A remarkable send-off Full of love, warmth and ghar ka khana..

“Sir please, this is very important , the class test can happen tomorrow or any other, pluhessssssssssssssssseee” we moaned
The test was postponed , boys heartily took off to the canteen grinning and hi fiving each other on getting a line of free periods along with attendance.
The girls were back at work. They gathered in huge numbers from those in 10th and 11th. There were lots of talking, murmuring, discussing going on.
We were planning The most unique send-off for our seniors!
After a lot of tu tu mein mein we jotted down the events that would take place on the send off and those who took responsibilities for that.
1. Entertainment dance show with bollywood hit numbers, Tenth grade boys along with 11th grade girls
2.Play by tenth grade girls
3. Gifts for the teachers (Namitha,Sharon,Ayesha aijaz, Joshna,Mamtha,Jayashree,Sariya,Anees,Omesh,Merina,Kulsum)
4.Gifts for the send off seniors ( 11th grade)
5.Food glassware and serve ware ( Me)
6. Props and cake ( Sohail,Anil,Uzma and Ibn Anwardeen)
7. Food( Homemade food to be cooked by 1th grade girls)
8.Props for games and homemade cake ( Pavithra, Sohni, Friedy)
9.dance number by 11th boys (Song unknown, volunteers unknown) –Doubt
10.Permission to host party at xyz’s house (11th grade and 10th grade girls)

Few of the girls among us were expert chefs and we weren’t worried about the cooking part and I was handed over the responsibility of bringing plates, cutlery serve ware .

We had opted for home cooked food because nothing else could bring more joy on our peers faces than the joy of eating a home cooked meal. After a through discussion on what we would cook for our seniors on the send off we settled upon a sumptuous mughal meal.
When I asked mom if I could borrow her favourite Borosil glassware for the send off party as I wanted the best of everything to be put up on the unique party we were organising, she agreed but reluctantly, because you take extra care of things you love the most ! I happily packed cute, blossom melamine dinner plates, smart lid dishes , casseroles and a celebration platter on which I thought we could place our homemade cake. My mom always made sure the kitchen sparkled with dainty and beautiful serve ware in which the food when served created a total new different ambience for the one who relished !

Finally the big day arrived, the girls who were handed the responsibility of cooking got to work, it was very kind of our headmistress to grant permission to host our party at one of our classmate’s home. The teachers, our seniors and guests were to arrive in the afternoon on the venue.

Party On my Mind !

Hello my honeydukes :D

Its been months since I blogged last *sigh* Exam does this.
But no worries I am back with a baaaang ! :P

Lately YJHD fever has caught up with me ! (Read Ranbir Kapoor) :P
These weddings and the lavish way they are arranged in bollywood movies has always amused and amazed me ! So much glamour , beaches, matkas n jhatkas , awesome blossom food *yumm* !! If given a chance to organise a party I would not think twice before planning one like them :D

I would love to host an anniversary party for my parents and here's how I hosted a fantastic mind boggling spectacular super se bhi upar wala party *Yeah I know I am Dreaming* :P So here it begins *Dream Mode-On*

Location: Huge Palaces, fountains on either sides, surrounded by palm trees Aaahh, well nevermind that's too much on my pocket so I'll go for a Farm house in a beautiful atmosphere with cook in facility
Surrounded by soft lush green garden and myriad color of flower pots .

I make sure the Farm house is located far from the city away from all the hustle bustle and noise of a city..The only sound to be the chatter and laughter of all the guests and relatives :)

I made arrangements for all the guests to be present at the venue 2 days before the ceremony.
Welcome the guests by handing them over sweets and what better than gift packs from KOI
Gourmet Gifts - Halwas 2 Pack They make very cute gifts and ofcourse sweet. Love them !

                                           Jodhpuri moong dal Halwa! 

Its so much fun , when all guests arrive and its mighty awesome to see them drive to city to buy gifts while the aunties and ladkis make ladoos and gift wrap dry fruits...




 and not to forget decoration of house with Marigold flowers. 


Then comes my favorite part where we stack up all we have to wear and match all accessories with clothe:D                                      

                                                    
                                               
The day guests arrive its almost evening by the time they settle and make themselves comfortable. The next day the ladies apply mehendi on their hands (Mehendi nahi toh India mein ladki not dressed for a occasion mani jati hai :p)

                                               

And then the Dhol dancing were its just the women :D while the gentleman leave ladies alone and have fun all them by themselves!

                                      
                                     
 And dancing to bollywood item numbers with mom and dad wearing heels *Yippeee*

                                 
A lavish lunch throughout the week *Yeah lets get to the favorite part ;) :P* all spicy n chilly mouth watering selected from Kitchens of India and Parathes with Chicken curry *Yummm*
I always wanted to keep Golgappe,Gola and Chaats on my party menu
Plus not to forget the evergreen Biryani and brinjal curry !
for desserts!


                                       
                                                                Golguppes!

Gola *Slurpppp*


 
Mughlai dishes *Drool*
        
  Hyderabadi Biryani, Mutton kolhapuri and Chicken curry with Naan *10X drool*

                                     Jodhpuri Moong Dal Halwa       Hazoori Petha Halwa

Next was the Rasam ceremony were my parents play games with my whole family and they are made to dance on old hindi songs :D Or dad sings for mom *Awwwwww* ^(^.^)^
                             

The best part was were I arranged for a Red carpet for my parents on the last day of the party where they walk on it holding each others hands and feel like a celebrity when the photographers click their pictures ;) :D



I am sure my parents would be honored and know they are cherished once the party ends.

PS: All my cousins wanted (Read begged) me to host their parties after this ;) :P *Mini celebrity*
