Story of my Pasta Indiano Ishtyle !!!

It's half past 2 in the afternoon. Sitting on my sofa, and looking out through the window the foggy and chilled climate. Thoughts running in my mind: So foggy today, cant go out for a walk!. While these thoughts are  running behind my mind , am carelessly watching the vehicles passing on the roadside, my adjacent building apartments and the loud noised fire engines. Fire engines and ambulance are so frequent on the roads here. And the loud noise of it would nearly crack ur head sitting with an open window.

Oh, I forgot, its time to have lunch.But wait, I dint prepare any lunch today morning. Oh gosh....its already 2.00, now what's the quickest meal I can have? Searching my neatly packed cupboards, I found MACRONI packets.With a big sigh in my mind, I took out those carefully untouching my other boxes.

Now the next couple of things running in my mind.... well i have cooked Macroni Pasthas long back, but cant memorise it well. Just to brush my memory, I thot of enquiring with my all time favourite "Google Uncle". Google says" Speak Now",I said: "Macroni Indian style" and said "OK Google". In a giffy of time, Google collected the info required from all the database available and presented before my eyelashes. I found a list of options to choose from. Now thats my Google Uncle, always a helping hand!

Got these and + more options:

Now I can hear a knock knock on my door, wait a minute, lemme see who it is! Okay those are my flat mates, they are calling me for the usual round of beach walk." Come in 10 minutes " Be quick. Well I said, okay, meet u guys in the down floor. So taking a break for a while.

After catching up with them, here I am to complete my post. After reading a few of the recepies, i tried making "Indian style Macroni pasta"....Just like you see in pictures, I too got my yummilicious Macroni ready.See below:

Recipe

• Boil Macroni in boiling water, with a drip of oil and a pinch of salt.
• After boiling keep it aside
• Take a frying pan and dribble a little oil
• Put chopped onion, carrots, green chillies (all together a handful of these chopped items)
• While the onion turns a little brown, put chilly powder, turmeric powder, salt and stir well till it gets half cooked
• Then add the boiled Macroni's along with it and mix it well and again heat in low flame
• Now the Yummy Macroni Pastha is ready toserve.....

Yummy Pastha from frying pan to my plate :)

Hope you liked my Pastha Story, Do comment if u like it :) Have a wonderful day.

What is my Priority?

All of my readers must have had to think about the above question in mind at some point of your life! What is my current priority? Just think about it.

So a million things would be running your mind reading this question.
- What is Priority? Priority is an important factor rated in a descending order for your tasks, daily routine, current life path and more..

Priority and Time are very much inter-related. There is a saying, ask about the value of time to a student whose finishing his exam time and to a runner competing a marathon for that last one second in finishing that crossing line. A time elapsed cannot be taken back to complete your task. Similarly Priorities cant be redone once the the alotted time is elapsed.

Priority starts counting as early as our childhood days. Soon after we come from school, whats the first thing you do? Do you watch TV, finish ur home work, or play with siblings/friends? The order wud be : Play with sibblings 2.Watch Tv 3.(and if time remains) Finish ur home work (A big grin). It is needless to assign priorities for kids, they know what they want to do and what they like to do.

Moving from Childhood to Teenage days. Priorities which once where in Ascending order becomes Descending. Now ur Priority is mixed with pressure. Pressure from your family, relatives, teachers and ur bullshit neighbours! Yes I mean it, Once you start growing up, people evaluate u more with ur studies, mark lists and rank lists. So u r under a constant pressure and competency to prove the world that "I am eligible to be like someone else"!! It reminds me of the joke in a social media site wall. Our Education system is like the Ad below :D

And so is the Priority you have when u r in a friend circle. What they say and ur reputation matters in a close knit circle. Because they are ur kith and kin at one point of time. But when you move on and build ur own family, it is of less importance to u what ur circle says. I hope you can relate any of these to ur life events. And more when you move towards the coming years, ur family, job, money and material things becomes ur priority.

Hence the Priorities that we see from our childhood changes its color, shape and rigidity according to ur role and responsibilities from time to time. Hope you like my Priority Article :) And do comment if u like. :)

Chicago - the Wind City

There is always a blockage to start writing, you know.. thinking of what to scribble down.
Today may be am writing a mix up of posts ranging from cooking, to new place, peoples, DOGS and expressions in Chicago!! You must be wondering what kind of a post is this :D Sounds quirky, but let me start off.

This is my first post landing in Chicago. Chicago is a city in the state of Illinois. It falls by the side of Lake Michigan. The time I landed here is summer. Though not the summer we have seen in India. Chicago is called the Wind City. And it also one of the 3rd most popular cities in United States.
I have been a person whose has always stayed glued to Kerala. So this was a welcome change for me.The ciyt, life and lifestyles are all very different. While walking through the streets with my hus and his friend the first few days were like walking on a dreamland. The Amazing liveness and colors and skyscraper building just amused me! And forget not to mention about the people and dressing. All shorts and ultra shorts walking freely across the streets with their boyfriends hand in hand. Seeing this, it quickly reminded me of the Indian streets and people.No matter what u wear, even a burqa, people wud come near you especially towards females, just to rub your shoulder!!! Alas now what a difference of people i see here. One thing worth mentioning is the respect of people towards each other. There is less racism towards other country nationalities. Even when you walk to the stores, Americans generally greet you, they say - hai hello-how are u n stuff. But if we see an Indian they wont even bother to say a Hai.

Now coming to the "Wind City". As the name suggests, Chicago is on the lakeside with a great view of vast ocean like Lake Michigan. City is often cold with high winds. Wind means it will literally blow ur hair up and the coldness of the wind makes u fold ur hands quickly as possible to rub some heat. So the first day of going out, I wore my new Woodlands winter Jacket, bought exclusively from Woodlands showroom in cochin. :D ( Well just for my readers info ;) ). Wearing and walking with pride through the streets, i found in no time that, I was a little out of place. Yes, people around me were walking so casually in ultra's and mini's and even simple summer clothes. They are so used to the wind climate here and also they prefer wearing summer clothes. Coz other than the 2 months of summer, city is mostly snowy. So their only chance to roam around in free style is Summer.

 

Now the DOG thing: :D .Am a pet lover, I love dogs, pets, rabbits and birds. But have not owned or looked after one since long. The city truly amazed me with the number and variety of dogs. I dont even know what the names of these much dogs that i find on the roadways. Well am not mentioning about street dogs. They are all Owned pets. And most of all, ts so funny to watch these pets. Yes I really really mean it guys. Next to my apartment is a Dog park. People come with their pets in the evening to play and mingle with other pets. Once these pets meet each other, suddenly there is an inbound love and friendship that circulates them. They start kissing and licking each other. So funny isn't it. And more funnier is that, they keep sniffing the ground always. And finds out if any other pet has pottied there, if so they will also potty on the same spot. :D :D :D . I just cant keep smiling while i write this. Poor pet owners, they always carry a plastic bag to pick up these potty things. (Well thats the only thing which pulls me away from buying a pet dog... Ohh i just cant imagine picking it up from roadsides :| )!!!
So i guess, this much would be enough for this post.I will jot sown my cooking things on my upcoming blog. Hope u liked and Do comment okay!!
