Chole Bature Fiasco - A Laughing Riot

Image
               My wife is a super specialist Chole Bature maker. Her art is so much recognized mutually that almost 100 % of our guest had Chole-Bature for dinner invites. If they are non-vegetarians they get to taste my dam biriyani else its a pure chole bature affair.                                                                              It was one fine afternoon when she decided to make Chole-Bature for lunch. I was excited as i usually get for anything that undergoes a deep frying ceremony. I love to hog on fried foods. So all excited i returned from office for lunch. As i grabbed on the very first Batura that came to my plate i was bit confused if it was really a batura. It almost felt like i was eating pappad with chole. My crispy tear...

GWALIOR SHILP MELA 2013

Image
                                            It was my rapacious desire to present Gwalior Shilp Mela through my lens. As am counting my fag end days  in Gwalior clicking this vibrant,colorful and photogenic fair was simply inevitable. I chose slanting sun (post afternoon hrs) to visit this historical mela. The feel of this shilp mela is great and you can find a variety of handicrafts made through generations displayed for sale and exhibition. Artist from all over the country participate in  Shilp Mela to make it one of the most sought after places in Gwalior. I personally feel it is poorly promoted by Madhya Pradesh Tourism. It deserves much better crowds and visitors. So am doing my bit to respect the art and skill of those million people who work hard all over the years to bring this spectacular show before us. The photographs are my own hard clicked snaps to give...

Fatherhood - Knock-knock knocking at the door.

Image
Me and my better half waiting for the lab test report. The medico finally returns with a smile and says " Congratulations ".  That one word sends me to catch 22 situation. Within seconds the patch files of fatherhood  is automatically updated in me to suit the situation. We were going gaga...                       At the outset of being a father !  Aah ! What a feeling ? How will i ever be able to express the virgin feeling of what it feels like to be knowing that you are going to be a father in few months time. Its eternal. I never imagined the vicarious joy of people becoming father until the very knock came at my door. You cannot ever associate and relate to this feeling until you become one. You need time to take such big shot news where you and your wife are the lead protagonist. A biological credential to your union. A child in the making that would bear resemblance of both of you. Its eupho...

Why only Dil se ? When it is dearer than life !

  Your  ' Dil Se' relationship needs a touch of intellect to sustain realities against fantasies….                                                                                                                   Altercations are a part of every relationship. No strong our weak relationship can propel on the sea of time without those frequent fights and blues. It’s nothing to worry about if you know how to handle them or better said use them. We use people, time, money and what not? Why not to use those meaningful fights?  An open threat to any worth relationship. Those arguments that stands strong and erect after slaying so many relationships as a result. What we...
