Inspiration

Today evening was a wonderful one, an evening of the Grammy Awards. So glued to TV, I was watching the presentation of the lead singers and performers from U2, Alicia Keys, Destiny Child to Usher, Norah Jones, Kanye West, J Lo, John Mayer etc etc. They all had a wonderful music to present and some of the songs had amazing words to them. Inspired by them I today ended up in writing a small poem (This may be an effect of Valentine day ;) also). So here it goes:

Occupied by the threads of thought on the way,
About the moments past, was the day today,
Making me think now, how much I miss
Living next street, the beautiful face of a miss.

Transmitted by the neurons of mind all along,
Her red lips blush still there along,
Making me smile, I think of her, whenever,
I know, for me, she'll be an angel forever.

Painted by the colours of rainbow, I'm dreaming,
Of her and me, going on ride, screaming,
I'm in heaven, I know for sure,
Pearl is like her, white and pure.

Blown are the melancholy winds strong,
When I realize, she's not along,
Making me think only one thing,
I wish she were in real.

The French Connection

After a successful implementation of the Aloo Pranthas, Gobi Paranthas and the gajar ka halwaa, it was time to do something different. So decided to make some pakoras for the evening snacks. But for last three meals, I had pure desi stuff and was quite bored of eating it again. Though its a different thing that every time I eat the desi khaana, I stop eating when I have a feeling that if I eat a single bite more my stomach will burst and there will be 'Big Bang'. So after dinner at the desi Street near my residence, I was so full that I decided to skip dinner. Last wekeend I went to the dinner at the residence of my Boss. From there I got the book of the cocktails. So decided to try some coctails today. Just to pursue this, I went to the liquor shop and got Chambord Liqueur (which is raspberry alcoholic beverage). The plan was to make the French Martini.

French Martini, a vodka based drink, is a cocktail which is a bit sweeter in taste and is usually taken after dinner. The ingredients of the drink are Pineapple juice, vodka and the Chambord Liqueur, in the ratio of 4:2:1 resp., and shaked well over ice. But the ratio can be different based on whether a strong drink is needed or light.

In the end, the drink came out nice and just if we had martini glass then it would have enhanced the delight amongst us.

Har Pal

Har pal mehsoos karta hoon woh sheetal hawaa,
Pagal hoon main jo samajh baitha unki halki si ek hansi.

Har pal mehsoos karta hoon apne dil ki dhak-dhak,
Nadaan hoon main jo samajh baitha unke kadamo ki aahat.
