Mother, synonym of GOD!

My mother, my GOD!

Today I'm what I'm only because of my mother. She has just done everything. I just couldn't even dream of things which she has done for me.
My all life is a memory with my mom. Each second of my life is a memory with my mom. I go beyond words to express my love and respect for her.

Sharing one of my memories. I'm very passionate when it comes to playing Table Tennis. I love playing table tennis whenever I make out idle time. One fine day I came to know about a Table Tennis tournament  happening in m city. I got so excited. I reached home and searched in internet about the venue and other details of the tournament. I was eligible to take part in the tournament but the only issue was the venue of tournament was approx, 40kms away from my home. Moreover, my dad was out on a business trip and driver was on holiday. Only me and my mom were at home and my mom's health was not the best.
My mom read the desperation on my face and asked me for what I was so desperate for. With hesitation, I told her about the Table Tennis tournament. She instantly asked me to get ready for the tournament even though she was in fever along with body ache.
I got ready. She took me to the venue in this heat just to fulfill my wish to play the tournament.

We reached the tournament venue. Got myself registered. I won initial few games and reached the quarter finals. But then I lost in quarter finals. My mom, just smiled and made me feel comfortable about the loss and motivated me.

It was just amazing. Even though her health was not good, she took me, then motivated me and brought me back home.
Hats off.

I love you my mom. I really love you. Always be with me.

Ek Nayi League!

Here we have World Cup winning captain bringing us a league of his own. Legend Kapil Dev who made India win a dream World Cup against all odds and made everyone believe that if you will, you can do anything. Nothing is impossible as word itself says, I M Possible.
Now here he is back with something really interesting, "Ek nayi league". He has made whole country pump up with excitement as he is yet to disclose about this extraordinary league. No one has any idea about it. It must be a revolution among all leagues played till date.

As we can see through his trailer videos for "Ek Nayi League", in all his videos he has expressed his natural love and affection for our nation. He's happily shared his memories with us. He has praised people for what they have achieved in their life and encouraged women in our society to go ahead in life and come out flying colors in the field of sports and other activities. Legend Kapil Dev has always believed in simplicity and it's so evident. The way he speaks and reacts are just in so calm and composed manner.

The whole country is just discussing and keep guessing about what it can be.
I feel Kapil Dev will come up with something as exciting as his cricketing abilities. Something as innovative as his captaincy and something as versatile as his all round capability.
A true legend will have it's own way to create an awesome league. As Kapil Dev once said "The hunger to win must not die... The appetite has to remain big."
His hunger to continue to do new things in life is commendable.

I guess it could be something related to stunts. It'll involve real excitement, it'll be really innovative and it'll test versatility of people. Got to be real exciting and thrilling one.
Stunts tests everything. As Kapil says" Dil se khelego toh hit wicket ho jaoge" so stunts will test real mental abilities of people. I think this league will be different from all kinds of league we have ever known. It'll have it's own specialty and will rule the country and mankind. Kapil Dev was difficult to be dismissed and he has carried on that tag till date. Even today Kapil Dev is ready and running to start a new innings in life. Also, Kapil Dev's bowling was such that anyone could get out in the blink of an eye. And he has maintained the same till date too. Because he's going to get out the poeple in this league by his twists and turns.

Really excited for this upcoming league. Can't wait for it to begin and watch Legend Kapil Dev back on pitch again.

Digital India! Intel India!

DigI(tal)NTEL INDIA!

Roti, Kapda aur Makaan?

NO!

It’s:

Roti, Kapda, Makaan aur Internet!

Yes, that’s how technology has brought changes in everyone’s life.
Technology, a term which has re defined the way of living a life.


 


             Old days letters.                                                    New Gen. e-Mails!





      Queue in bank!                                                                     ATM cash!

DIGITAL INDIA!

It is a project undertaken by Govt. of India for betterment of the nation.
To bring technology available to each and every citizen of the nation.
To make internet available to every citizen.

The core vision of the project is to:
·      Digitalize infrastructure to such an extent that it’s available for every citizen.

·      To make available services on demand to the citizens.

·      To Empower citizens digitally, i.e., accessible digital resources and digital literacy.

Digital India is an ambitious programme of Government of India projected at Rs 1,13,000 crores. The programme will be implemented in phases from 2014 till 2018.  It is coordinated by DeitY(Department Of Electronics & Information Technology), implemented by the Central and State governments. It covers many government departments. It weaves together a large number of ideas and thoughts into a single, comprehensive vision so that each of them is seen as part of a larger goal. The Programme pulls together many existing schemes. These schemes will be restructured and re-focused. They will be implemented in a synchronized manner. The common branding of programmes as Digital India highlights their transformative impact.


Intel’s India!

Intel treats India as what mother treats her child.
And this can be proven by endless examples.
Some of them are:

ü Intel has trained over 18 lakh teachers through Intel Teach programme
ü Intel Learn programme has reached 1.8 lakh
under-served students
ü Over 2.35 lakh students and 4,500 faculty across 450 institutes have been impacted through Intel Higher Education programme
ü In 2012, Intel launched the National Digital Literacy Mission (NDLM), along with Nasscom.
ü Over 16,500 youth were trained by 450+ volunteers from 10 NDLM partners in seven days during Digital Literacy Week

In December 2012 Intel adopted 3 villages (BBNL pilot for Tripura, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan) and set up digital literacy training camps Achieved 100% digital literacy in these villages, as measured by one e-literate person per household
In Dec 2014 Intel announced  Digital Skills for India and  Innovate for India (#DigitalIndia) initiatives,  Intel India will also work with Bharat Broadband Network Limited (BBNL) to build capacity by imparting digital literacy training to key resource persons in the first 1,000 panchayats under the National Optic Fiber Network roll-out in India.

As part of its Digital Skills for India programme, Intel India has unveiled a digital skills training application, which includes modules on digital literacy, financial inclusion, healthcare and cleanliness in 5 Indian languages. App is available free on Android Play Store from December 6 2014 in Hindi, English, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil and Kannada. A similar offline training module will also be made available in seven Indian languages.





E-Governance!

Electronic Governance.
Recognising the increasing importance of electronics, the Government of India
established the Department of Electronics in 1970. The subsequent establishment of the
National Informatics Centre (NIC) in 1977 was the first major step towards e-Governance
in India as it brought ‘information’ and its communication in focus. In the early 1980s, use
of computers was confined to very few organizations. The advent of personal computers
brought the storage, retrieval and processing capacities of computers to Government offices.
By the late 1980s, a large number of government officers had computers but they were mostly
used for ‘word processing’. Gradually, with the introduction of better softwares, computers
were put to other uses like managing databases and processing information. Advances in
communications technology further improved the versatility and reach of computers,
and many Government departments started using ICT for a number of applications like
tracking movement of papers and files, monitoring of development programmes, processing
of employees’ pay rolls, generation of reports etc.


Acceleration of vision of Digital India!

E-Governance holds the key for acceleration of this initiative taken up by the Govt. E-Governance is something which united every citizen of the country. Each citizen is connected with the Govt. with some or the other means. E-Governance spreads use of technology to the root levels.
People resist to changes. It’s true. But when it comes down to compulsion, one as to use and that’s where E-Governance comes into play. E-Governance will motivate each ad everyone to step into the digital world. Henceforth, everyone will come on ease terms with the Digital world and that will give huge acceleration to the project Digital India!

E-Governance also ensures direct communication with the citizens with no involvement of middle men in between.
Several projects of E-Governance has turned out to be big success in different part of the countries.

E-Governance won’t only accelerate Digital India project but also it accelerates the speed of work.
For example, filing IT-return.
Earlier it was such a botheration and time consuming task. Now, it’s clean, clear and simple. No botheration of going anywhere. Just sit down and submit your Income tax. It’s that easy.

In today’s world, laptops; tablets; smartphones etc are almost a compulsion and most own it one or the other product. Different apps by the Govt. can accelerate use of online services by the Govt.
Indian Railways for example. Getting to buy tickets online for trains is such big bonus and big hit. No botheration in standing in long queues and wait to get hands on the ticket. Everything gets simplified in this digital world.





Intel Acceleration!

Intel is giving tough competition to E-governance for the assisting to accelerate Digital India project.
When you step into Digital World, it means you step into Intel World. It goes hand in hand.

Be it a laptop or a tablet or a smartphone, if anything has to be common between them, it got to be INTEL!
Intel has changed the dimension of digital world by endless inventions and advances in technology world. Intel’s help in making people aware of Digital world, itself is something to be proud of.

I thank Intel for giving me this opportunity to express my views in Digital India and E-Governance!

Brilliant Homely Cuisine at Singapore

MEME, MEME, MEME!

Good MEME makes me mad,
   Bad   MEME makes me sad    


LET'S ENJOY!

Food. It’s indispensable part of life, having paramount importance. We get nutrition from food and nutrition plays all imperative role in our life. Only if we eat well, sleep well, think well and stay healthy and energetic. Everything we eat is a food and nothing else. 

And when it comes to food, people have their own liking's and dis liking's. Some are crazy for food, some consider food as essential part of life and hence fulfill it. Some love to eat varieties of food, some are very selective about their food. Some are vegetarians, some non-vegetarians. Some like healthy food and some junk food. So it all depends on individuals what they love to eat.Talking about myself, I’m a crazy food lover. I simply love to eat different types of food and am fond of tasting new recipes and then cooking them. Fruits are like my favorite friends. Being a Marwari, I’m a born vegetarian. I just love life, so I am a vegetarian. I feel my body is not a tomb for other creatures. My hearts feel sorrow in killing a living creature just for eating. Vegetarianism is harmless and it tastes better.

Just Foodie!

I love to have Rajasthani foods, Indian, continental, Chinese, Italian
and list goes on. I love homemade food and also love to eat varieties of foods in restaurants. 

For me my best food was plain chapatti with ridge gourd. My husband was insisting on going to Singapore, but I always refused as far as I know that Singapore vegetarian cuisines are not so good in taste. 
But then I made a trip to Singapore, booking my stay at Far East Hospitality and then the story unfolds.


Singaporean cuisine indicates the ethnic diversity of the culture. Singaporean culture declares eating as a national pastime and food, a national obsession. Food is the most frequent topic to be converse with among Singaporeans. Singaporean cuisines attracts tourists along with its shopping.

I got my freedom of choice from the huge varieties of food in Singapore. It is a paradise for food-lovers. There are maximum amount of awesome marvelous cuisines (vegetarian and non-vegetarian) found in this
smallest area.
Fried Carrot Cake, Hokkien Prawn Mee, Hainanese Chicken Rice, Rojak, Nasi Lemak, Laksa, Fish head curry,Chilli Crab, Char Kway Teow, Otak Otak, Rendang, Mooncakes, Hakka Yang Tau Foo, Roti Prata, Fried Sesame ball, Dumping noodles, Bak Kut The, Satay, IceKanchang, Cendol, Ayam Buah Keluk, Nasi Padang and above all veg KAYA TOAST, my favorite Singaporean dish. 

SINGAPORE, ALL THE WAY!!


Kaya toast is a traditional breakfast staple. It is prepared with kaya--sweet coconut jam, butter and is spread over toasted bread. Singaporeans are known for personalizing their eating experience. So it is no exceptional. So Kaya toast is also made from butter or margarine, soft- boiled eggs, a topping of sugar, coconut milk and sometimes crackers are used instead of toasted bread. It is combined with an aromatic cup of local coffee.  It is just a typical breakfast in Singapore. It tastes pretty decent. My taste bud always crave for it. I believe in good taste, so I love Kaya toast. I tasted this dish at Ya Kun Kaya Toast who sells these toast since 1940’s. When I put my favorite Kaya toast inside my mouth and then it reaches my taste bud, that feel is just priceless and is beyond description. It is well-loved by locals as well as new comers like me.I can bet Kaya toast is the only meal full of nutrition without paying much and one can eat it like a king in breakfast.I promise that I cannot forget this in my whole life.

Kaayyaaa, I love you!!


Apart from kaya toast I like Vegetarian Rice noodles for lunch and Cendol as my desert. I also bought Kaya spread and local coffee powder. 


I felt like BHUKKAD (GLUTTON) in my trip to Singapore. I would consider going back next time with my mother-in-law, because vegetarian dishes are as tasty as non- vegetarian dishes. It is a paradise for food-lovers. These memories are engraved on my mental urn and can’t be erased in future. I will share it with my friends, family, lovers’ and bloggers. I fell in love with @FarEastHospitality stay and Singaporean food.
We have just stayed for 2 nights at the Amoy. Great location in the heart of he historical area. The hotel staff are knowledgable and very friendly. Brilliant services and great location : Really impressed.We feel the loving touch of home at our @fareastospitality stay along with divine cuisine if Singapore.

Far East Hospitality, You're now close to me!


In conclusion, I can say that food and Singapore are made for each other and can create a better love story than LAILA-MAJNU or ROMEO-JULIET. Singapore is a Food heaven on the earth.


SINGAPOREAN MEME!! 

Kudos to Singapore GiveAway; Thanks to @FarEastHospitality

Wow Breakfast!

The word ‘breakfast’ literally refers to breaking the fasting period of the prior night. It is first meal most often eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day's routine of work. It is the most important meal of the day and should be eaten like a king. All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast.
It's often the meal you play a game on. I make sure I have oatmeal, milk, fruit and Kellogg’s cornflakes. It's the fuel I use to hopefully do my best, so eating right is a big part of being a perfect homemaker.
I was in the habit of forgetting breakfast and snacks, but  since I bought a pack of Kellogg’s Cornflakes my taste buds crave for it and breakfast has become my favorite way to start off my day in a healthy way. Many yummy dishes can be prepared in a moment’s time with a few ingredients added with Kellogg’s Cornflakes and minimum effort.
In my neighborhood Guptaji’s family cooks different types of innovative yummy and delicious breakfast adding Kellogg’s Cornflakes in their recipes. We keep getting the delicious aroma of their recipes like baked cookies, Ladoos, cornflake popcorn clusters, cornflake Walnut Chocolate Muffin, Cornflakes chidwa, Strawberry & Banana Cornflakes Sitafal Cornflakes, Cornflakes Khatta Moong, Cornflakes Coconut Ladoos, combined with crushed cornflakes, chopped nuts, condensed milk, and clarified butter. My taste buds awakens and my steps automatically walks to Guptaji’s home to taste the tastiest “NASHTA” filled with the goodness of wheat, corn, rice and oats (Kellogg’s Cornflakes). Sometimes I wonder whether Mrs. Gupta is a housewife or a wonderful master chef. She cooks separate nashta for each and every occasion. A single bowl of her hearty healthy breakfast is enough to charge me up till lunch. My mouth is already salivate. Finally it is unveiled from where and how can we get right nutritious breakfast. I wish I would have paid more attention to my breakfast earlier in my life. Nowadays as a good housewife, I always remember to include Kellogg’s Cornflakes in all my breakfast recipes.
But still on Sundays I do visit Guptaji’s home to taste four to five recipes from the menu of her 100 tasty nutritious and recipes. Nowadays my motto is “ Din ki shuruwat @Guptaji ke naashte ke saath”. In my neighbourhood each and everyone eagerly waits to get invited by Guptaji and have a taste of tastiest, healthier and yummy delicious breakfast. Guptaji’s home is synonymous to achcha naashta or @Guptaji ke Ghar Kellogg’s wala naashta. It is the only destination for everyone to have a nutritious breakfast.
To be summed up Kellogg’s Cornflakes is the best breakfast for the entire family.

Be simplest to be Happy!

                                            
 Happiness! It is something that exists within us. It is like a butterfly, when we chase it, it eludes but when we turn our attention to other things, it comes and sit softly on our lap. It is the spiritual experience of living each and every moment with love and gratitude. To me real happiness is to follow the motto, “Love all, get loved by all.” Happiness helps us to life to the fullest, and help make the world a better place for us and others too.
True happiness is to live and enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future. Happiness always consists in giving and serving others. Satisfaction is the greatest source of satisfaction in life. Mastery of passions brings happiness.
These are the simplest things that make me happier:
Just a glimpse of red rose makes me happier.
 Birds singing on a tree makes me happier.
When I send blessings to others, it instantly comes back to me and makes me more happier, as we all know that life is not all about receiving: but it is all about giving.
Whenever I am alone, I smile continuously and it makes me happy.
Making my bed at home takes two minutes and makes me happy.
Bring every room back to ready provides mind boosting happiness.
When I feel lonely, I recall my positive moments and wrapped up with extreme happiness.
Taking the trash out of my husband’s office expecting nothing in return creates strong and healthy relationship contributes to my happiness.
Saying “thank You” to any one of my loved ones brings happiness.
Inviting siblings, friends or relatives and spending time with them brings happiness to me.
Spending money on new things and gifting it to loved ones boosts up happiness.
My heart feels happy when I forgive others and gave them a chance to rectify their mistake.
Participating in any contest gives me happiness and winning it doubles my happiness.
Cooking PIZZA, PASTA, PUCHKA, PAW BHAJI, or ALOO DUM for my son gives 100% happiness to me.
Watching movie or play in a theatre or listening to old songs gives me happiness.
Sewing Clothes for Krishna-Radha’s Idol with my mother-in-law is the booster happiness for both my mind and soul.
Playing with kids or singing bhajans in satsang creates a happy environment.
A visit to an orphanage and distributing sweets and stationaries to orphans brings happy feeling to my heart.
A Facebook chat with a friend staying abroad creates happy moments to preserve.
Loving myself and forgiving myself awakens sleeping happiness within me.
Taking any type of responsibility in any social work brings meaningful happiness to me and society also.
And above all, viewing cricket match with friends and family, combined with coca-cola party brings contentment full of joy and opens HAPPINESS.
