Myself and my MIL went there to explore the food. We went there and the path was muddy (choclately roads)... Anyway we reached there and were served with sample lunch started with Cucumber Juice (Yuck I said) . The organiser noticed my reaction and told me "taste it you  u like it" God It was awesome yet the cucumber smell was supppressed by the taste.

Then we were served with the following menu.

1.Potato Halwa
2. Banana stem Raitha
3. DrumStick Soup
4. Raddish Chappathi
5. Curry leaves Rice
6. Brinjal rajma Korma

Eat :Italian Feast

"No town can live peacefully, whatever its laws, when its citizens .. do nothing but feast and drink and tire themselves out in the cares of love" - Plato

Whatever , i was fascinated to dig on some of the best Italian foods and showcase the same here in my journal. I stumbled upon the following map when i googled "food in Italy"

Polenta is the yellow color base(dough) kind of food . Polenta is a popular food dish that has long been common in Italian and other European cuisine, but has recently gained attention in the United States as well. It is made from ground cornmeal, which is then boiled in water to create a porridge-like substance. Depending on the variety, it can be ground either coarsely or finely, and may be made from either yellow or white cornmeal.
I think I can even add recipes to these food.. Mouth watering... Next is the most favourite drink of mine. "Caffe" In Italy Venice is a place for best coffee. One can find as many  kinds of coffee in Italy as there are pastas.


Italian Vocabulary List: Coffee

•caffè (espresso)—a small cup of very strong coffee, i.e., espresso
•caffè Americano—American-style coffee, but stronger; weaker than espresso and served in a large cup
•caffè corretto—coffee "corrected" with a shot of grappa, cognac, or other spirit
•caffè doppio—double espresso
•caffè freddo—iced coffee
•caffè Hag—decaffeinated coffee
•caffè latte—hot milk mixed with coffee and served in a glass for breakfast
•caffè macchiato—espresso "stained" with a drop of steamed milk: small version of a cappuccino
•caffè marocchino—espresso with a dash of hot milk and cacao powder
•caffè stretto—espresso with less water; rocket fuel!
•cappuccino—espresso infused with steamed milk and drunk in the morning, but never after lunch or dinner
•granita di caffè con panna—frozen, iced beverage (similar to a slush, but ice shavings make it authentic) and topped with whipped cream

Cannoli is a Sicilian pastry dessert. They are tube-shaped shells made of pastry dough, filled with a sweet and creamy filling usually containing ricotta cheese blended with some flavor of vanilla, chocolate, pistachio or other. Liz last trip in Italy was to Sicily.


Gelato ...I wonder what is the difference between gelato and ice cream.. I googled it again. Itz ice cream which is more creamy than usual ice cream. One main difference I found reading is : Ice cream legally has a minimum of 10 percent fat, gelato is made with a greater proportion of whole milk to cream, so it contains more like five to seven percent fat.

Anyway differences apart. I cant resist the temptation towards both.

Very common food : Pasta Pesto.. commonly available in all parts of the world these days.. Colourful tasty pasta here.

Focaccia  is a flat oven-baked Italian bread, which may be topped with herbs or other ingredients.Focaccia is related to pizza, but not considered to be the same.




I enjoyed knowing these food from Italy. Mouth watering experience.. Will be back with the above recipes too....

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ If not for you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I feel alone . He feels the same, I know. I switched on the television set . After so many days , I got the thought of a box which can divert my focus on my loneliness. It was "Love Meter hosted by Suresh" being telecasted. It was a very simple game show to understand the understanding between a couple. And I bet , If we get a chance to go for the show, myself and Nishok will definitely win it with full bonus. Again , Nish knocks my mind door..
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Here is a poem for Nishok.
If not for you, I wouldn’t know
What true love really meant.
I’d never feel this inner peace;
I couldn’t be content.
If not for you, I’d never have
The pleasures of romance.
I’d miss the bliss, the craziness,
Of love’s sweet, silly dance.
I have to feel your tender touch;
I have to hear your voice;
No other one could take your place;
You’re it; I have no choice.
If not for you, I’d be adrift;
I don’t know what I’d do;
I’d be searching for my other half,
Incomplete, if not for you.
♥♥♥♥♥

I wish today is Dec 4th .Come soon Nishok, after completing your assignment successfully.
Note : I didnt write these line (hope you guessed)

Nobody Wants To Be Lonely - VeryTrue


Here is the lyrics and video of one of my favorite songs. There you are


There you are

In a darkened room
And you’re all alone
Looking out the window
Your heart is cold and lost the will to love
Like a broken arrow

Here I stand in the shadows
Come to me, come to me
Can’t you see that

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body’s longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it’s slipping away
And I’ve been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why
Why don’t you let me love you


Can you hear my voice
Do you hear my song
It’s a serenade
So your heart can find me
And suddenly your flying down the stairs
Into my arms, baby

Before I start going crazy
Run to me, run to me
Cause I’m dying

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body’s longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it’s slipping away
And I’ve been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why
Why don’t you let me love you

I want to feel you need me
Just like the air you’re breathing
I need you here in my life
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away
No, no, no, no
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
Nobody wants to be lonely
I don’t want to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry

I don’t want to cry
My body’s longing to hold you
I’m longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it’s slipping away
And I’ve been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why
Why don’t you let me love you
Why don’t you let me love you
Why, oh why, why, why, why, why

Nobody wants to be lonely
I don’t want to cry
Nobody wants to cry
My body’s longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside

Nobody wants to be lonely
I don’t want to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
