तक ही सीमित रह गयी. कभी कभी मैं और पतिदेव बारिश में लोधी गार्डन जाते सैर करने, और बेहद खुबसुरत अनुभव होता वह.<br />
<br />
मुंबई ने इस सुखद अनुभव में भी ज़्यादा नमक डाल दिया.<br />
<br />
मुंबई की वो पहली बारिश आज भी मुझे याद है...<br />
<br />
मैं मुंबई कभी आना नहीं चाहती थी. दिल्ली ही मेरी सब कुछ थी. लेकिन जीवन इतना परिवर्तनशील और ज़िद्दी है की अक्सर जिस चीज़ से हम दूर भागते हैं, वही हमारे जीवन का एक अभिन्न अंग बन जाती है.<br />
<br />
खैर....मैं मुंबई आ ही गयी.<br />
<br />
संयोग तो देखिये, हम मुंबई में जिस दिन आये उसके अगले दिन ही बारिश ने दस्तक दे दी. मानो हमारा स्वागत कर रही हो.<br />
<br />
मुंबई की बारिश दिल्ली की बारिश से काफी अलग है. न बादल, न आंधी, न गर्जन. बस ये तो कहीं भी, कभी भी, कैसे भी शुरू हो जाती है. दिल्ली की बारिश कुछ मिनटों में शांत हो जाती है. लेकिन मुंबई तो ऐसे बरसता है, मानो किसी ने पानी का नल ही खोल दिया हो. आप रुकें भी तो कितना. इसलिए यहां के लोग बारिश में भी चलते रहते हैं. रेनकोट, छाता और जूतों के सहारे. मुंबई नहीं रूकती।<br />
<br />
कुछ दिन तो सब ठीक चला. सामान दिल्ली से नहीं आया था तो पतिदेव रोज़ दफ्तर छोड़ देते और शाम को लेने भी आ जाते. पर एक सप्ताह बाद मेरी गाड़ी घर के सामान के साथ आ गईं. फिर तो मुझे एकेले ही दफ्तर जाना था. सोचा, जब ओखली में सर दे दिया है दो मूसल से क्या डरना!<br />
<br />
वो सुबह मैं भूल ही नहीं सकती.<br />
<br />
अपनी गाड़ी से मैं दफ्तर के सामने वाली पार्किंग में उतरी. हाथ में फोल्ड हो जाने वाली एक प्यारी सी छतरी, दिल्ली से लिया हुआ मेरा अच्छा सा महंगा बैग, सुंदर सैंडल्स पहने जैसे ही मैं गाड़ी से उतरी और पार्किंग के निकास की तरफ बढ़ी की एकाएक झमाझम बारिश शुरू हो गयी. बचने का तो सवाल ही नहीं उठता था. खुली पार्किंग में ऐसी कोई जगह नहीं थी जहाँ मैं पांच मिनट सर छुपा सकती। लेकिन रुकने का फायदा भी कहाँ था. बारिश कौनसी रुकने वाली थी और दफ्तर के लिए वैसे ही देर हो रही थी.<br />
<br />
अब सोचती हूँ, शायद रुक ही जाती तो यह कड़वी याद न बनती.<br />
<br />
मैंने छतरी खोली और चलना शुरू कर दिया. चार कदम भी नहीं चली थी की बारिश से मेरी छतरी पलट गयी (बाद में समझ आया की मुंबई वाले इतने बड़े बड़े छाते लेकर क्यों चलते हैं). हवा इतनी तेज़ थी की लाख कोशिश के बावजूद वो छतरी ठीक नहीं हुई. जब तक मैं कुछ सम्भलती, मैं बुरी तरह भीग चुकी थी. बारिश के पानी से बैग और जूतों को दूर रखना चाहिए. यहां तो मेरा बैग और सैंडल्स बारिश के पानी में डूब चुके थे. चश्मे से कुछ नहीं दिख रहा था क्यूंकि बारिश ने उसे भी नहीं छोड़ा.<br />
<br />
उस दिन हिंदी फिल्मों की हेरोइन की तरह मैं भी बारिश में खूब रोइ. बारिश की बूंदो में मेरे आंसू भी घुल गए. मुंबई आने के निर्णय के लिए कभी ईश्वर को कोसा, कभी अपने पति को, और सबसे ज़्यादा स्वयं को. पर अब पछताय होत क्या जब चिड़िया चुग गयी खेत!<br />
<br />
आज मुंबई में रहते हुए ये मेरी छठी बारिश है. बारिश से मेरा नाता आज भी वैसा ही है. बस अब उतना रोना नहीं आता. बारिश के लिए बैग, जूते, कपड़े सब अलग होते हैं. बड़े बड़े छाते होते हैं.<br />
<br />
बारिश से दोस्ती तो नहीं हुई, लेकिन इस दुश्मन से झूझना अब सीख लिया है. क्यूंकि मुंबई में रहना है तो बारिश का डटके सामना तो करना ही पड़ेगा.<br />
<br />
पर मुंबई की वो सुबह, वो बारिश और वो आंसू मैं कभी नहीं भूल सकती.<br />
<br />

The good old friend blogging was terribly missed.</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4">I began blogging with so much zing sometime in 2012 while pursuing MBA.

They meet, they click. Then passion takes over in such a big way that they are inseparable. As time passes, the passionate flames do get subsided to some extent. But not love. Whether times are good or bad, it is each other the lovers look forward to for sharing their feelings. And time spent becomes an irrelevant factor. </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4">Such is relationship between me and my blog. </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4">I had never ever imagined a day would come when my posting frequency would drop down to 2 posts a year (2019). </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4">But, being a working mom changes everything beyond one's imagination. </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4">However, I am glad I returned before an year.

When people asked me about my blog, I would give a shy smile and make excuses or in better words, try to justify my absence. People understood and slowly they too stopped asking.</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4">Then few days ago, my niece messaged me that she is starting a blog and wanted me to review and give my feedback. The fact that she had been in so much awe of my blogging and considered me her inspiration jolted the blogger inside me and I decided to blog again.</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4">It wasn't easy due to a plethora of things in my to do list everyday. </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4">But the sheer thought of blogging again did something great to me. </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="arial" size="4">The ideas came back to my mind.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Getting Ragi in my daily routine had been on my wish list for quite sometime, especially after moving to Maharashtra and getting to know about the benefits of this superfood. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My chai is incomplete without biscuits, be it any time of the day. In my quest to adopt healthy lifestyle, I recently realised that I was eating about 5-6 Marie biscuits per cup of tea! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Even though packaged Marie biscuits look innocent and the labels try to further convince you they are healthy, the fact is that they are loaded with hidden calories. I realised it more when I began my attempts to bake my own biscuits. I could never get the perfect texture or finish and I would wonder how the packaged biscuits get it right in every single piece! Well, the secret lies in the various chemicals masked under the head raising agents mentioned in the ingredients. Don't believe me, read one yourself! Except for Amul biscuits, I have hardly seen biscuits that use even pure good butter. Mr. Hubby once ordered online some nice homemade biscuits made with wholewheat flour, jaggery and ghee. However, after reading the price label, I couldn't even eat one!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Necessity is the mother of invention. So, after various failed attempts and learning from my mistakes, I finally got them right. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I discovered Mawa Cake after moving to Mumbai. Once you eat Mawa Cake, you will realize you never had anything like this before. Soft, crumbly and aromatic, a Mawa cake is the perfect accompaniment for teatime. While initially I pampered myself to the Mawa Cake from the local Bangalore Iyenger Bakery nearby, once I discovered this recipe on <a href="https://gayathriscookspot.com/2013/09/eggless-mawa-cake/" target="_blank">Gayathri's blog</a>, I decided to give it a try albeit tweaking the measurements a bit. The cake came out great and was happily finished the same day by my family.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>At the busy BKC-CST Road signal, when I was sulking over how each day traffic multiplies</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>I caught gazing at me from the adjacent Auto, a pair of eyes.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This was no eveteaser, the gaze didn't have an uncomfortable feel,</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>This was a pair of beautiful Kohled eyes, gazing at me from behind a veil.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Perhaps my blue sleeveless blouse and green saree caught her attention,</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>The narrowing corners of her eyes hinted at a complimenting smile and I smiled in reciprocation.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A mixed bag of emotions behind those eyes could be seen.</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Sadly, the sisterhood lasted 60 seconds and the signal went green.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just then, her gaze signalled me to look down,</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>The sight would have surely made her mother frown!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">She pulled up her Burqa for a moment & I spotted chic red pencil heels,</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>But the trendy pair of jeans covering her calfs was the real fashion steal!</i></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Mr. Hubby has a habit of picking up stuff on impulse which, if he doesn't like is left to my mercy to be either thrown out or remixed. Few months ago, while shopping at D Mart, he picked up two packets of Amul Pro (Amul's counterpart of Bournvita. I will refer to it as Bournvita still as people are more familiar with that brand). As expected, the Bournvita fever lasted for few days and one day he said "I realise this has too much sugar and calories. I would rather have plain milk." While a part of me was happy for his health consciousness, the other part went in the thinking mode. Now what to do with a packet and half of Bournvita left with me? I am not fond of it in my milk either. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The baker in me then put on her thinking cap and came to the leftover Bournvita's rescue and prepared a cake!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ironically, Mr. Hubby called the next afternoon from office, telling me that the cake was a hit with his friends and you had to see his face in the evening when I told him about the Bournvita secret! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, presenting my version of easy, eggless and healthy Bournvita cake!</span></div>

</span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are days when you want to eat something good and healthy, sitting in the comfort of your house, but feeling too lazy too prepare something elaborate. Then, what to do? Of course, you may say order food or prepare something ready to eat. But, as my awareness about food quality is increasing, I am increasingly getting skeptical about eating outside, unless it is a trusted outlet. So, I still prefer to cook rather than eating out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Who doesn't like Mathris during tea time? Crispy and salty mathris make up for a refreshing snack on the go. I remember as a kid, whenever we had a trip coming up, mom would prepare yummy mathris to be munched throughout the long train journey. Mathris are a favorite item in the wedding return gift sweet boxes (we call them <i>Bhaaji</i> in North). When I got married, we had a good quantity of mathris left from the Bhaaji. Every evening, after returning from office, the Mathris would give me and my MIL company with our evening chai. Often, we would prepare papdi chaat with the leftover mathris. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is magic in the hands of Delhi <i>Halwais </i>(special chefs for preparing sweet and savory items). Almost everyone in the North have their favorite <i>Halwai </i>shop from where they get their dose of Samosa, Kachoris and Mathris. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">After moving to Mumbai, I terribly missed the Delhi walla mathris. I did find good Mathris at some shops here however, my soaring waistline keeps me away from fried food.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Few days ago, as it was raining, my taste buds craved for Mathris. So, I decided to pamper them the healthy way and prepared these Baked Methi Mathris. Apart from being non fried, these Mathris are made with 100% wholewheat flour and yet, they taste so crispy and yum. Since Methi imparts a certain bitterness, you may keep the quantity of methi leaves less in your first attempt.</span><br />

Crispy and salty mathris make up for a refreshing snack on the go. I remember as a kid, whenever we had a trip coming up, mom would prepare yummy mathris to be munched throughout the long train journey. Mathris are a favorite item in the wedding return gift sweet boxes (we call them Bhaaji in North). When I got married, we had a good quantity of mathris left from the Bhaaji. Every evening, after returning from office, the Mathris would give me and my MIL company with our evening chai. Often, we would prepare papdi chaat with the leftover mathris. Few days ago, as it was raining, my taste buds craved for Mathris. So, I decided to pamper them the healthy way and prepared these Baked Methi Mathris. Apart from being non fried, these Mathris are made with 100% wholewheat flour and yet, they taste so crispy and yum. http://shaivikafunda.blogspot.com/2018/09/healthy-methi-mathris.html?m=1 #healthyrecipe #healthyfood #health #healthyeating #healthybaking #healthy #snacks #teatime #recipe #foodie #foodblog #foodblogger #food #snacks #delicious #tasty #tastebhihealthbhi #yummy #shaivikafunda #instagood #picoftheday #recipes #indianfood #india #indiansnacks</a></div>

Otherwise mom was prepared with her pakoda batter before the guests rang the doorbell. As I loved samosas I loved guests who came unnanounced!

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>While guests would be counted before sending my brother to the Samosa shop, mom ensured 2-3 extra samosas would be ordered just in case a guest wanted to have a second helping<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">. Being a foodie by birth, I obviously eyed those extra samosas. While everyone would be busy to escort the guests to their car, I would swiftly slip back in the house and gobble up the remaining samosas in no time. Such a brat I was that my greed was not just limited to the extra samosas...if a guest didn't choose to eat the Samosa, I rejoiced secretly as it meant another extra samosa in my tummy <span class="_5mfr _47e3" style="line-height: 0; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle;"><img alt="" class="img" height="16" role="presentation" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/fd2/1/16/1f604.png" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: -3px;" width="16" /><span class="_7oe" style="display: inline; width: 0px;">😄</span></span></span></i></span></div>

Otherwise mom was prepared with her pakoda batter before the guests rang the doorbell. As I loved samosas I loved guests who came unnanounced! Anyway, all I had to do was to smile and do a quick Namaste! Lol! While guests would be counted before sending my brother to the Samosa shop, mom ensured 2-3 extra samosas would be ordered just in case a guest wanted to have a second helping. Being a foodie by birth, I obviously eyed those extra samosas. While everyone would be busy to escort the guests to their car, I would swiftly slip back in the house and gobble up the remaining samosas in no time. Such a brat I was that my greed was not just limited to the extra samosas...if a guest didn't choose to eat the Samosa, I rejoiced secretly as it meant another extra samosa in my tummy 😄 All this may sound very cheap and silly now, but I think every foodie kid is like that 🤣 What to do, Samosas are so irresistible 😋 Pampered myself to these Samosas during teatime and remembered my childhood 😀 #samosa #snacks #foodie #foodblog #foodblogger #food #chaat #indianfood #samosas #childhoodmemories #children #childhood #downthememorylane #shaivikafunda #memories #stories #storiesuntold #foodstory #funny</a></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was introduced to Sattu by my mom in law, after I got married. My earlier job required me to be out by 6.30am. I still remember how diligently she would wake up every morning to prepare my breakfast and tiffin. Even during the famous Delhi winters, she would ensure I never left home without eating breakfast. Sattu was her favourite handy ingredient back then. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For those who don't know much about Sattu, it is an excellent ready food which has several health benefits, as it is nothing but roasted gram/chana in powdered form. Sattu drink is an excellent way to beat the heat during summers in North India. An excellent food for people suffering from Diabetes and Hypertension, Sattu is an instant energy booster as well and rich in fibre, proteins, minerals and antioxidants. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A super healthy and light option which perfectly compliments many recipes.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My MIL loves to play around a lot with Sattu. Apart from the Sattu drink in summers, she prepares excellent Sattu paranthas and Littis.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Having learnt so much from her, I experimented with Sattu and prepared these Sattu Sandwich for breakfast yesterday. To my utter gastronomic joy, they came out so well! Posted these on my Facebook foodie groups and the overwhelming response motivated me to post the recipe on my blog.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First Impressions</span></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The year 1984 is a very important special year for me, because I was born that year. Well, on the serious front, being a Delhiite I have heard many first person accounts of the 1984 riots. When merely listening to those accounts shook me, imagine what those people would have gone through. I hardly get to read anything about 1984 these days, so I was quite intrigued when i came to know about this book. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The cover bore a fiery read look, symbolising the flames that had engulfed the once peaceful city and burnt many lives, hopes, desires and friendships. All that they left behind were burnt houses, burnt lives and ugly scars that refuse to leave the hearts of those affected. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My View</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you have lived in Delhi during the 1980s, you would have your own set of memories related to the 1984 riots, irrespective of your religion. Having been born and brought up in Delhi, I have heard several accounts of the riots from my parents and in-laws. Those few hours of lawlessness left scars of a lifetime to many lives. I recall having once met a Sikh uncle at a social gathering whose one arm was amputated. When I asked my mom how he lost his arm, she made a grim face and told me in a hush tone, "He lost his arm in the 1984 riots". While uncle was happily enjoying his Patiala peg, I am sure the drink would do nothing to remove the ugly memories from his mind. When my mom in law came to know about the plot of the book, she went in past and recalled how houses were burnt in the nearby colonies. In my previous organisation, a Sikh woman told me how she and her family had to hide in the Gurudwara for days before they felt safe to venture outside. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To feel unsafe in one's own home is the worst fear come true and sadly, this happened in the city I call my home. For those who unlike me, haven't had the chance to hear the stories of survivors, The Assassinations beautifully narrates how one incident can affect the destinies of multiple generations. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The book portrays through Prem, Deepa and their families the physical, social and emotional trauma people went through in the times that followed the assassination of Mrs. Indira Gandhi. Prem, the son of a migrant Punjabi family and Deepa, the daughter of a an affluent Delhi Hindu family are head over heels in love. Even as Deepa's father, a beaurocrat has his hunch on the upcoming situation becoming tense due to Operation Bluestar, the father in him is unable to say no. While Prem and Deepa are engaged and weaving dreams of a rosy life ahead, the flames of Operation Bluestar and its aftermath reach Delhi. In the lawlessness and riots that followed, Prem was transformed overnight from a guy next door to a youth with endless turmoil going in his mind. The effect is seen on their relationship as well, however keeping the focus on the aftermath, the book does not unnecessarily drags on their relationship. While reading a book like this, one often anticipates the next, so while I had anticipated Prem and Deepa to be the focus till the end, I was shocked when they both die in a militant attack. I think it was the powerful narrative after their untimely death which brings brownie points to the story. The story suddenly shifts focus to the lives that remain, how they try to pick up the remains and move on. While Deepa's parents live a life of endless guilt having agreed for the match, Prem's family tries best to escape the tag of a militant's family. The story fast forwards two decades later, where both families are seen struggling with the after affects of the incident. They do move on physically, however the scars on their hearts refused to fade. </span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hits</span></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">One has to be very careful when touching upon such a sensitive topic as Operation Bluestar and the 1984 riots. I am impressed how the author beautifully captured the pulse of those times without any exaggeration or digression. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">The chapters are divided aptly before and after 31st October 1984, which makes it easy to understand the sequence of events.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Each character is penned thoughtfully and has an important role to play in depicting the mindset of each generation.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">The consistent pace of the book is its biggest plus point. Without any exaggeration, the book is able to keep the reader glued and one literally feels transported to 1984. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Unlike a lot of books that use such incidents to grab eyeballs without focusing much on the storyline, The Assassinations is a book that delivers what it promises. The powerful story not even once loses focus from the core issue and even as you flip the last page, your heart might say a silent prayer for those who suffered in those horrible times. For a moment, I felt as pained for the characters as I had felt while watching the 90s movie <i>Maachis</i>.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>My Rating</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">4.5/5</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A must read, for its powerful narrative.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have a very old and loving bond with sweet buns, thanks to Harvest Gold brand of North India. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well, as luck would have it, both my school and college were at different corners of the city. So, one way commuting used to take me atleast an hour. As both the places were very strict about entry timings, for a good 20 years of my life, I was always out of the house at 7 a.m. sharp, which meant often skipping breakfast. While mom would exercise her control during school days and hand me a dabba (tiiffin), college being IHM, no dabba was required. So I began to skip breakfast as well and always had the excuse of "who will carry the load" to answer my parents. But, parents being parents know how to have their way. So mom would often pack sandwiches in foil/tissue paper that I didn't have to carry till college. I could eat and discard the packing in any streetside dustbin. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then one day, when I went to buy milk with Papa, I spotted Harvest Gold sweet buns. While I asked Papa to buy me one just to try, I didn't know I would be hooked on to the taste for life! I remember until I was working in Delhi, when in hurry I would often buy a packet of sweet buns and have them for breakfast while on my way to college/work. Those days a packet of 2 buns came for just 10 bucks!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sadly, ever since I moved to Mumbai, I haven't had them. Often when in the morning rush, I miss my breakfast I sit on my desk and wonder, "Kaash Mumbai mein bhi Harvest Gold ke buns milte" (wish we got Harvest Gold buns in Mumbai).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then, few days ago when I was feeling lazy to prepare breakfast for Mr. Hubby, I again began to miss my sweet buns. Bas, fir kya thha, after a quick google search, I went through a few recipes, tweaked a bit and voila! I had my very own sweet buns smiling at me from the baking tray!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">While most recipes used 100% All Purpose flour, I used a good amount of whole wheat flour. Also, few days ago I was shocked to know that the tooti frooti I had been loving all my life is actually raw papaya cooked in sugar syrup and coated with artificial colours! So, I used raisins and trust me, they give the buns a better flavour than tutti frutti. Most recipes I saw use milk powder however, I prefer to knead my buns with milk instead as the it gives an amazing flavour and softness to them. I also use only desi ghee as fat as I am partial to the goodness of Cow Ghee!</span></div>

After you knead for 4-5 minutes the dough will start getting sticky. However, add the ghee to make things more manageable and knead well until the ghee gets absorbed in the dough making it soft and smooth.</span></div>

</a><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Ever since I baked the <a href="https://shaivikafunda.blogspot.com/2018/05/easy-eggless-banana-walnut-bread.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Banana Walnut bread</b></span></a>, Mr. Hubby and his colleagues had been demanding more of it. However, the item waiting on my wish list was Marble Cake. The situation had become so funny that each time I would request Mr. Hubby or MIL to finish off the last two leftover bananas (which had become overripe by then), they would either ask me to have them or say "Why don't you use them in a cake?" Neither could I let the bananas go bad, nor could I let go of my craving for Marble Cake.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, the way out was best of both - Banana Marble Cake!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The best part, apart from saving life of those two bananas is that the cake is made of <b>100% wholewheat flour</b> and does not require you to buy that expensive tin of Condensed Milk. You can prepare it anytime to satisfy your craving since all the ingredients are easily available all time at home. The marble effect, apart from adding to the beauty of the cake, also compliments the banana flavour.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The cake can be stored in refrigerator and enjoyed for 2-3 days however, mine didn't last more than a day!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>Only he can understand the joy of baking a bread, who has got his hands dirty in the bread dough! </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Bread making is therapeutic. From the day MIL and I baked our first bread, each bread that turns out great gives us a feel good factor which is difficult to understand, unless you get your hands dirty!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Let me make an honest confession. Till now it was always my MIL who was kneading the dough. In her words, kneading dough is an activity she loves soooo much that she can even wake up at 3am and knead a dough! Now, can there be a better thing than this for a lazy daughter in law like me? Yes, I am counting my blessings!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">However, I wanted to do everything by myself this time around. We hadn't baked the sandwich bread so far. Mr. Hubby insisted we bake our own sandwich bread, since commercially available breads have chemicals. So, I got on to the task. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Since I had to use the bread to prepare grilled sandwiches, I did keep a good share of all purpose flour, in addition to my favourite wholewheat chakki wala Punjabi Atta from Sion. The bread came out so well that I was beaming with pride!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><u>Few Tips</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">1. As soon as you are done with the yeast, wrap the packet really tight and store in refrigerator.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">2. Do not disturb the yeast bowl when kept for activation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">3. Keep the warm milk handy before you start kneading the bread. I once got the milk few minutes late and my bread did not take the wait very well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">4. If you don't find a warm place to prove the bread, your oven is your saviour. No matter how the weather is, I always keep the dough bowl for proving in the empty oven (switched off, obviously!). It gives a wonderful rise plus saves accidental disturbance to the bread, in case there is space constraint or you have children at home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">5. Cool the bread completely before you cut the slices. You will get much neat slices. If you try to cut slices while the bread is still warm, there will be a lot many crumbles. If you notice my pics, you will notice few crumbles. This is because my overenthusiastic MIL couldn't resist the aroma of the bread and enjoyed a slice before the bread could cool completely. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">6. The water used to activate the yeast should neither be too hot nor too cold else the yeast won't rise. It should just be warm enough so that your fingers can tolerate the warmth. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">7. Always use good quality yeast.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">8. Never ever leave the bread in the loaf tin for cooling else the bread will have perspiration at the base. Always cool on a wire rack. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I simply love having koftas. Whenever delicious koftas are being served, I always pamper myself by taking second or at times even third helping. At home, whenever mom would prepare lauki koftas, I could smell them from outside and dashed to the kitchen as I enjoy to have them like fritters as well!</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My love for koftas can be guessed from this incident that happened few years ago...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I had recently got married and kitchen by then, was still my MIL's den. One day, when I returned from office, the aroma of Lauki koftas being deep fried had filled up the house. However, being a new daughter in law in the house, I felt a bit awkward to ask for the koftas to be eaten as fritters. After preparing the koftas, MIL asked me to keep them on the table, as there was still time for dinner and she thought of preparing the gravy later. With the bowlful of delicious Lauki koftas, I advanced towards the table however, me being the shameless foodie, couldn't resist the temptation. Since the bowl had many koftas, I thought who would come to know if I had one or two koftas? So, I quickly gobbled up 2-3 koftas and went about my business, as usual. However, after half an hour, my tummy began to ache profusely. Unable to control, I ran to my MIL who was also troubled to see me in pain. It was but natural for her to ask what all I had that day, since I was perfectly normal when I returned from office. Well, I had to reveal then, that I gobbled up few koftas from the bowl. MIL gave a hearty laugh and told me that she had semi fried the koftas as she thought she will fry them once more before adding to the gravy! In a hurry to eat before anyone could catch me, I ate koftas that were raw from inside!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Well, now I mostly refrain from gorging on koftas the reason being, they are deep fried. Sacrifices one has to make when the waistline goes out of control!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But, few days ago I learnt from a Facebook group how to enjoy the koftas guilt free! Yes, c'est possible! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />

Ensure to squeeze out the water completely from the grated lauki, else it will be impossible to bind together the koftas. I don't throw this water coz it is very healthy. Instead, I use it while preparing the gravy for the koftas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">2. Add the sattu powder as it will help bind the batter. I avoid cornflour powder and use sattu powder extensively in cooking as it is very healthy and gives a nice flavour as well. Also add carrom seeds, coriander powder, asafoetida powder and mix very well. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Every time I go to a bakery, one thing that attracts me is Banana Walnut Bread and I always give in to the craving. A good book, a mug of coffee and a slice of Banana Walnut bread is all you need on a lazy evening. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks to motherhood, I am confined to the house these days. Few days ago, as the children went off to sleep late afternoon, I craved for that book-coffee-banana walnut bread moment. And so, the hunt began for the easy eggless recipe. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I baked this bread late at night, I got to enjoy it only the next morning. I then realised that it makes for an excellent breakfast on the go. Unlike the <a href="https://www.tarladalal.com/Banana-and-Walnut-Bread-Eggless-Banana-and-Walnut-Bread-40812r" target="_blank">original recipe</a>, I used 100% wholewheat flour and was very impressed by the outcome. Also, I suggest vanilla essence if you don't like the aroma of ripe eggs (Mr. Hubby doesn't!)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The bread lasts 2-3 days if stored in an airtight container, but I can assure you it turns out to be so yum that it will get finished in a day!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After my last attempt with <a href="https://shaivikafunda.blogspot.in/2018/05/easy-eggless-mango-cake.html" target="_blank">Eggless Mango Cake</a> received much appreciation, I was motivated to experiment again with Mango. However, I wanted to try something different this time, preferably without condensed milk. So when I discovered <a href="http://www.smithakalluraya.com/eggless-mango-cake-recipe-eggless-mango-loaf-bread/" target="_blank">this</a> recipe, I was super excited to try it out! Made few variations and to my utter delight, it came out awesome!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Few days ago, my MIL was remembering her days in Kullu. My FIL was posted there for a few years and lived in a cute little house on the banks of Beas river. She was telling me about the warmth of the neighbours and how they used to exchange dishes they prepared everyday. Since I am a big foodie, any mention of food gets my antennae active. So, I requested her to prepare one of the special dishes she had there. MIL went inside the kitchen and while I made the little one eat and sleep, she came up with the one of most delicious versions of the Khichdi I ever had! I was so hooked on to the Khichdi that I requested her to prepare one more time so that I can post the recipe on my blog. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sharing the recipe of Pahadi style Urad Dal Khichdi. This is an easier version by my MIL as she knows I am a lazy chef and a complicated recipe will scare me out!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Khichdi Rice (we used Basmati tukda that we generally use for baby food) - 1 Cup soaked for an hour</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Urad Dal with skin - 1/2 Cup, soaked for an hour</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Desi Ghee - 2 tbsp</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Curry leaves - 4-5</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Black peppercorns - 3-4 no.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cloves - 2-3 no.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bayleaf - 1 no.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Asafoetida - 1 tsp</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Green Chillies - 2-3 no. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ginger - a small piece</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Garlic - 4-5 pods</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Onion - 1 small</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Salt - to taste</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Water - 2 Cups</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Method</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Grind together the onion, ginger, garlic, curry leaves and green chillies. The mixture should be chopped, not blended. I used my electric chopper. Remember, we do not want a paste.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Heat 2 tbsp ghee in a pressure handi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Add the bayleaf, asafoetida, cumin seeds, black peppercorns and cloves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This flower bread happened by chance! I was desperate to bake my own bread. However, I had not yet purchased a loaf tin, nor did I have a big baking tray (haven't yet found a round one for my microwave). But, when there is a will there is a way. So, we baked it in our flower shaped aluminium cake tin!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcCTgqGewC1zKamRgpZsG6kvBVNHRZ-n0ZySZQI9yRJV3mhvpJS5J-jKuyxy5WYJb60AgVHJCp5PPQn_arMoigXG4T-OteU4kKav6BzuzoMme4_e_VRyvMMM9-kOCaA0XXOymUu6pYbHYw/s1600/bread.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1440" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcCTgqGewC1zKamRgpZsG6kvBVNHRZ-n0ZySZQI9yRJV3mhvpJS5J-jKuyxy5WYJb60AgVHJCp5PPQn_arMoigXG4T-OteU4kKav6BzuzoMme4_e_VRyvMMM9-kOCaA0XXOymUu6pYbHYw/s400/bread.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With this bread, I resumed baking after 14 years. Read more about it <a href="https://shaivikafunda.blogspot.in/2018/05/my-second-innings-in-baking.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This bread is ideal for tea time. Blame it on our excitement, we enjoyed it with a generous layer of butter and it vanished from the table in few minutes! Despite all the hard work, all I got of the bread was one petal. But that also proves the bread was indeed yum.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, without anymore bak bak, let me get onto the recipe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Ingredients (Made a six petal flower bread)</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All purpose flour/Maida - 1 Cup </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Instant Dry Yeast - 1 tsp</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sugar - 1 tsp</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Salt - 3/4 tsp</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lukewarm milk - 1/2 Cup</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lukewarm water - 1/2 Cup</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Clarified butter/Desi Ghee - 1 tbsp + 1/2 tbsp for brushing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Milk - 2 tbsp, for milkwash</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Method</u></b> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. In a bowl, take sugar, yeast and add lukewarm water. Cover and rest for 10 minutes for the yeast to activate. Do not move or uncover the bowl while resting. Also, the water should be lukewarm. Too hot or cold water won't activate the yeast and the bread won't rise.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After 10 minutes, the yeast rose and looked like this. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. In a separate vessel (since I don't have a big working board, my humble <i>Paraat</i> which I used to knead the chapati dough came handy) take the maida.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Add the salt and mix well.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Knead a soft dough using lukewarm milk. Preparing the dough is an important step and thankfully, my MIL volunteers for the job and completes it to perfection. She knead the dough for a good 7-8 minutes. The dough started sticking but she continued to knead and we eventually got a soft dough.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Add 1 tbsp desi ghee and knead the dough well so that the ghee gets absorbed. This gives a very soft texture to the bread. In fact, we do this even with our chapati dough. Make the dough into a ball. </span></div>
