Wednesday On toh Mobile Off

After trying for a day, now its final. Every Week, Wednesday On toh Mobile Off !
When you got admitted to hospital for few days, and have nothing else to do other than watch glucose entering your body drop by drop from bottles and think over on some weird ideas. The situation gets more interesting by the fact that each drop takes 6 seconds to enter your body and one bottle is full of 4200 drops.

One of the weird ideas to be implemented was to reduce the amount of time you spend with your mobile. Now see, the mobile is with us 24 hours by 7. In the morning it wakes you up, reminds you your important dates, put you through voices and messages important to you(with some exception of credit cards and personal loan voices!). For some lucky people their company bars the use of mobile phone inside the office premises. But otherwise its always with you.

No more now. In the effort to reduce my friendship with my mobile, one day of the week is dedicated to "No-mobile-today-no-matters-what". And the day is Wednesday. And if it will permit, the other days of the week can also join with Wednesday !

Weekend Special

What is the best timepass for the weekend after crushing ur head with tons of software code??

-Sleep till 11 in the morning.

-Go jogging.

-Watch a Movie.

-Go shopping.

No, get inspiration and then,

ladies and gentleman , here introducing the weekend special chef!

Item No:1 "Bhakhari Pizaa" (ભાખરી પિઝા)

Step 1

Prepare chopped tomatoes, capsicum, onion.

Step 2

Prepare bhakhari, a little thicker than normal.

Step 3

Fry the onion+tomatoes+capsicum+sauce(optional) with butter/oil.

Step 4

Spread the fried material on the bhakhari. u can spread cheese and other topping if required.

Step 5

Relish !

Item No:2"Dabeli"
Step1
Get dabeli masala(kuchh fame, available at many places). When u next time goto Gujarat remember this!

Step2
Go for shopping. But 2* packets of pav. (*conditions apply).

Step3

Boil potatoes in cooker. Peel them. Mesh them. Add dabeli masala. Add chilly. Again mesh them. The height of dabeli taste is directly proportional to ur ability of meshing ! If u can mesh it properly, u have won half the war.

Step4

Cut the pav. Put the aloo mixture in between. Now the remaining half battle starts. Put oil/butter on the pan and fry the prepared pav. Don't forget to "push" the pav, that's how it becomes dabeli !! make sure it doesnt get burnt.

Step5

Get ur self sauce(best enjoyed with khajur-amli ki chatney) and enjoy the hot dabeli. Toppings(sev, anaar, onion) will increase the taste.

Precaution: Keep the digestion tablets handy.

And after all this, u will get a more activity to bust the blues, write a blog about ur kitchen adventure!!

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

Recycle, we have to.

Is it true that when someone asks us to do something in a voice of 'advice', someone inside us tells us to not to follow just because it has not come from you but 'someone' has told you to do so. why should you do that? i think upto some part it is true. i would feel 'go away man. do u think you are smarter than me? i know what to do.'. may be it is my immaturity !
i hope this article would not turn out a 'advice'.

while googling 'recycle' i found one particular title which said. 'Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.'
yes, thats what we need to do. no options. i am confident that we are aware of why we need to do that. All that 'green house effect' and 'global warning' and 'go green' practices we are hearing from sometime!!

Reduce:
-your bike/car usage. if your office is near to your home, get yourself your childhood dream. Get a bicycle.
-print a document if it is really required. (No, office people have not told me to put this point.)
-USE coffee cup, dont WASTE. it is true that paper cups are recycled. But if we are recycling things before they are fully utilized then its waste of energy.
-for those whose work is related to computers or in that case any machinery which uses electricity, should shut down them at end of the day/when not be used for long time.
-at traffic signals, if by timer or any other mean we can predict our halt to be longer than 60 seconds, we must put the engines at rest. if it is less than that and we are using battery to start the vehicle than it is again waste of energy. (in that case use kick-start, aha!)
-no one uses the carbon filament bulbs nowadays. if by chance you are using it, its time to upgrade to 'CFL'. i thought i m not using filament bulbs anymore, but suddenly now i remember our gallery has the filament bulb. Today is its last day, promise!

Reuse:
-See this video. Its funny. Its good. Its appealing:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMKBRK9vdpY
-paper. If we are explaining or giving address or doing some mundane calculations, we can definitely use back of printed paper.
-plastic bags are easy but messy for mother earth. buy a canvas or other material shopping bag which can be reused.
-avoid paper napkins(even it is given free at office/food joint). hmmm..okay if not avoid than we can try to minimize! use your hanky whenever possible. we can reuse it, remeber?

Recycle:
I dont know exact difference between 'reuse' and 'recycle'. i think if you have to do some processing before you use items again is recycling. And simple, reuse is reuse. In that case the above video has to be on 'recycle' part.

how to recycle tea bags? how to recycle bath mat? how to decorate using recycled items? how to recycle tinsel? visit 'RecycleThis'
Visit this which says 'Recycle or go to hell'.


Reading this may be easy but following will be hard as always. Start with one thing and when it becomes a routine, add one more.

To put the end, Gandhiji once said,

'We should not use the natural resources like our forefathers have gifted us, but like we have borrowed it from our future generations.'.

One line about one one-liner

We all must have received one-liners about recession but this one in today's newspaper is the best that i 've received.

"The financial situation at the moment is so bad that women are now marrying for Love!"

See Nothing But Photo

While visiting Ootakamandalam aka Ooty some time back one board caught the 'eye' of my camera.
A good way to convey message, i m going to follow that.

*For those who cannot see the lines or image properly. drag between the two " " below.

"Leave nothing but your footprints."

"Take nothing but your memories."

Family That Strikes Together

It was the vacation time and we were all together in the afternoon at our family "hinchaka". Dad were giving advise on something and my sister was arguing pointlessly.
Dad got irritated and said at last, "listen, i have seen more diwalis than you."

Sister struk, "Papa, you may have seen more diwalis than me, but i have put on more firecrackers than you!"

poor papa!

==============================

Unlike me, my sis hates plain milk. so when she gets up early in the morning to study her medical epics, mom prepares her a big glass full of milk.
irritated enough, one day my sis said, "Mom, i dont want it. nobody is going to be benefited from that milk."

Mom said, "Bachubhai will get benefited! now drink it all."
Bachubhai is our milk-supplier.

poor my sis!

==============================

it was the saturday afternoon and i prepared the tea, with the tea powder we got from OOTY some times back.
i prepared and got some afternoon snacks and set it all for purvi.
while she was having the first sip, i said "that tea is from OOTY", expecting some good feedback for this once-in-a-week-tea-maker-hubby.

"Oh, its still hot"

poor me!
