Life Of Pi - The MOVIE

Today being a Friday, me and Nishok planned a perfect movie date. It turned out to be the best date movie. The movie was about a boy and his extraordinary journey. I was actually late home. The movie was by 9.30 PM and I reached home by 9.15 PM from work. Soon me and Nishok rode to the cinema. On the way to the theatre, I muched out the 3 lovely chappatis rolled in with onion chutney. Nishok is a lovely person who never keeps me hungry or want of anything. Hedoes more than what I need. One such desire of mine was to watch Life of Pi. The movie was a 3D one at FAME. The effects were extraordinary. From the beginning till the end the movie kept me stick to it. I was very thrilled to hear people speaking Tamil here and there. After the ship wreck, the story is taken to a different level. The absolute entertainment piece of the film is when the tiger makes it to the boat and it re entry in the boat. The whole audience was thrown to the back of their seats to see tiger jump on the hyena. The orangkuttan was really sweet. The scenes where Pi changes his name to 'pissin' to 'Pi' really showed the attitude of the boy. He thanked the tiger for saving his life. One may wonder when he tells that. He then said that he was made vigil only by the tiger hence he was alive for a long time. At the end he says another disgusting story to the people from that japanese ship company when yhey didnt believe his actual story. Then the listener says that the story with tiger was better when compared to the second one. Pi replied that even God thought that way. Those lines were touching. Totally an awesome movie. It is a must watch. If u r with a tiger for sometime u can hide from it or fear about it. When is living together with a tiger, you needvyo tame it. God has given that talent to you. Life of Pi is absolutely an adventure with beautiful yet dreadful incidents filled with much needed lessons!

Vijayadasmi Day

This is such a auspisious day in this festive season. Saraswathi pooja and Vijayadasmi are my favourite festivals and very close to my heart. These two days fill my heart and mind with bursting new positive energy.

My grandfather always insisted us to do all the things you want to excel in this day. Till marriage, my grandfather and my dad made me and my brother to sit with our favourite books all day. They also encourage us to do our favourite art form. They have taught us that to excel in different areas of our interest , start it on vijayadasmi. So I make it a point to start / practise the arts or studies on this day.

This practise has made me gain more interest on my passions.  I read and do things I want to excel in this day.

Thank you thatha and appa for inculcating this beautiful habit in me.

Happy Vijayadasmi. Stick to your passions and strive for excellence in the same.

Wishes =)

Krish's Perfect French Fries

       
  Guys in our family love cooking. My dad is the best chef I have ever seen. Seems his genes are perfectly working in my brother .The other day, Krish notified that he is going to make some French Fries. He also assured that it would be a perfect French Fries.

             By that evening, I helped him peel off and cut the potatoes. The potatoes were marinated for few minutes. (Professional terms). Then he made a powder of salt and peppers. He fried all the potatoes, Squeezed out the oil out of them gently and cooked it again in Microwave. French Fries turned out to be perfect.

We enjoyed Krish's Perfect French Fries and he being in Kitchen! =)

Happy Valentine's Day

         Today is a special day for most of us. From my teenage, I used to have thoughts, dreams and fascination on love. I wanted gifts from a man who loves me and lives for me on this day. I am a kind of girl who doesn't believe in group of guys following a girl is envious. I won't agree that the girl is lucky.

         I wanted a guy who would be compatible with me and my thoughts all through my life. I wanted that one man to be my crush, love, husband, soul mate, patner in crime and my everything. I wanted him to hug and blow a kiss on Valentine's day and gift something (not a costly one)with  so much love. Wow! I dreamt of it. I  begged God to give me a partner who is kind, loving and caring.

         My Prayers are answered. This man called me in the morning and Wished me "Darling Happy Valentines Day" and asked me to check my mail box. I saw a greeting with beautiful lines for me.

" By miles, you are far away from me.

  By Thoughts, you are close to me.

   By hearts, you are in me"

Whatte a beautiful greeting ! I was moved. I feel blessed and gifted. This is a very spl Valentine's Day for me! =)

Nanban : A Filmy Review





This Friday, my mom and dad celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary. We planned for a movie night. My brother wanted to take us to Nanban. It was a very close to heart moment when all your loved ones are spending time for some super fun together.

We went to the theatres 10 minutes after the movie started. We were bit disappointed. But the movie was really entertaining. I loved this version of the 3 idiots. Vijay was an opt choice. After a long time, Srikanth has been given a very good character.

Few scenes were very entertaining, like Srivatsan's speech, Vijays attempt to motivate Jiiva's recovery, etc.

Vijay's names in this movie we re unique. Panchavan Paarivandan and Kosakzi Pasapuzhal !! I loved Jiiva's spontaneous answer for "How does an induction motor starts"

Illeana and Anu has done a cute job. Vijay was charming. I am not a big fan of Vijay but I liked his performance in this movie. Satya raj was similar to our Dean in my college.

My dad and mom enjoyed their wedding anniversary being with us and spent our evening with this movie date.

Nanban is worth seeing and better than Hindi version. Music and cinematography were good. Madhan Karky has done a fantabulous job...


En nanban pola yaaaru machaan!

Priyaa's Faluda Cake - Step by Step Recipe

This is my second attempt on cakes after the chocolate cake with plain whipped cream icing. In this new year, I tried making multiple flavour cake. I grabbed the recipe from allrecipes.com.au. The Cake I did, had three flavours like vanilla, pine apple and mashed bananas. The icing had lemon and chocolate powder in it.

I did this with my whole family. My dad and mom were helping me in getting ingredients. They really enjoyed me doing things with creativity.

I am very happy about the output. But the cake is yet to be tasted. Only reason being, I did the cake late in the evening which would make us feel heavy. The flavour of lemon and aroma was awesome.

Step by Step Pictorial Tutorial for this cake making is as follows..

Mash two medium sized bananas

Mix the mashed banana with the cake powder mix

Add 2 tbsp of oil, 2 tbsp vannila essesence, 2 tbsp of pine apple essesence

Add milk and stir well till u get the following consistency of the flour

Apply oil and sprinkle maida flour and pour the batter into the vessel to make the cake.

Add Butterscotch,cashewnuts and Dried grapes

Place the vessel in electri cooker with 1 inch water. Keep the batter on power for nearly 40 minutes.

Meanwhile steps for preparing icing:

Mix Icing Sugar and 2 lemon's juice + 1 spoon of complan to form a icing of following consistency

The aroma is really awesome. The consistency is important.

After 35 minutes, the cake is made and placed on the cake dish. Leave it for 10 minutes so that the cake is set

Cover the cake with the icing!

Cake is decorated with silver pellets , butterscotch, jelly, gems.

Lemon are placed on the cake dish to give a cool look =)

FareWell to My Friend!

Sending off Party is the party which  I hate and feel uncomfortable. Yeah, missing someone very special or very close is always a difficult moment.

These pictures are  treasure. We gave a small farewell party to Prathee, on her last day in our organisation. I ordered a special Black  Chocolate Truffles Cake for her with the wording "Always with you". To be frank, she found those wording more sentimental. I felt it so asked the baker to write it.

She gave us treat that afternoon. And she gave me a special treat. Guess what? She cooked Vegetable Rice for me (home made) She is absolutely a nice cook. We share recipies and cooking tips and health tips during our lunch sessiosn.

By evening, we gathered in Main Cafeteria of our office. Also present were Yunus, Abi and Subbu. The get to gether was fun packed.

We took photos, cut cake. Ate cake! Prathee I thank you for being with me and inspiring me!

Remember Prathee, I will come to your house once and have loads of food u cook! be Ready!
