100 Happy Days: Day 71 Puffed Roti

Happiness is reviewing a new product in the market

My roti never puff like a balloon, that I don’t make chappatis is another issue. In India I have the comfort of a helper who will willingly make roti for me. But nevertheless, I was happy to attend the launch of new product called ‘Jiwa Atta’. This is different from normal atta. It is more healthy and rich with nutrients

Fun afternoon was spent rolling the atta, and filling it with exotic vegetables and dips. The concept is very impressive of making the combination of dips, vegetables and salad to be rolled in the different selection of roti made from the atta that varies from range: Jawar, Bajra, slimming, diabetic, blood pressure, etc.

It’s a big choice….

100 Happy Days: Day 70 café and verse

Happiness is meeting writer friends over coffee and verse.

The idea is to meet and share our written work. We met this afternoon, just four of us to share our work: poems, fiction and some beautiful ideas on how to add colors to our poetry verse

I read my work on Kay Mukarni, which is an interesting genre of riddles played between two people, where one describes something in the way that is mistaken by the other as a reference to the first one’s beloved, but which finally turns out to be something completely different. 

My friends loved it and they have promised to write one on this genre too.

I love listening to people’s work and I like to hear the critique that follows and guides us on how the work can be improved. Although I may not have much to contribute, I come home packed with new ideas and enough inspiration to write more.

Its always a fun afternoon.

100 Happy Days: Day 69 Food Doodling

Happiness is doodling a recipe.

I have been drooling on food pictures because they look so real. I envy the professional photographers who know the exact lighting and the angle to get a picture perfect. I have an ordinary camera, so I cannot really boast on my photographs.

But yes, I do manipulate on Photoshop to get some impressive results. Presently, the latest fad is food doodling. There are many apps available on android where food bloggers are sketching recipes. I have not yet learnt that skill, but my doodling is still on Photoshop.

I clicked a real picture of the tomato omelet I made for dinner, later, I gave a doodle effect on Photoshop with few brush strokes and filters.

It looks good, isn’t it? I am happy with the results!

100 Happy Days: Day 68 Home-Cooked Food

Happiness is being able to cook faster than a take-a-way service.

Its just laziness that makes us scan through the list of restaurants in our area and order a take-a-way instead of cooking at home.

Actually, whenever I have ordered Chinese meal from a restaurant it takes exactly 45 minutes to arrive, sometimes even more. Cooking at home is much faster, especially fast food like Chinese. This is the fastest and easiest cuisine. It just chop-chop, stir-fry and it’s ready.

And the brownie point is: its healthy, hygienic and economical.

I cooked stir-fry vegetables with white rice in just 15minutes.

Bliss!

100 Happy Days: Day 67 Face Time

Happiness is meeting family on Face Time.

I belong to a close-knit family who are spread all over the world and sometimes I don’t meet them for years.. I hate talking on the phone but have good time with my cousins and family when we meet personally. Thanks to cyber connection, the world has become a smaller place

We are now connected through FaceTime and Skype. Although thousand of miles apart, we connect online. I enter their house through a small window, observing the furniture in the room, see what is cooking in the kitchen, and peep out from their balcony to see the view. It’s like travelling to their home without a proper tourist visa. But it feels great to be able to chat with cousins face-to-face, see them smile, complain and joke…

During my one-hour chat with my cousin, I saw her cook dhal, rice and egg borchi, then sit and eat.

Its fun really….
