Tempting Combo Vegetable Hot Pulav

​Hi friends, welcome to "Chatpata Chatkara" zone. PULAV is one of my favorite dish. I have tried almost all types of pulav and biryani and different rice cooked in authentic style. Pulav is easy to cook and filling at the same time. I cook this combo pulav very frequently. I generally use all the vegetables available while cooking to make it healthy and add very selective species to make it mouthwatering. As this pulav is having many vegetables and has species to give its various flavors, I just named it as Combo Vegetable hot pulav.

 Its aroma is awesome. And with beautiful presentation and garnishing it look like a "Royal dish".

Advantages to have combo pulav:- 

1) Full meal

होली की कहानी दो पंक्तियो की जुबानी

सबसे पहले आप सब को होली २०१४  की हार्दिक बधाईया।  होली की  कहानी को दो दो पंक्तियो में लिखने का प्रयत्न किया है।  रंगो के इस त्यौहार की  पौराणिक गाथा इस प्रकार है :- 

हिरण्यकश्यप एक था राक्षस बड़ा धूर्त 
स्वयं को भगवन मानता था वो बड़ा मूर्ख 

बेटा  उसका प्रह्लाद था विष्णु का परम भक्त 
हिरण्यकश्यप को सहन नहीं होता था उसका यह कृत्य 

अपनी बहन होलिका को बुला कर हिरण्य ने किया विचार विमर्श 
होलिका बोली नहीं जला सकता उसे अग्नि का कोई स्पर्श 

दोनों ने सोच कर किया प्रह्लाद को मारने का प्रबंध 
होलिका बैठी अग्नि में प्रह्लाद को लेकर संग 

प्रह्लाद के मन में था सिर्फ श्री हरी का भजन 
देखते ही देखते होलिका हो गए दहन 

प्रह्लाद का हुआ बल न बांका 
होलिका दहन को देखकर हिरण्य हुआ रुआंसा 

भगवान की भक्ति की ताकत बहुत महान 
इस तरह हुई बुराई पर अच्छाई बलवान 

उस दिन से मानते है होलिका दहन का त्यौहार 
लोग दोहराते है अच्छाई ही सबसे उत्तम व्यव्हार 

जला देते है बुराई लोग होलिका दहन में हाथों हाँथ 
राग द्वेष लोभ मिट जाता है श्री हरी के नामस्मरण के साथ 

छोटी कविता- Drive safely on road

बड़ी बड़ी गाड़ी में बैठे हैं लोग

धीरे चलो भैया नहीं तो दोगे  ठोक

घर में बैठी बीवी और बच्चे रहे बोल

जल्दी आओ पापा नहीं तो करेंगे क्रोध

पार्टी में बैठे दोस्तों ने लगाया तुम्हे फ़ोन

जल्दी आओ भैया नहीं तो मिस करोगे मौज

SAFETY COMES FIRST

सिग्नल को न देखा तुमने क्रासिंग को दिया तोड़

पोलिस ने रोका तुम्हें समझाया न लगाओ तेज चलने का रोग

म्यूजिक के चक्कर में तुमने सुना न लोगो का शोर

मरी लोगो को टक्कर और खुद  ने भी गवाए होश

घर में बीवी बच्चे बिलख रहे करे पुलिस को फ़ोन

पुलिस ने बताया उन्हें लगी है तुम्हे चोट

अस्पताल में समय बिताकर आये घर तुम लौट

कसम ली तुमने अब चलाओगे गाडी सेफली ऑन दी रोड 

TIPS TO MAKE SASURAL A GENDA PHOOL

Sasural Genda Phool

Yes my dear friendssssss……..sasuraal is like a Genda phool.

When you get married and if it is arrange marriage and if you are staying with you in laws then every bride feels butterflies in her stomach. 

                                                                                                                        

Everything is new to you, home, people, kitchen, customs, even the person to whom you married is also new to you. You have to cope with such changes and at the same time you have to understand everybody.

As all people are new to you, in a similar way you are also new to these people. Understand that, these people will also take some time to understand you. One of the points I wanted to convey is that you should not make any prior assumptions without knowing your new people. Remember that what you give, you will get back…………..

Dear Ladies, I also got married two years back and I too had faced post marital changes  in relationship. There are so many factors which make you nervous while entering into new house like nature /behavior of your new relatives, food interest, culture, attitude, choice and what not. Perhaps I can’t list all these. 

I want to share most important 15 tips to you ladies out of my own experience to be at ease in your new home:-

             

• Give respect to everybody.
• Do not be shy. Speak up and spend quality time with them.
• Help your relatives in their works and try to understand them, about    their hobby, rules, regulations etc etc.
• Get up early and wrap up your things fast.      
• If you do not how to cook or if you do not know how to operate some  machines etc. etc. then just go and tell to the person politely about   your  incapacity to do the said work and try to learn the same.
•  If you are going out then inform your elderly people in the house. Similarly if you are not feeling well or are not comfortable with some things then you  should inform them politely otherwise they will never know what is  happening and unnecessary misunderstanding will be there.
•  If somebody is coming to visit you then inform them in advance.
•  Give respect to their rules, culture and customs. Try to follow the same.
•  Most important – take care of your husband
•  Do not take all responsibilities on your head. Share them.
•  Focus on positives.
•  Avoid comparison of your parent’s home with your in laws home.
•  Do not gossip.
•  Keep faith in relationship and always keep environment friendly.
•  Appreciate people.

Always keep in mind that first impression is the last impression. Be little caution about your behavior, attitude and gesture. Above mentioned tips I would recommend newlywed bride to keep in mind. Once you get acquainted with others then it will be very easy for you to manage the family. You will enjoy each and every thing with feeling any burden. 

Song “sasuraal genda phool” from bolly wood movie Delhi 6 is very true in the sense that the scene created in the song is very natural and this shows the transition of a lady who started liking her in law house.

I am very sure that after spending couple of months with your new family you will feel one of them and your butterflies stop flying in your stomach hhhhhhhaa.

ARE YOU REALLY CONNECTED WITH YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS? OR JUST STAYING TOGETHER AND SHARING ROOF……..?

If somebody asked you, what is family? What will be your answer? Just think for a second and see what answer you get it in your mind. This answer will reflect your involvement/connectivity/attachment with your family. For me, family is a precious gift from Almighty.

Family system in our society: -

Nuclear family: - Husband, wife, children (Max members 4 or 5)

Joint family (Relatively small):- Grandparents, Parents, Siblings, Spouse, Parents in Law, Kids (Max Members 6 to 10)

Joint family (Relatively large):- Grandparents, Parents, Siblings, Spouse, Parents in Law, Kids, Uncle, aunty, cousin (Max Members 10 to 14)

Present situation/ daily routine:-

If you observe present situation, you can find that we are so busy in our work, may be in office, in studies or in some other activities that we are not having time for our own people. We are very much struck in our own world in such a way that we cannot attend our children, parents or grandparents; we are not having time to listen to their problems or enjoy things together. We don’t know what is happening in life of our family members.

See the matrix below and assess yourself in terms of quality time spend with your family:-

Attributes	Yes or No
Do you leave home after 9:00AM in the morning for work?
Do your children get up before you leave in the morning for office?
Do you meet your parents before going?
Do you have time to take enough breakfast?
In office, do you have time to call your wife to say that u reached office safely?
During lunch hour, do you have time to call your home for some casual talk?
Do you reach home in the evening?
Do you spend some time with your parents and children and inquire about their day?
Do you watch TV or devote time for your hobby?
Do you spend weekend with   family?
Do you know when your children are having their exams?
Do you take your parents for health checkups?
Do you take your family for   picnic, movie or present at home on every function?

This list is only indicative not exhaustive. If your maximum answers are NO then you are not having work life balance. There is strong need to interact with your family otherwise your will be left alone someday and you are failing on your duties.

So please, get a wakeup call and give time to your most precious people. Believe me your people love you; they need ur time and attention.

How to connect?

See, here are some easy, simple activities to do together with family members to stay connected with them:-

Dinner: - Make sure that all members of the family should take their dinner together. It’s a famous proverb that “the family who eat together stay together”. Try to avoid any call and avoid television also. Just sit together and have dinner.

Games: - Try to take out some time from your busy schedule (probably after dinner or late in the evening) to play indoor games like carom, cards, business or play station etc. It is the easiest way to share time and fun with children.  

TV watching/Movie: - At least watch any one of the TV soap which everybody likes together.

Picnic: - What an idea. Just go for a picnic somewhere nearby and relax.

Family function: - Try to attend all family functions with your family with full enthusiasm.

What you can get out of this?

Of course the most important, a sense of great satisfaction. Your family will be happy. You will be connected with your spouse, children and parents. You will be more active and happy. You will understand the thinking of your children, can take care of parents and at the same time you will learn amazing things from all these people.

So just CONNECT WITH THE FAMILY AND BECOME THE ROLE MODEL for others.

Do not forget to share tips to others for keeping their family happy. 

पर्स की कहानी

आऒ सुनाओ तुम्हें मेरी कहानी
आऒ सुनाओ तुम्हें मेरी कहानी
पुछोगे तुम किसकी हूँ  मैं नानी

तो लो तुम्हें बताऊ नहीं हूँ मैं किसी की नानी
मैं तो हूँ पर्स एक लड़की की जिसका नाम है रानी

छोटी सी मैं पर्स उसमें चीजें हैं दस
मुझमें सिर्फ दो ही ख़ाने
रानी भरती मुझमें दिन के चार टिफिन के खाने

सुबह खाने में होता ब्रेड बटर
उंसकी खुशबु से होता मेरे मुंह में चटर पटर

खाने में होता पुड़ी आलू
उसे भी टेस्ट करती मैं बनकर चालू

शाम के नाश्ते में होता बिस्किट
उसके साथ मिलकर नाचती मैं धाधा तिरकिट

रोज होता मुझमें एक फ्रूट
मन करता उस पर जाऊ मैं टूट

इस तरह मुझमे होता एक किलो का खाना
पानी कि बोतल को भी पड़ता जमाना

हाय यह है मेरी कहानी
हाय यह है मेरी कहानी
सुन लो मेरी यह सुनवाई

इसके अलावा मुझमें होता कॉस्मेटिकस
रानी सुधरती जिससे अपने चहरे का प्लास्टिक

मुझमे होता एक कंघा
जो चुभता रहत मुझे हर एक घंटा

मुझमे होता एक पाउडर परफ्यूम का डब्बा
जो महकता रहता मेरी बॉडी का चप्पा चप्पा

एक है लाल लिपस्टिक
जो मुझे भी लगता रापचिक

मुझमे रहता एक लाइनर काजल मस्कारा
जिसे लगाकर रानी लगाती मधुबाला

इस तरह मुझमे है नंबर ऑफ़ आइटम्स
जिससे रानी होती एक हॉट पॉपुलर आइटम

यह है मेरी कहानी
कहो कैसी लगी तुम्हे मेरी जुबानी
यही खत्म नहीं होती मेरी दुहाई
सुन लो और रानी के अत्याचारो कि गवाही

रानी करती नहीं मुझसे प्यार
साफ करती नहीं मुझे एक भी बार

चेन हो गए है मेरी ख़राब
सुधारने कि फुरसत नहीं उसे एक भी बार

फट जायी हू नीचे से
क्यों नहीं बदलती वो मुझे नए सिरे से

होती नहीं मुझे एक भी छुट्टी
ले जाती मुझे सन्डे भी जबरजस्ती

मोबाइल के वाइब्रेशन से हो गए है मेरी तबियत ख़राब
सोच रही हु कब होगी मेरे तबादले की बात

काश रानी का होता बॉयफ्रेंड
देता उसे नया पर्स बदलने के बाद हर एक नया ट्रेंड

ये है मेरी  दुःखभरी कहानी
ये है मेरी दुःखभरी कहानी
बचाओ मुझे इस लड़की से जिसका नाम है रानी

So how did you celebrate 31st night???? It must be full of blast. We (me + family) have also celebrated it and let me tell you this was the best 31st party I ever enjoyed.

31st morning was as usual fast, was got up by 6 am. Then took bath, cooked breakfast and lunch and left home at around 7:30 AM for office. After a hectic day I reached home by 8:30 PM. 

L L L L

My husband was busy in kitchen; he was cooking some surprise dishes for all of us. I could not see other members and thought they might have gone out for some work. I took wash and then suddenly my sister in law came running from terrace to get glasses. I asked her what happened. She told me nothing and rushed back to terrace. My In laws and Husband was preparing for 31st night party @ terrace and I could not get a smell of their surprise party.

Then at around 9:30 PM....My sister in law called all of us upstairs. We could hardly believe the decoration she had done over there. It was rocking. She has completely turned terrace into a party hall. She got all the lighting done over parapet wall and on the railings of staircase. She got balloons all over the floor. She arranged for a table and chairs + music. There was a beautiful floor carpet, soft cushions and a bowl with flowers and scented candles. Terrace was looking like a disc and I was stunned to see her creativity and her enthusiasm.

Surrounding was mind blowing. Open sky full of stars, pleasant breeze, yellow lighting, fragrance of flowers and candle, colorful balloons, feather cushions, soft kalin (carpet) and music. What else you want?  J J J

 My Father In Law bought cold drinks and my Mother In Law had prepared momos and chocolates and potato chipssss. And then my husband's biggest surprise: - Pizza and cake. Awesomeeee.

Momos was delicious. With all sauces and garnishing it was really seems mouthwatering. What should I tell you about pizza. It was amazing. Full of cheessssssssss and loaded with capsicum, tomatoes’, baby corn,  onion and panner.  Its aroma was in the air and I was driving crazy with it.

We all gathered @ 10:00 PM with all the eatables. My sister In Law started music and we all including my parents In law were shaking their legs on the floor. Ohhh My Godddd. It was full fun. We have a pet dog. He also stated making circles around us. At the same time we were having cold drinks, chocolates and vanilla homemade yummy cake. After full one hour of dance, we settled and had our pizzas and momos. We were literally eating like a horse.

By then, time was 11:55 PM and we started countdown 666666andddddddd itssssssss now 12:00

Hurryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Good Bye 2013 and thanks for giving all wonderful moments

IIIIIIII 2013

2014 look here,  it is coming .........

We all then shook hands and then wish each other a year of great health, fatty pocket and full of masti which is on the way forward.................

We had a blast of balloons and firecracker and I called up my mom and dad to wish them a very happy new year.

MMMMMMMMM

It was amazing celebration and on top of that it was a surprise for me. I enjoyed it like anything and was amazed to see my parent's In Law enthusiasm. I will always remember this cozy night spent with my family.

Here again I wish you a very happy new year 2014.
