Everything Happens for a Reason

And what is that reason God only knows. Off late I started believing or rather struggling to believe that things do happen for a reason and hopefully that reason is always for good. This is applicable at many junctures of our life. Often we experience that  in different phases of our life many people would touch base with us and of that some become your close friends. It really feels so good to have close friends and sharing each and everything. But the game doesn't end here. Life gives you so many surprises some times good and many times bad. Having close friends is such a wonderful feeling at the same time losing them? 

Drifting apart from the loved ones makes you feel lost. I don't know why but this bitter fact has made its way many times in my life. I can proudly acknowledge that the most amazing people have made their footprints in my small world. Some friends make it till the end of your life and some only for a period of time. At times those who appear for short period of time seems to be like an angel to me just to make you lighter in your difficult times. And when you are up again to face the challenge they might disappear and make space for the new one to arrive. But saying goodbye to a person who played an important role in your life is not easy. Its so sad to lose someone with whom you have shared the deepest secrets, laughed till your stomach starts aching, fought over silly things, talking crazy stuffs. For me losing friends was either due to them having new responsibilities, change of place and ultimately losing contacts, change of priorities, or perhaps some unavoidable situations. Since school days, college and until now this process in still on. Any ways partially it was a natural process and sometimes it was fate. But Life goes on and sometimes letting go makes life easier and gives peace. In my opinion letting go doesn't finish everything, in fact those bonding memories are so precious which are to be cherished for lifetime. As 'We part to Meet and Meet to part' isn't it?

To all those amazing people out there who made my life beautiful. I owe special Thanks.. to make me smile, to make me laugh, to bring out the best in me, to make me love myself, to make me self confident, to tackle my worse, to make me cry and bring out the sadness in me, of all to make me Strong like never before. Thanks for being there. I wish our paths might cross again. Now I am sure things do happen for a reason, it was because of this unknown reason I met many angels and will also meet many more in the future :)

Food is Awesome

Its been long time since I wrote. My mind always keeps flowing through as to write about many stuffs but its always some priorities that pops in. So does that sound as if am too busy? No not at all its just that I keep on postponing my activities. Whatever it is but there is something that I can never give up, in fact many of us won't, because we are Food Lovers. Someone truly said 'There is no love sincerer than the love of food'.  Exactly. So Yes I am a true Foodie.
Being a South Indian and growing up in a typical TamBrahm culture, food is so simple yet so delightful. The moment I say South Indian food, what hits our mind is filter Coffee sorry Kaapi, Idli and Dosa. Mouth watering no?

Nothing can make you so charged up than a cup of steaming Filter Coffee in the morning as it turns out to be a Fuel-booster. My mom is famous in making the most aromatic magical filter coffee. Sipping this gives me a blissful satisfaction. :)

A Lot can happen Over a Filter Kaaapi :) 

When comes to breakfast, we have N number of varieties. Crispy Yummy Dosa with fresh coconut chutney and sambhar cannot beat anything in the world :) My all time favorites and never ever be bored of this. I thank a ton to whomever have invented this combo. I remember having one such best dosa in our native with homemade ghee. wow it tasted amazing. Idli Dosas are our saviors. ;)

Thanks to my Mom who makes the best Idli and Idli podi ever. I wish I can learn atleast 10% of her culinary skills. ;) The breakfast list just does not end here. Endless varieties of Dosa, uthappa , pongal(somwhat like north indian khichdi), KuliPaniyaram(fried idlis), Appam, Idiyapam(rice noodles) and the list goes on...So can anyone ever think to skip such tempting breakfast?

What?? You are full? No ways abhi toh main course baaki hai  (Subtitles:P The actual meal starts now ) You are not supposed to give up that easily :P
One more important savior for us is Rice. South Indians have a vast amount of delicious rice delicacies. Yet there is nothing much more heavenly than a simple curd rice with mango pickle. Once again pure Bliss! 
Main course has a countless number of dishes being served in traditional banana leaf. Someone needs to very careful for not being missed out any of these. This kind of special meal can be relished specially on weddings. Few to mention are Payasam(kheer), Wadai(Daal wada), Sambhar, Rasam Potato Fry, Aviyal.. Burp..
