Recreation Of The Delicious Phirni !

  /     /   No comments   
rice pudding , heerni, phirni simple recipe
Dessert is my favorite part of the meal ! My mom makes the best desserts but there’s some magic when she cooks a pot of the sweet pudding hailing from North of India – The delicious phirni ! Every time phirni is cooked at my home it hardly lasts in the fridge for it is emptied within a day ! Trust me phirni made by mom is so delicious one can not be satisfied with just one bowl of phirni! Though it’s a sweet pudding my mom would make sure the amount of sugar used to make the dessert does not harm our health and at the same time does not lose the taste of sugary heaven .
Since many years my mom has substituted honey instead of sugar in desserts . Recently my dad complained how long it had been since he had eaten phirni and that’s when I decided to whip up the delicious phirni but with a twist. Substituting Sugar free natura instead of Sugar ! It was the most delicious phirni ever for the phirni pot was empty within 24 hours (At my place a dessert is judged on how fast it is consumed by family :P)

It’s the Case Of Creativity: My Quirky Zenfone 2 Inspired LookBook!

Zenfone Elegant Expression enteries contest
One thing that keeps improving in fashion is creativity ! Everything in fashion changes on terms of creativity every now and then. The newest to join the fashion bandwagon are the Phone case covers! At present it isn’t odd for a woman to have a huge collection of apparel or handbags. But now, fashionistas are treating cell phone cases like the newest accessories! Fashion conscious women and men have started to stack up several of them for different looks. The smartphone is no longer just a medium for communication, but an aesthetic object in itself. Phones do so much now and it is typical for people to carry a do-it-all gadget. Women don’t like to repeat their outfits and hence its not a wonder when they keep changing their case covers and buy interesting case covers as they want to spice up their look by adding that lil extra zing to their phones!
I myself fall in this category and was elated to find the contest in which ASUS allowed us to design a phone case cover all by ourselves ! :D In the past few months I have seen people choose a phone case that goes with their moods or life stages.I love designer, multicolored, or trendy designs work on my phone case with a lot of things. Fashionistas have different phone cases based on how they feel a particular day. I consider myself to be a fashion conscious person and absolutely loved making Zenfone 2 case covers for the contest ! Its one contest I completely loved participating in! As you can see above all of the zenfone case covers are enteries submitted by me :D And if ASUS likes my entry I could even end up winning a limited edition zen case cover along with a zenfone 2 ! ^_^
the best part is they have weekly prizes and 1 huge grand prize. Weekly Prizes include a ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML) and 1 Limited edition ZenFone 2 case by CutiePieMarzia! Along with it there is a Grand Prize winner too! Best design will be printed as the limited edition ZenFone 2 case. Isn’t that cool?
Its one contest you shouldn’t miss participating in! submit an entry in the contest, the entry can be fun quirky- an photo you've taken or a design you've created but it must be fashion forward and represent your fashion aesthetic! Its high time you find the perfect case to express who you are, match your outfit or even to suit your mood'.
It seems as though every fashion Blogger, Socialite, Celebrity and Fashionista on the street owns a 3-4 phone fashionable case covers! I absolutely loved the limited edition case covers launched by ASUS and created a while lot of look books on them!

Walking In His Footsteps: #MadeOfGreat !

inspiring journey to greatness
“Wash all of the filth away & alter my dead heart
Make me alive again, give me a fresh start
So change my heart please and wash the filth away
Don't leave me drowning here alone and astray…”
- Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmed (DB)
There comes a time in life when you feel all time low , dejected and find reasons to cry all the time. No? You are lying if you haven’t experienced something such as this feeling of what I call ‘the dead heart’. One might have a good job and a happy family yet find it strangely sad and lonely in the inside. That’s the ‘dead heart stage’ . The heart’s beating but its dead. You can hardly feel anything . And this is the stage where you look up for every little detail of motivation passed into your way. Thanks to my father for he introduced me to that particular person who from head to toe is undeniably #MADEOFGREAT!

Keep Calm And Gift An Asus Zenfone! #HarPalHappiness

  /     /   11 comments   
Joy, happiness, excitement, whatever. We all know the festive season are really about presents. Last month was one of the best months of this year because of these reasons. It was either joy from shopping online or happiness received while buying a gift for my loved ones! And with Diwali around the corner the excitement just doubles up! I believe there is a connection between gifting and happiness.
We all are happy during Diwali, no doubts there. Happy because all our close ones living far by fly back home to spend special time with the family, happy because we get to eat the most delicious delicacies*My favorite part* , happy because one can simply sit on the terrace and watch the night sky flicker with millions of colors ( I LOVE SKY scrapers) plus not forget the most important thing GIFTS ! YES ! Once a wise man said “There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.” I am sure most of you believe in this principle. If so, then perhaps you have wondered what kind of giving is the most valuable. What kind of giving really produces that deep sense of happiness that eclipses real joy? For me its buying gifts that will brighten up my loved ones lives. Isn’t the emotions and their memories formed during Diwali that we cherish throughout the year until the next Diwali?

Fun in 140 characters twitter comedy trends

Twitter is a site that never sleeps ! You have loads of tweets flooding on your TL 24X7. How many of you login to twitter and find it hard to logout ? *Me me me* Yes ! Its one addictive hell of a micro blogging site. With millions of users joining twitter everyday twitter has just begun to get way more interesting than it was before. It keeps you entertained with better stuff unlike the saas-bahu sagas on Tv’s ! You just have to follow the right handles on twitter!
Every time I login I wish time stopped and I could keep reading, laughing, @interacting and re-tweeting tweets the whole day ! Twitter is my favorite pass time. Forget stand up comedians you’ll find eak se badkar eak tweetaar comedians on twitter ! Twitter not just about retweets and followers!
I’ll tell you what comedy is KING on twitter and humor is the QUEEN! Tweeple who have any of these are mini celebs on twitter, and those who are blessed to tweet with both comedy and humor you know what I call them? TWELEB :P . Tweeps who aren’t professional stand up comedians and live a normal life have amassed legions of followers by tweeting funny tweets . Their followers later hang on to every 140-character quip of these twelebs.
All those who find it hard to read cartoons and stories to have a quick laugh its time to open an account on twitter and follow the right people ! If you are already a bit funny in real life, the next best thing you can do is follow a bunch of funny people.
Everytime I snigger or laugh like I just read the funniest thing in my life , my family wonders what I am reading , while I actually am LOLing over a tweet on my TL!
Following are few of the funniest tweets I stumbled upon last week ! You are free to #LOL or #ROFL after reading them ! You are welcome

 Waitress: Is this your grandma? Me: My wife. Waitress: ... Me: ... Waitress: I am SO sorry. *walks away* Grandma: Nice one. High five!

Crane Collapse in Mecca- A tragedy not to rejoice over !

  /     /   18 comments   

 

Stop hate- Spread love

Every time the phone rings at late hours during nighttime I freak out ! Its either news that one of my relatives be it close or faraway expire or it’s definitely some bad news. And day before yesterday when my dad received a call at 12:30 am I had a feeling it was very bad news. It was my uncle calling to tell that the sad tragedy of a crane collapsing over the Grand Mosque had killed over a 100 people in Mecca. The crane collapsed after a strong thunderstorm hit Mecca

My parents are leaving for Saudi Arabia this week and this will be their first hajj pilgrimage. Such incidents do scare the public but no matter what the Hajjis will not stop. Maybe it’s the faith, which cannot be moved just like the mountains Allah created . With more than 2 million people to complete Hajj this year this incident will barely have any effect. We can only hope safety measures are taken and more such incidents are avoided.

I hardly read the newspaper and my only source of knowing the current happening and NEWS is through twitter trending topics or blogposts . And recently when a read an article on the crane collapse accident there were awful and hate messages posted by barbaric people . I don’t get it. have people lost faith or are they suffering from a disease that wants them to have a laugh on the name of religion when humanity is hurt. Well if you are happy that people from a religion you hate died why not keep it for yourself and go to hell but o they want to show the world they are hypocrites and barbaric humans.

Lives lost no matter where is a sad thing and not a thing rejoice over. My mother was all tears and said that all those who lost lives are residents of heaven now. I have seen hundreds of people wishing they could die in Mecca , but I guess God has other plans for each one of us. May Allah put their souls to rest and give them Jannah.

You have to give it up to the faith the pilgrims carry in their hearts . No one has turned their backs , the Hajj will go on for sure.My thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost loved ones at Mecca . I also hope people change their attitude towards the loss innocent human life .

saudi arabia, mecca accident, mecca mosque collapse saudi, mecca mosque collapse, saudi arabia mosque collapse, mecca Grand Mosque collapse, saudi arabia news, world news,

I was inspired to write this blog post after reading hate messages and messages where young women and men rejoiced over the incident here and stated that this was a moment of happiness as the tragedy took place on 9/11 anniversary. We are all Hindus or Muslims or Christian or Jews capable of getting hurt and having the power to hurt, and its the reason why its saddening to see people enjoying the death of so many innocent people. When will people realise hate does not do anything but spew out more hate. Get over your hypocrisy !May the souls of the innocent victims of this disaster rest in peace!

Until next time,

Love
