Photos rekindle memories.

Can you guess this place?

A place you wouldn’t forget,

If you have once visited it,

Where and what is this place?

The answer is easy for some,

And difficult for many,

Hope you are from those some,

And this would recall memories many!

My “Baked Fish in Cheese Sauce” is cherished by everyone!

"In the hands of an able cook, fish can become an inexhaustible source of perpetual delight." -Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

And who is this cook in our family? Ask any family member, they would say all the ladies in the family cook any fish to perfection, in a variety of delicious ways. And sometimes I too share this honour when I prepare my much in demand and acclaimed speciality dish “Baked Fish in Cheese Sauce” (See picture). Everyone loves it.

GOD! Please direct our every move...

GOD! Please direct our every move,

That we may happily in overall wellbeing live.

We are simply at the mercy of our destiny.

Sad and frightening stories, pictures and videos from Uttarakhand flood disaster are depressing. Happy moments can turn into sorrow in a fraction of a second.

A person is not safe anywhere these days. We are simply at the mercy of our destiny. All that we can do is pray and not take risks. 

I love to live amidst trees and plants.

Here is something lovely,

That can’t be bought instantly.

A shade tree for your family!

With such a large canopy!

It is ‘Madhavi Lata Creeper’,

Shining in finest green colour,

With bunches of white flowers!

Which emanate fragrance 24-hours!

A pleasant rainy evening, calls for special snacking!

A pleasant rainy evening,

Calls for special snacking!

Indian, Continental or Chinese,

Anything would please!

The spicier and hotter,

Are always preferred.

What better than,

The Mirchi Bajji etc...South Indian!

Shame on your authority, that stinks of timidity.

Shame on your authority,

That stinks of timidity.

None of you have guts,

To face the truth and us!

Our obvious deprivation,

Leads to our desperation,

And all means of struggle,

That will go on until your downfall.

We are defeating you,

In every possible way,

Yet shameless you continue,

To survive in a miserable way.

Finally, the voice of the people!

History tells us is the voice of God!

Soon we will be victorious!

And free of you; so notorious.
