Iss Hawa mein kya Jadoo hain??

People who have been reading all my posts might be probably expecting another feminine stuff , and oh yea I drop another one here for you....this is all about my office love Hemanth.Unlike my childhood crushes..this remained as a saga in my life.
   

      After 4 years of my bachelors I joined as a software engineer in Opentext.We have two buildings,where Hemanth and I were working in different ones.We never used to go to the other building as we have all the amenities well furnished in both of them, so never actually got the need to go to the other.After 4 months of my joining he was shifted to a team which was apparently functioning from the building in which I was working.Then one fine morning comes a magical breeze out of nowhere and pulls me into the cafe with one of my friends.It was that morning that I saw a 6'0" handsome guy with a blue jeans,bright-white shirt and a black jerkin over it.

            Its basically after long time I felt someone so handsome that I couldnt stop asking my friend(also his team member) about him.Hemanth....awwwwwww the name might not have vibrations but surely has given me a mild jerk.I couldnt stop staring at him because it was the kind of cute charm he carries in his face.And what happened next???We both started to have long chats and can you expect how and on what?
Hahah I came to know from my friends he was a tech savvy and I felt this was one of the best ways to talk to him about and later on get closer to him.I started intoducing myself and asking suggestions about buying an SLR and yooooo his words amused me even more and dragged me towards him.Later on we got closer and started chatting once in a while and we used to often meet during potlucks.
 
                 We both sit in different phases in our office where I need to pass his desk, while going to mine.Everytime I had to pass, his charming face used to draw my attention.My friend sits exactly opposite to him and this was another mauka for me to see him at times.And all those naatak was barely to see him to listen to his voice and find a way if possible to talk to him and one fine night I got a call from him , and oh my god why am I feeling so nervous to lift it? Yes beacause I love him..a lot a lot and a lot...but such a helpless condition it was that, I had forgotten all the words I planned , for putting forward my feelings.It was finally a casual talk but a pleasant one..which filled all the my dreams that night.

                      All of a sudden here comes the most shocking and heart-breaking news for me about him,that he was already committed to another girl..I was completely broken into tears and was helpless about what I have heard but had to accept the truth.I thought I should stop talking to him but wait..why should I do that..infact I was asking myself  "How can I do that?".On the contrary,I decided to leave the company for pursuing my higher studies so I thought it was the only time I can be in contact with him, so I never confessed my feeling and I finally friend-zoned him.And it remained as another sweet memory to relish about..

Cooking kalakaar

Now this might be the kind of topic every woman loves and is interested in.Then why delay go ahead...and enjoy all the dishes and tips..
I decided to take up cooking the other weekend and it ended up with some sweet relishes and spicy savouries.I first decided to prepare a chocolate truffle cake but later on thought it would be tiresome process and decided to prepare some mouthwatering Indian delicacies.My family is of four,so I prepared accordingly.
This was the list I had in my mind:
Starters:
Baby corn manchurian
Main course:
Butter Naan
Malai Kadai Paneer
Shahi Mushroom curry
Beverages:
Aam ka Panna(BE SURE YOU HAVE THE ICECUBES)

 I first started to prepare the naan dough as it takes a little while for the dough to get ready.For this you just need to put 20 gms of yeast along with a pinch of sugar in little amount of water that usually you take for kneading the dough.Do this first because meanwhile you can finish of with other dishes.Leave it for 5 min and now starting frying the diced paneer for malai kadai paneer.Since I was preparing two curries and that too for just 4 persons ,I have just taken 200gms of paneer packet and that served really good.
     Before I add the recipe I would like to suggest some of the tips:
1.After frying the paneer dont forget to put them in cold water or else they become hard like rocks.
2.And use lot of tissues for straining oil from the paneer as they absorb real amount.
I suggest wahrewah.com recipe as I felt it tastier and better when compared to tarla dalal and sanjeev kapoor
Here is the link for malai kadai paneer :

You can infact get many but I felt this is the best ones.

Now for the curry to get done it approximately takes 15-20 min.While the curry's gravy is getting ready,take the yeast water and add that to the 500 gms of maida we have taken and prepare the dough.Add a little amount of butter(=~25gms) ,salt and a little curd to it and a dash of sugar if needed .Wrap it with cold cloth and leave it for a while.

Meanwhile put the fried paneer dices in the gravy and stir a little bit before covering with a lid.Now again knead the dough and wrap it again and put it aside.

                   Now taste the curry and make any finishing touches if required.Remember the paneer pieces absorb a lot of water so let the gravy be a little more watery as it will set by the time everyone's ready on the dinner table.

And for Shahi Mushroom curry you need to peel off the outer skin of the button mushrooms if not fresh or else unpeeled too go well.Now boil the mushrooms for 5 mins in the microwave bowl by adding a little water and then leave until it comes to room temperature.

Follow the link.I have done it from here and it turned out to be very delicious.

And while my mom was preparing naans for it I have decided to take up aam ka panna.Now let me tell you in detail how to make these both  as we dint follow any recipes.

Butter Naan Preparation:
After the dough preparation take enough quantity of dough in your hand and take a plastic sheet..put the dough on it and start pressing it flat against the paper make it fat enough unlike paratha/roti/phulka as it tastes better since with maida.Meanwhile switch on the pressure cooker,to let the sides warmed up for frying the naans, as I know most of the south Indians dont have tawas @home.Now put a little water on one side of the prepared flat dough ,and put the face containing the water on the cooker sides.(you can put 3-4 at a time.Put the cooker lid upside down until the sides turn fried with brown spots on'em.Remove it carefully if you have microwave gloves or else with the help of  tongs.Tadaaaaaaan...the butter naans are ready.Serve hot with butter on the top.

Aam ka Panna:
As it is summer season I thought I could prepare this out of fresh green mangoes.
Ingredients:(Serves 4)
Green mangoes-2
Sugar-2 large cups(you can add more if you want)
Cumin powder--1 tbsp
Black peppercorns-7 crushed
Black salt-a pinch
Asafoetida-a pinch

Take a vessel and put some water that's enough to boil the two mangoes.Now after you feel them soft strain the water,peel them and smash them.After you are done with it strain the pulp to avoid any fibres in between.
Now mix all the remaining ingredients well and put it in a blender along with some ice.Whip it lightly and serve chilled with some slice of lemon and mint leaves.

Proposal Day

Does anyone know how embarrassing it will be on the day we get proposals?It was spring..season that I love the most 'cause of the cool breeze and I was at my best friend's house along with our gang making her up for her first proposal .It was fun at first for all of us as it is the first time being present at a friend's proposals with all the make up pallettes and brushes, hair decoratives,accessories,fresh flowers and all the ornaments around me.Aweeeeeeee...it was so colourful.

                      And while we were done with doing the facial makeover and moving over to hairstyling,there comes lavishly a Black Jaguar heading up its paws on the bonet.(i meant about the jaqaur car)heheheh..
We were about to set the flowers and put around a little spray for her hair while her mom knocks the door and asks us to hurry.We all were eager to see the guy but unfortunately the guy dint come..nah nah now dont stop reading...just scroll down to see the climax.

                  No sooner did we get her draped in the saree than  her mother came along with her sister to take her to the hall.She was all trembling as it is the first time for her, something which she had never expected in life to come across, as we all had fantasies of love marriage.

                     And whaaaaat?All of a sudden the guy comes now in a brand new....oohhhh it's just an i10....but yeah a brand new one I must say :P.Even more than my friend were we, all shocked to see his demeanour  and the charm he carried in his face,it just created a spark in all our eyes.We felt she was the most luckiest gal to find him.It's generally she who needs to serve him some snacks but we all fought for the plate to serve him and aaaaahaan I was the one who served him.He was almost near to what we call a prince.After 2 weeks she came to our house and OH WOW!!!!!! A wedding invitation.And they lived happily ever after..Oh you expected more but fortunately its a factual story so could'nt extend by framing up things..
