Tomatoes are one of my favorite red cherries. However whenever i see the vegetable, I feel bad as well seeing it being wasted during the Tomatina festival in Spain. Rather would use it in making Tomato Rice and feed it to a few hundred poor and needy. Chinni decided to make Tomato Rice and slurpppp!!! Was it delicious. Sure it was Yummm!!!.
Step 1: Use only Basmati Rice in the preperation of Basmati Rice. Cook Basmati Rice in a Pressure Cooker.

  Mango Diaries continues to evolve and surprise me with its sweetness and ability to charm its audience. I guess more than anything its the positive intent and inspirational real life stories that causes that bell to ring. Anyways in this edition of Mango Diaries, I seek to focus on how I managed to steer this negative mind of mind to something very positive and cheerful. It goes back to the times of Covid-1st Wave, initially the dark times accompanied by an eerie stone like silence and nothing but the shrill and occasional sound of the passing Ambulance could be heard. It was at the same time I had also lost my beloved father.

It had come to an extent where I even contemplated running away from the hospital but guess ...

When he was into his last few days, and it became increasingly difficult for us to make him have his food, my wife Hema asked him if he would like to have Mishti Doi, immediately the hundred watts bulb in the pupil of his eyes lit up and he repeated "Mishti Doi, Mishti Doi". I would want to admit a hard truth here. In the early days of his passing away, I was downcast, depressed, buckets into tears, my ...

On a daily basis I keep seeing a number of blogs online and have been impressed by a vast majority of them while a few leave that sour feeling . If you search on Google with the keywords " How To Blog" you will come across a huge number of links that will give you access to a plenty of literature on how you could blog and how you can actually make a fortune by blogging. My take on blogging is that it is a very simple art from with no rocket science behind it. It is so simple that even a novice can take to it without any training . However there are a few prerequisites for blogging. You would need a good command over the language that you are blogging in. Here I am not talking about rich vocabulary but simple sentences without any grammatical/spelling errors. No Flowery language is required, rather easy to understand and comprehend language will do. You would need lots of patience to get to the top. Blogging is not a reach the summit types with your first blog. It i...
