</div><div closure_uid_xt74ol="200">If you could use only a few words to describe what friendship means to you, what words would you choose? I choose loyalty, honesty, support, open mindedness, harmlessness, and unconditional Love. I have learned through the years that to have a friend requires being a friend. It relates to the adages: "What you reap, you sow." or "What goes around comes around." Friendship is a state of Being. It is not about doing something for another or having lots of possessions to attract another. It is about being a mirror in which the other sees himself/herself. In a Consciously open and honest friendship, growth is the miraculous process available to each friend. Communication is a key component to a sincere and authentic friendship. When full permission is given by both friends to speak the truth and create mutual growth, anything is possible.</div><div closure_uid_xt74ol="205"></div><br />
True friendship is about seeing yourself and the other as God, Soul, Love, Limitless. It is the experience of knowing another at Soul level. There is a recognition of the other as a part of me, an undeniable oneness that is beyond space and time. It may appear that the form of a particular friendship lasts one month, five years, or a lifetime. The actual connection between two Souls is ever present and everlasting no matter what the form looks like. When considered from this perspective of the Soul, friendship is being Love in each and every moment. We never know when someone will pop into our life and make a difference. By living in the moment, we can be open to all the opportunities friendship has to offer......<br />

The reason? </em></div><div closure_uid_ivepe="196"><em>Your nails hardly seem to grow long enough to file them and apply nail-polish. A lady becomes all the more beautiful if she has "lovely hands. Long fingers, with nicely shaped nails that have been painted for a glossy touch" look absolutely ravishing. </em></div><div closure_uid_ivepe="196"><em> You need not spend a huge amount for attaining those perfect nails. With a little patience and discipline, you will soon have long pretty nails adorning your fingers. If you have always wanted long and beautiful nails but never really worked hard for it, here are some tips on how to grow nails. </em></div><em></em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<div closure_uid_ivepe="197"><em>•First of all, stop biting your nails if you do.</em> </div><div closure_uid_ivepe="197"><em> Nail-biting is not only one of the most annoying habits, but also very unhygienic. Biting nails constantly stunts its growth and ultimately damages it to an extent that it stops growing. Let your bitten nails start to heal up now and stop biting them. </em></div><em></em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>•Gelatin promotes nail growth. If you don’t like to eat gelatin foods like desserts, try taking it in the form of capsules. A good physician should be able to recommend you a good gelatin capsule. If your nails are too soft and brittle, you probably lack calcium. Take calcium supplements with a balanced diet to promote the growth of healthy nails. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>•You need to take care of your hands properly in order to promote nail growth. Don’t use too many harsh chemicals like detergents and cleaners on bare hands and if you do, make sure that you wash it off thoroughly. Keep your nails clean and apply moisturizer to make your fingers soft and supple. </em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>•After washing your hands, dry them off nicely and apply a hand lotion that is vitamin-enriched, daily. Keep your cuticles clean and don’t mess with them too often by pushing them back every now and then. Trim nails regularly to promote faster growth.</em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<div closure_uid_ivepe="204"><em>•Massaging your finger tips and nails will also go a long way in promoting growth. Get a good quality hand massaging lotion and massage your palms, fingers and nails gently with it on a daily basis. This will increase blood flow and that will promote the growth of nails</em></div></div>callmeasvijuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03681670380779874055noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693034173280759843.post-7528092208758688992011-04-12T09:27:00.000-07:002011-04-12T09:27:46.626-07:00HAPPY SRI RAMA NAVAMI TO ALL MY FRIENDS<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

<br />
Friends are our truest treasures. How many times have they: Made us laugh when we felt like crying over a bad mistake?<br />
<br />
Because friends accept us for who we are, we gain the confidence to dream great dreams—and to make them real. Friends liven up our days with their twisted humor, their honest answers, and their ability to bear our gloating when we beat them at golf or tennis. We can even trust them with our most embarrassing secrets! What a relief it is for us to reveal our true selves to someone! <br />
<br />
<br />
It’s no wonder, then, that medical researchers have found that those who have friends tend to be happier, healthier, and live longer than those who do not. In fact, friendship has numerous physical and spiritual benefits. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>TIPS FOR MAKING FRIENDS:</u></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><em>1. BE YOURSELF:</em></strong><br />
<br />
<em>This may be the hardest part. Humans are social creatures; it's in our DNA to care about what others think of us. In the caveman days if we didn't get along or agree with others, it meant being ostracized. And being ostracized meant starvation & death. Thankfully times are different. But we are still influenced by our peers, thus the pervasiveness of peer pressure. Fight against it and be yourself. Only then will you truly find people who like you for you and not for who you pretend to be.</em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>BE CONFIDENT</strong></em><br />
<br />
<em>In my experience we all go up and down in how we feel about ourselves. If you're feeling bad about yourself, your chances of finding healthy friends is at risk. Take stock in yourself and make sure you feel good about yourself first. Only then can you radiate to others that you are someone worth knowing. If friendship is a two-way street, you are basically advertising: I am a good person and will add value to your life, just as you will add value to mine.</em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>TAKE PART IN ACTIVITIES THAT INTEREST YOU</strong></em><br />
<br />
<em>In doing so, you will find like-minded people and your comfort level will increase. And worst case, even if you don't, you are doing an activity that you enjoy. It's a win-win situation!</em><br />
<br />
<em>EXPAND YOUR COMFORT ZONE</em><br />
<br />
<em>On the other hand, move outside your safe "box." Some would say, think outside the box. I say, live outside the box, at least sometimes. Give yourself permission to do something a little crazy. Maybe it's sky-diving. Or taking a SCUBA-diving class. (That's my definition of outside the box; yours might be different.) Put your toe in the metaphoric pool and you may find others doing the same. Again, at worst, you will get your adrenaline pumping and give yourself an interesting experience.</em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>DON'T TRY SO HARD</strong></em><br />
<br />
<em>As I get older, I find the more & more I relax into something, the better I am at it. The more tense I am, the worse I am; I'm frustrated and in a bad mood and things don't work as well. I believe it's the same in friendships & relationships. Relax. Enjoy yourself and your surroundings WITHOUT the goal of having to achieve "meeting someone." It's great to have a goal in our lives. But human relationships aren't formed on a timeline. They evolve.</em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>STAY IN SHAPE</strong></em><br />
<br />
<em>No, this doesn't mean you need to be a "10" to meet people. It's more about your own self-esteem and making sure you keep yourself out of the doldrums. There are many things we can't control, but you can decide to take a jog or join a volleyball club for peace of mind and exercise.</em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>ASK PEOPLE ABOUT THEMSELVES</strong></em><br />
<br />
<em>Shy people often think they have nothing to say in a conversation. My advice is, Ask Questions! People love to talk about themselves and it keeps the pressure off you to be witty or do the work of keeping the conversation going. Where are you from? What do you do? Do you like where you live? What do you think about (insert current event)?</em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT CURRENT EVENTS</strong></em><br />
<br />
<em>With the internet and TV, most people are up on world/national/local events. But if you're not, it never hurts to be "in the know" so that you can include yourself in those water-cooler conversations at work.</em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>EXPLORE THE INTERNET</strong></em><br />
<br />
<em>The internet is ripe with forums and social networking. If you can think of it, there is probably a chat room somewhere for you. There are two concerns, however. The internet is great for information and sharing; however, it also has its share of trolls and bad apples, so be careful. Even more important, in my opinion, is that it's easy to get sucked into being "social" on the internet. The point of the internet should not be your total social environment; it should be a jumping off point for you to socialize with actual human beings in the flesh & blood.</em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>QUALITY NOT QUANTITY</strong></em><br />
<br />
<em>Remember, friendships & relationships are not about numbers. If you only have one great friend, I think you've hit the jackpot</em><br />
<br />

I'm Veeru... Viju's husband.<br />
Today Viju's kitchen was free for sometime, and I thought of preparing<br />
some yummy Sunday Lunch for Viju. She Loves Potatoes.....<br />
After some googling I got inspired by<br />
Vah Chef Sanjay Thumma's Barvan Dum Aloo and decided to prepare<br />
that, eventhough it is a long procedure, and complex for my cooking skills.<br />
Here goes my preparation....<br />

<br />
</div><div style="font-weight: bold;"><span id="goog_483316040"></span><span id="goog_483316041"></span></div></div><div><b>Preparation:</b></div><div>Barvan means stuffed.<br />
For Barvan Dum Aloo, it's better if you select long potatoes as in the pic above, so that it is easier to stuff.</div><div><br />
Cut the onion, green chillies, almonds and corrinader into small pieces and keep them aside.<br />
Grind the tomatoes to paste.<br />
Peel the potatoes, and cut them into half.<br />
Now scoop the potatoes so that are shallow in the centre.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-JUF5gDY6BVE/TYZSffio0nI/AAAAAAAAC3w/iOs4wfj1HmA/s1600/IMG_0332.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-JUF5gDY6BVE/TYZSffio0nI/AAAAAAAAC3w/iOs4wfj1HmA/s320/IMG_0332.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Now take oil in a pan, and deep fry these shallow potatoes till golden brown.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-_-Erkft3apI/TYZS0_KzZgI/AAAAAAAAC4E/LdqfOA8Zz5M/s1600/IMG_0334.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-_-Erkft3apI/TYZS0_KzZgI/AAAAAAAAC4E/LdqfOA8Zz5M/s320/IMG_0334.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Fry the scooped out aloo pieces as well. These are used for the stuffing.<br />
Cut the almonds into pieces.<br />
Chop the corriander, and the green chillies as well.<br />
Now mix the almond pieces, chat masala, raisins, chopped coriander, chopped green chillies to the fried potato pieces, and mix them nicely till they are bound well together.<br />

Now take a skillet, and pour a little oil.<br />
Add the masala items(bay leaf, javitri, cloves, elachi) and fry a little.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-f30Y7caTS1M/TYZS4Ax_J_I/AAAAAAAAC4M/5D028gQ4Bso/s1600/IMG_0336.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-f30Y7caTS1M/TYZS4Ax_J_I/AAAAAAAAC4M/5D028gQ4Bso/s320/IMG_0336.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Now add a little turmeric powder and ginger-garlic paste,and fry till the raw smell is gone.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-MfwPGtgMhKk/TYZTFIsFzLI/AAAAAAAAC4k/aIs4ttuqIFg/s1600/IMG_0338.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-MfwPGtgMhKk/TYZTFIsFzLI/AAAAAAAAC4k/aIs4ttuqIFg/s320/IMG_0338.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>Makar Sankranthi, or Sankranti is a popular Indian festival. It is celebrated in many parts of the country and in some other parts of the world with great zeal and enthusiasm. It is a harvest festival, which is celebrated in the Hindu communities. The festival marks the day when the sun begins its northward journey and enters the sign of Makar (the Capricorn) from the Tropic of Cancer. It is like the movement of sun from Dakshinayana (south) to Uttarayana (north) hemisphere. It is the one of the few chosen Indian Hindu festivals which has a fixed date. This day falls on the 14th of January every year according to the Hindu Solar Calendar. The festival is considered to be a day from where onwards all the auspicious ritualistic ceremonies can be solemnized in any Hindu family. This is thus considered as the holy phase of transition. </em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>Makar Sankranti holds special significance as on this day the solar calendar measures the day and night to be of equal durations on this day. From this day onwards, the days become longer and warmer. It is the day when people of northern hemisphere, the northward path of the sun marks the period when the sun is getting closer to them. The importance of the day was signified by the Aryans who started celebrating this day as an auspicious day for festivities. The reason behind this may be the fact that it marked the onset of harvest season. Even in the epic of Mahabharata, an episode mentions how people in that era also considered the day as auspicious. Bhishma Pitamah even after being wounded in the Mahabharata war lingered on till Uttarayan set in, so that he can attain heavenly abode in auspiciuous times. It is said that death on this day to brings Moksha or salvation to the deceased.</em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>Makar Sankranti is celebrated in almost all parts of India in myriad cultural forms, with great devotion. Millions of people take a dip in places like Ganga Sagar (the point where the river Ganges meets the Bay of Bengal) and Prayag and pray to the Sun God (Surya). In the western Indian state of Gujarat, the celebrations are even bigger. People offer thousands of their colorful oblations to the Sun in the form of beautiful kites. The act stands as a metaphor for reaching to their beloved God, the one who represents the best. Makara Sankranti is also to honour, worship and to pay respect to Saraswati (Goddess of Knowledge). At the start of this significant event, there is also worship for the departed ancestors.</em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>Makara Sankranti identifies a period of enlightenment, peace, prosperity and happiness followed by a period of darkness, ignorance and viciousness with immense sorrow. The six months of northern movement of the sun is followed by six months of southern movement. Since the festival is celebrated in mid winter, food prepared for this festival is such that it keeps the body warm and gives high energy. Ladduof til made with Jaggery is a specialty of the festival. In the western Indian state of Maharashtra, it is called 'Tilgul'. In Karnataka, it is called 'Yellu-Bella'. In some states, cattle are decorated with various colours and are made to jump over a bon-fire. It is celebrated differently in different regions of India.................................</em>callmeasvijuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03681670380779874055noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693034173280759843.post-60157653227210264542011-01-02T17:57:00.000-08:002011-01-05T16:29:32.713-08:00MY LOVELY HUBBY'S MYSORE PAK<a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_1094686845"></span><span id="goog_1094686846"></span>INGREDIENTS: Bengal Gram Flour - 1 cup<br />

</div>11. When the sugar is dissolved strain through a fine filter to remove dust particles.<br />
12. Pour the sugar syrup back into the kadai and place again on low fire.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8afN_H0UUGY/TSEd7CGLnoI/AAAAAAAACj8/_F7x9OuK_Fk/s1600/DSCF1029.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8afN_H0UUGY/TSEd7CGLnoI/AAAAAAAACj8/_F7x9OuK_Fk/s320/DSCF1029.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
13. Keep stirring till you reach soft ball consistency. <br />
14. To check the consistency, just drop a bit of the sugar syrup in the bowl/cup of water that you have near the stove.<br />
15. The syrup should instantly settle at the bottom as a round lump inside the water.<br />
16. This is the soft ball consistency (It will approx take 10 minutes to reach soft ball consistency).<br />
17. Now drop the gram flour little by little into the syrup, stirring constantly (to avoid forming lumps). <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8afN_H0UUGY/TSEd8S9-bLI/AAAAAAAACkA/zNDv0NrhhwA/s1600/DSCF1030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8afN_H0UUGY/TSEd8S9-bLI/AAAAAAAACkA/zNDv0NrhhwA/s320/DSCF1030.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
18. Once all the gram flour has blended with the syrup,<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8afN_H0UUGY/TSEd9zCNEkI/AAAAAAAACkE/H4Z_b3iZ-UY/s1600/DSCF1031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8afN_H0UUGY/TSEd9zCNEkI/AAAAAAAACkE/H4Z_b3iZ-UY/s320/DSCF1031.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
pour the hot ghee-oil little by little, stirring constantly. All the ghee will get absorbed.<br />
19. Continue to stir and within few minutes the mixture will get frothy and leave out ghee. <br />
20. At this stage remove from fire and transfer into the greased tray/plate and pat it even. <br />
21. Grate some almonds on top.<br />
<br />

<br />
However, all that food can splatter and spill in the microwave, making a big mess , plus, have you ever burned something in the microwave, such as microwave popcorn? That smell seems to linger on and on, as do many other microwave odors.<br />
<br />
1. Microwaves can be freshened by wiping the interior with a solution of four tablespoons of baking soda to one quart warm water. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. <br />
<br />
<br />
2. Wet a rag with cold water, leave it really wet but not dripping. Nuke it for about a minute and then open the microwave and wipe the mess away with a separate wet cloth. The one that was microwaved is VERY HOT do not touch it with your hands. Mess will wipe away easily without ANY cleansers at all. The steam loosens the baked on mess and it wipes clean away. May need to repeat a few times before you are done. <br />
<br />
3, put a cup of water in the microwave with a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice in it (or a couple of drops of dish soap if I'm out of lemon juice), run it for 2-3 minutes, let it sit so it steams up the inside of the microwave and loosens the stuck-on yucks, then wipe it all away with a paper towel. It's quick, simple and makes the microwave smell nice!.callmeasvijuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03681670380779874055noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693034173280759843.post-26636211454006509102010-12-30T20:06:00.000-08:002010-12-30T20:06:32.106-08:00START YOUR LIFE THINKING POSITIVE<em>Positive thinking is an art that can help you <strong>manage your life</strong> better. There are ways to follow in order to learn how to <strong>start thinking positive</strong>. Positive thinking is not something that will fall one day from the sky but it needs effort and skills to be able to achieve it. By <strong>start thinking positive</strong> you will place you self in a position that will allow you not only to <strong>manage your life</strong> better but it will also help you to raise yourself esteem and self confidence</em><br />
<br />
<strong><u><em>10 Ways to start thinking positive :</em></u></strong><br />
<em></em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>1. <strong>START THINKING ABOUT SUCCESS:</strong></em><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><em>Create in your mind an indelible image of yourself as a successful person. Keep this strong image within you, and do not even allow it to fade. Over time, this picture will evolve within you and the details will be stimulated. You must never challenge the reality of this intellectual image because it will be dangerous. Your mind will also try to fill the gaps in what was originally imagined. Always have in your mind the success regardless of how bad things seem to be at the moment.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Each time that invades your mind a negative thought concerning your personal powers and abilities, deliberately start thinking of something very positive to counteract.</em><br />
<br />
<em>2. <strong>BYPASS YOUR OBSTACLES AND FEARS</strong> : </em><br />
<br />
<em>Do not build your imagination with obstacles. Instead, try to minimize any potential obstacle. The difficulties must be studied and treat effectively in order to be eliminated, without giving them more power than they really have. Often fear exaggerates the difficulties and «hides» their true dimension.</em><br />
<br />
<em>3. <strong>TRANSFORM YOUR THOUGHTS TO IMAGES</strong>:</em><br />
<em>Think of your brain as an image playback unit. The images are coming from our thoughts, often taking shape in our minds and frighten us, or give us the power to be creative or inspire us or make us dream.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Negative thoughts create negative images and hence negative reactions. The same happens with positive thoughts that make exactly the opposite and work for our benefit. To start thinking positive you have to create these positive images in your mind and take advantage of the inspiration and creativity they will create.</em><br />
<br />
<em>4. <strong>DONOT GET IMPRESSED EASILY BY OTHER PEOPLE</strong> :</em><br />
<br />
<em>This must be the most intelligent advice. Do not overly be impressed by other people so as to copy them. Nobody can be as effective as you have in your life. Remember also that regardless of how dynamic and successful one can seem, often they may have the same lack of self-confidence and they may be afraid the same as you.</em><br />
<br />
<em>5. <strong>LEARN YOURSELF BETTER</strong> :</em><br />
<em>Get to know your self better. Find what is causing your inferiority or your fears and misgivings. It is likely these negative feelings of you to stem from childhood and from young age. You may often need the advice of a specialist to help you understand why you feel and behave in a particular way. Try to understand your self better, which is the first step in managing your life better.</em><br />
<em>Make a realistic assessment of your skills</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>Make a realistic assessment of your skills and then increase that by 10%. That does not mean that you will become selfish. Instead, you must believe in the forces and means to create a rock solid sense of your self. Only when you believe in your self you will be able to start thinking positive.</em><br />
<br />
<em>7. <strong>START THINKING POSITIVE AND CREATIVE</strong>:</em><br />
<em>Turn positive thinking into creative thinking. Positive thinking alone will not help us to manage our life better. What we need apart from positive thinking is creative thinking. Creative thinking is about planning, designing and putting objectives for the future. Starting from simple, everyday things we have in our daily schedule. This can be the first step to organize our thinking on how to implement the things we have to do.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Also the power of creative thinking, besides the benefits it can bring to us, can also be used as a positive influence for those around us. We can inspire them; give them incentives, energy and vision. Thinking creatively is something that we can train ourselves to do. It takes time and effort but when we achieve it we will be able to manage our life better.</em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>8. USE YOUR TIME EFFICIENTLY</strong> :</em><br />
<em>Start transforming thoughts to actions. Try and find ways to simplify and facilitate your daily obligations, which would result in savings of your valuable time that is needed for your personal improvement.</em><br />
<br />
<em>9. <strong>SOLVE YOUR EVERYDAY PROBLEMS</strong> :</em><br />
<em>Focus to solve some of the operational problems of everyday life and then direct the power of your positive thinking to try and shape your next steps in your lives, your personal relations in your career and your family.</em><br />
<br />
<em>10. <strong>DO NOT STOP DREAMING </strong>: </em><br />
<br />
<em>Dream! The power of thinking can take you to some great moments that made you happy…it can magically transfer you to the beach as if you were on holiday! It can transfer to you sounds, colours, smells and people.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Dream now what you would like to be in your life, your relationship, your work and think about it intensely with as many details as you can. This thought makes you feel beautiful? This thought gives you incentive to try to get to the point that you dreamed? Yes! We must do this every day thinking, again and again and again!</em><br />
<br />
<em>So, install a new operating system in your brain that will make you start thinking positive. This will ignore the fears and will not convert them into images, will ignore the bad thoughts about possible failures and transform them into a big picture of success and self confidence. You'll see that with time your life will become more beautiful and will approach the life that you dreamed about and also your behaviour will become more effective and more acceptable to your environment. Fight against the evil thoughts from their roots and do not leave them reach the surface. To start thinking positive is in your hand ... or rather in your mind!</em><br />
