Celebrations ???

~ stargazersmemoir ~ Leave a comment

What does celebrations mean to us ? We celebrate birthday, celebrate anniversary, celebrate promotion, celebrate festival, etc etc . But this time for me the meaning of celebration is completely different .

We always start every new year with gala celebrations with friends family . We toast champagne, we dance , sing , blah blah . We always look forward for these months ( October , November & December)every year , the reason being these months welcomes numerous festivals , occasion which leads to fun filled celebrations not that other months do not have any occasions but these three months holds special place as we all are in little relaxed mode , in festive mind . So year 2019 was no exception . Jan 1st 2020 we cheered Happy New Year 🎊🎈🎆 to ourselves , to family to friends , did we think in our wildest imagination that what are we welcoming and who even imagined 2020 would be the year of darkness , anxiety, full of uncertainty not just for me but for the entire world ?

Every day bringing events which is breaking our hearts . We are in the phase of Covid 19 , this pandemic has shaken us from every aspect of life . With my broken heart when I see the numbers of deaths due to this pandemic , how the family members are coping as they can’t even meet or see the loved ones who are in death bed or they are infected . I can’t imagine the level of stress the parents or the family members are in when their daughter or son or wife or husband are serving in the pandemic. Helping the world not thinking about themselves that they might get infected . For me doctors , caregivers, genitors, scientists are real superheroes.

Not that I didn’t celebrate any occasion in March or April . I did celebrate but with a crying heart and with anxious mind thinking whether I’ll be able to meet my parents or not ever ? They are in other part of world and I’m in different part . With anxious mind thinking how the world will be after this pandemic?? Are we all going to survive ?? Is their any ray of hope or ray of light behind this dark tunnel?

As I mentioned few sentences above that I did celebrate the month of March -April . April the month where we commence our Bengali new year .You know I performed all the rituals that are required . Usually we celebrate this occasion with friends and family members. Since I don’t have any family members over here I have been celebrating with my extended family members and who are they , they are closest friends for last 19 years . This year was so different , not that I didn’t cook delicacies I did but with heavy heart anxious mind , not with my extended family members . I missed them tremendously and kept on thinking Are we all going to see the light in this darkness or is the new normal ?

Then I tell myself which I always convey to my heart all the time that there is always a good reason behind everything we might not realize now but for this Pandemic I’m not able to find any good reason .Though there are few good reasons which I convey to my heart and mind are :-

We have been taking our Mother Nature for granted . Deforestation, killing animals ruining the ecosystem , chemical hazards , pollutions and what not … and see how Mother Nature is punishing us and she is able to breathe. You can see clear blue sky , pollution free Mother Nature . But then again looking at the suffering of the entire world makes me wonder when this will end . Can we all learn and remember that if we can ever come back to our normal life we can be more human , provide more love and compassion to everyone including animals , trees and realize that Mother Nature is for everyone not act selfish , not behave as monsters .

I grow vegetables every year in my backyard and it gives me immense happiness, peace when I talk to them take care of them . But this is my hobby or I would say l love doing this that’s why I grow vegetables but my life doesn’t depend on this , imagine the farmers whose entire life is dependent on their growth of vegetations. The cyclone Amphan that happened in my native place , took away their entire life’s hardships by spoiling their vegetation field . To overcome this loss it would take for them another 10 years . When I think how are they going to survive , do they have enough savings for them to survive my answer is always no . I tell myself what’s the good reason here behind this loss . Nothing right !

You know I’m so so thankful for all the privileges god has given , for all the opportunities god has provided me . One thing I have realized that I’m not going to waste money in unnecessary shopping , rather I would use those privileges to help people who are in need , I’m not going to let negative people take my peace , I’m not going to waste my life thinking all sadness that I have and self pity . I would rather celebrate life . The opportunities of talking with my son for hours and hours. The privileges of sipping tea in the backyard with cool breeze touching your cheeks , that’s the moment. I don’t want to wait for any occasion to celebrate , I don’t want to wait for moments to celebrate I want to celebrate each second I have in my life , create the moment as life is too short , too unpredictable and too beautiful. Let’s not waste let’s celebrate our Mother Nature .

Here are few quotes which I came across :-

This is from twitter and from ShahRukh Khan

Heart and mind: the two integral part of us .

Hello my blog friends , sorry for taking so long to pen my thoughts . I have been struggling to resonate my ideas but I just didn’t feel like doing anything . Was Juggling with hell lot of ideas but my mind didn’t allow my fingers to type in anything. It’s been a year now, sighs , so I told myself what the heck I’m not going to pick any theme or topic to pen today . This time my fingers will follow only my heart and whatever it says I’m gonna write . So friends pardon me if I hurt you or if you think you can appreciate me if I’m able to give you a smile .

Do you ever have this kind of feeling when you just don’t want to do anything , anything means anything . All you want is to stay alone , don’t talk just gaze at the sky . I have this kind of feelings almost everyday . I know I’ll be judged or may be whoever reads laughs whatever it is I’m giving you some topic to discuss hahaha . See solves sole purpose of this blog which is tickling people’s mind and heart .

So a year passed couldn’t bring myself to live my life the way I would want like laughing , giggling , struggling , blah blah .

But now is the phase where everyone is going through rough phase which is Covid-19 phase . The most nerve wrecking phase. To bring life to normalcy my friends are doing so many virtual events so that we all can be involved in our passion and we don’t go inside any darkness . Kudos to all of them .But what will you do to the person who is already in dark.

For example , I love love to dance but when my friend added me to virtual dance group where she choreographed a dance which I just loved so much but my mind doesn’t allow me to practice , it doesn’t . My heart pushes me but my mind stops me . Wow two integral part of your body and they always fight . So does it mean that I’m not passionate enough ?

I love chit chatting but when my friends organized a virtual chit chatting session I didn’t join because I didn’t feel like having chats with anyone does that mean I don’t have any interest in chit chatting or I’m going through depression phase or I’m looking to fill the vacuum in life ?? Do you all have these feelings ? Guys guys stop raising eyebrows.

I know where this write up is heading, towards a phase of people’s life which is depression . Yes I know what you are thinking . Oops how can she be depressed she smiles , laughs all the time . I know right but I go through this phase a lot .

I get depressed when I see people judging you when you are not responding in social media and giving you the title of snooty . I get depressed when I see relationships are defined based on social media interactions . Couple of years back there was/were no social media but did we define relationship back then . I think bondage were so strong there was nothing to show to entire world whatever you did was for that relation. Looking at social media interaction and people judging you based on social media I find it very depressing.

I get depressed when I see people bringing their ego in relationship and spoils the relationship. Life is too short my friends and it’s very unpredictable at least we all know by this time .Embrace the relationship and appreciate what you have and don’t bring ego or social media to represent or spoil the relationship.

I wonder what we lack in life is good listener at-least that’s what I lack , everyone is so busy with their own thoughts that they hardly have time to sit and listen to you without judging you . I do have couple of friends though , who listens and don’t judge . You know when we go through tough phases that’s when you realize who are your true friends who really takes care of you and thinks about you. Sometime I feel if there was a place with people who lends their ears to listen to you and give that shoulder to cry on this entire world would have been so cheerful . No medicine can make anyone happy . Time , ears , shoulder , love , compassion are the key ingredients of life which you can give to others and you can acquire those ingredients to give it to others and not hatred , gossiping , judging right ? Just lend your ears to a depressed person and promise yourself whatever he or she shares you will keep it to yourself and convey these magical words to that person “I’m there for you , if you want to cry cry I’m there to wipe your tears “. These words will help that person to come out of darkness and do wonders . Help that person to identify the goal on what he or she wants from life .

When you end up having all the responsibilities and do-not have time or space for yourself that’s when I guess this feeling arrests you . When you are in jail of depression even if world permits you to have your life you can’t or you don’t want, as you start liking this jail . The reason I’m pouring my heart is because I want to come out of this jail and follow my passion of singing , dancing , writing . I really don’t want to waste my passion and I don’t want to regret in my life thinking what if I did that …. The first step I took was To make my heart and mind come to an agreement to allow my fingers resume my writing passion so here I’m back !!! Hopefully I’m able to tickle your heart and mind . And now it’s the time for your stomach as , if your stomach is happy you have a healthy wealthy happy heart and mind what say ???

I’m sharing the recipe which is like my soulmate . I can eat everyday , anytime , anyplace , in any circumstances and that’s called Momo / Dimsum/ dumpling / so on and on and sharing this recipe with you all , gives me immense pleasure and I’m pretty sure this would make you all happy .

Here are the steps :-

These are completely my own version . You can add any vegetables or any stuffings you want.

Finely Chop cabbages, mushrooms, onions .

Make a paste of ginger , garlic and green chili .

Marinate the grounded chicken or lamb with ginger , garlic and chili paste for 2-3 hours . Don’t add any salt during this time .

Then add chopped vegetables and salt . If you are making with chicken add little butter to give that juicy texture when you gulp the dumpling ummm your mouth will be filled with heaven and each and every cell of your body starts dancing . A complete moksha.

Chicken marinated with vegetables and ginger garlic chili paste .

I used wanton wrapper but you can also make dumpling dough at home .

How do make dough ,mix all purpose flour , salt , baking powder and water . Knead well so that you get a soft dough . Let it rest for 30 minutes . Make small balls and roll those small balls to give a tortilla shape.

Now fill the chicken mixture and give any shape . While you are filling dumplings start boiling the water so that you can steam the dumpling .

In the water you can add little garlic , chicken bone/ lamb bone or add some Vegetables and this broth can be treated as a soup which is a great combination with Momo . I love my Momo with soup and spicy chutney . I know I know how much you want to eat this right now . While penning this recipe My mouth is filled with water ( hahahaha)

    Momo is Momo steamer
    Yummy chicken Momo .

    You can make this completely vegetarian just don’t add meat .

    You can also make filling with boiled potatoes, spinach and seasoning . You can make seafood Momo too . You can freeze the prepared dumpling and just do shallow pan fry . So many variations right .

    Mother – the reality

    ~ stargazersmemoir ~ Leave a comment

    I know , my last post was way way back, what caught me motherhood. Running behind my kid phew , so I got an idea why not pen down something for all mommies.

    A mother is the most fakest character you can imagine you know why.? Because a mother even if she is hell tired or frustrated she will still make her kid(s) happy . Her body might be aching with pain but she will still carry her kid on her lap . Her heart might be sobbing or crying for so many other reasons but she will laugh smile play with her kid so that her kid gets a peaceful happy environment. That’s why I say mother is the most fakest person. Why we fake , why don’t we just cry our heart out when we feel like in front of our kids or yell show our frustration because we feel if we do so , it will sink our child heart . Mother’s child will become sad . Hmm , such an unrewarding Job isn’t it ?

    One day I was driving to work and you know the morning is the most Stressful time, as you have to make sure your kid is ready , you are ready , everything is ready for school and work . If you wake up 5 minutes late in the morning then your schedule is haywire . So while driving I was thinking man I have become a robot , all the I do is wake up get my son ready , get ready , go to work , just focus on work , then when the clock hits 5pm brain starts hammering that you have to leave now as you got to pick up son , take him to activities , make dinner, help him do his homework , play with him, shower and get him ready for bed. Phew my day still didn’t end , he has to sleep then forcefully I tell myself get your me time that’s may be by reading about some Bollywood gossips 😇 or watching some food channel . So a complete robot 😭 . Ahh ,so I asked myself what if someone comes and tells me go simran jee le Apni zindagi haha me being Bollywood , it’s a famous Bollywood movie dialogue which means go and live your life . I know what will be my reaction or action , I’ll just give a blank look as I really don’t know what is life ? I cannot imagine myself beyond this robotic life . So what realization , we all love our robotic life isn’t it . This is the life ! We are human , but how long , once your kid goes to college what are you going to do ? You will have your ample me time but then what are you going to do. It scares me . Wake up , we all need to have a hobby or grow some hobby that will make you a human again otherwise we all will turn into a zombie . You can do this . I was telling one of my colleague that don’t worry for a mother to sail in agile environment is easy coz the moment a woman turns mother she is in agile environment, there is no scope for water fall methodology. My blog friends , waterfall and agile environment are terms of software development , what to do can’t leave my work behind. You can develop a hobby or something interest which will make your brain active . Let’s grow some hobbies my friends . I’m yet to find out what will keep me busy when my kid goes to college.

    You know why I said few lines before that the motherhood job is a full time job but with no bonus or no promotion or no appreciation, do you agree ? Each and every passions or dreams takes a backseat to embrace the rewards or the promotions when your kid grows to a pure human being not making poor

    choices , helping others , walking on the path of honesty , taking of care of others feelings , isn’t 😍?

    So to all mommies here is the recipe from my kitchen to yours 😊💕.

    Shrimp stuffed inside pumpkin or bottle gourd or zucchini leaf

    Steps

    1. Finely chop onions , garlic, green chillies and coriander leaves .
    2. Make a paste of mustard seeds with grated coconut .
    3. Chop jumbo shrimp.
    4. In a bowl , mix shrimp , with chopped onions, garlic, green chillies, coriander leaves, mustard paste, salt to taste , pinch of sugar .

    5. Keep this mixture for 10 minutes aside.

    6. In a separate bowl, make a batter by mixing gram flour , turmeric powder, red chilli powder and salt.

    7. Now stuff the shrimp mixture inside the leaf , fold it nicely and dip it inside the batter.

    ‘ 8. Now deep fry the fritters. It doesn’t take much time . Fry for 7-8 minutes , it’s done. Serve hot with white rice. Just try this finger licking food. You can present this as starter too.

    Cheers to all the mommies. Adious until I come back💕

    The Strory of a leaf

    ~ stargazersmemoir ~ Leave a comment

    A leaf !! what is a leaf ? A Leaf, if its left alone it looks shabby or looks lonely on the tree but if the tree has full bloom of leafs, the tree looks beautiful, glorified and gorgeous. Thinking of this lonely life of a leaf, does leaf stops coming back to the tree or does the tree rejects her thinking she will leave one day!

    When I looked at this picture I got the feeling of “the only leaf”! The picture looked so beautiful. Looking at the picture I started having a very strange feeling.  A feeling of belonging or a feeling of loneliness! When you look at dark, dry , lifeless tree you feel sad at least I feel very depressed but the same tree gives me happiness  or motivates me when it has colors of green , orange , red , full of life .

    Look at the picture, everybody left her , she is the only one who is there with the tree but is she thinking that, I don’t think so, she is thinking my tree didn’t reject me or rather I’m still with my tree no matter what. I’m still trying to make my tree look gorgeous, giving some meaning to the tree but inside her she knows she will be gone soon like others did. She knows tree will reject her or rather wind will take her away one more time but she will come back again giving everything to tree and then she will be gone but one day will come, when the tree will be gone and then…..

    That’s the life. Some people will see life is like half empty glass or some sees as half full glass of water. When we have people around we don’t value. Like the leaf, she knew even if wind takes her away , she will come back and tree will be standing tall to embrace her but when the tree is gone then…. the space becomes empty …. The void !!

    What do we need in life, we need one ear which is always there to listen to you, listen to everything what you have to say without being judgmental or not thinking what a waste of time. A shoulder on which you can shed your tears or laugh out loud.  That ear and shoulder can be anyone in the world it can be your mom or your dad or your friend or your husband or your wife or your kid or anybody in the world. You don’t need 100 friends or 100 things to stay happy you just need these two . If you don’t have a listening ear and a shoulder then become one for somebody who doesn’t have, trust me you will be the happiest person. Value the person or people who had given you ear(s) and shoulder(s) when you needed him or her and that person didn’t make fun of your situation or your imagination or didn’t become judgmental or didn’t expect gratitude from you.

    There is a famous Bengali Poem (Indian song), the lyrics says “Jodi tor daak shone keo na ashe tobe ekla cholo re “the words says when you call someone to walk with you, if he or she doesn’t come then start walking alone. That’s harsh truth of life, you came alone to this world and you will go alone !! While walking alone if you find somebody cherish , value and if you don’t, walk alone on the path of life,  you can become somebody’s shoulder and ears.

    Life is to cherish what you have and not run behind or nag or whine for the things which you don’t have. Live for the moment who knows tomorrow you might not have those which you didn’t cherish or value.Smile and spread happiness around yourself.

    So here’s again cheers to life !!

    My healthy take on Bengali desert called Pati Shapta ( it’s kind of crepe stuffed with Mawa or coconut)

    Recipe :-

    Curdle the milk with Plain yogurt or vinegar or Lemon.

    Mix 1.5 cups of all purpose flour with non fat milk and fennel seeds. The consistency should be like crepe mixture.

    Slice Handful of Grapes and strawberries

    Strain the Chenna (curdle milk , remove the water and you will get a milk cheese ) Mix that with sliced fruits.

    Use a non stick pan , pour a drop of ghee (clarified butter) and pour the flour mixture. Let it cook for sometime and then stuff with the milk cheese and fruits mixture . Fold and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes.

    Once it’s cooked , pour the sugar syrup (I made the sugar syrup with brown sugar). Let it soak in the syrup and then indulge yourself. I was in love this desert  when I made and I literally kissed my hands.I’m sure this will happen to you .

    I just want to thank my friend (Ananda) who took this picture of a Leaf and my mind started to knit the story of a leaf. Sorry for stealing the picture .

    Cheers to Life

    Sorry my friends for taking so long. Howz life?

    Hmm ! Celebrated my 40th Birthday. Phew!! Am I sad  naah , I heard or rather read that life actually starts when you turn 40 . So, what’s Life? Life is beautiful , it  teaches you a lot. What did I learn in these 40 years or did I really learn?  That’s a big question,  do we actually learn???

    Okay,  so here it goes my lectures about life . You know I cherish my childhood  so does everyone . I remember each and every moment. Starting from first time cooking to first crush . Which phase of life I like or you like , I’m sure each one of us  have our own  favorite phase.  You know , I have realized as you grow old you meet people who are more complicated or rather you start thinking in a complicated way or you think too much loose your spontaneity .

    Sometime or rather most of the time reality is harsh , but you know I always try to find some positive value  from all the negative  that happens in life and I never loose hope. Let me share a incident that happened toady at my workplace. I went to the ladies room  and there was this lady who was sobbing terribly and I thought for a moment I should wait for her in case she needs anything or you know I wanted to be by  her side but then I looked at others , they seemed not to care or may be they cared but they didn’t wanted to show  or may be I thought if I wait for her I might be  intruding her personal space . I  followed others  and  did not wait for her . Then I grabbed my coffee and I kept on  thinking about that lady and believe me I hated myself that why didn’t I wait for her. Why didn’t I follow my heart. Then I went back  to check and that lady had left the ladies room. I felt really sad for her and for my behavior . That’s when  I realized how complicated  I have become , I think too much , don’t have guts to listen to my heart and I hated myself.  Had this situation been  years back I know what I would have done , would have just knocked the door and asked her “are you doing okay , do you need anything ?” , Wouldn’t have thought that I’m capturing her personal space.  So what have I learnt, always follow your heart , your instincts , don’t follow others when you know they are not correct.

    You know when you are a kid  you are a free bird ,  you are that innocent , for you black is black as we grow older we try to mix colors. I’m a open book anybody can tell what’s going on in my heart but trying hard or rather learning to maintain faces why , that’s what I have seen people doing  but realized not my cup of tea and yes if you are true to yourself or do not pretend people will love you for what you are . No human being is bad or good its our choices we make  in life that makes us bad or good , its our thinking that makes us modern or orthodox not money /education or cloths you wear . It’s us what makes us .  I read a quote in social media that you should talk to yourself  everyday  otherwise you miss out on a best friend and that’s so  true isn’t it !

    You must be thinking what happened to me , my promise was to take you to dreamy world and not show the reality or rather not give lectures what to do  and what not to do. In reality I’m pretending to act as 40 year old woman (ha ha)  but alas I know I cannot pretend , I cannot grow up , I’ll  go back  again to my dreamy world and will take you my  friends  to the world which is not complicated  and you can dream about anything like flying your car or anything  . Till then cheers to life , stay healthy , keep smiling , make others happy that  will make you happy and do not pretend.

    Oh yes my healthy take on the Sweetened Coconut balls (Nariyal laddoo). This is so delicious anybody can eat and its very healthy . You won’t feel guilty , I promise.

    Here are the steps :-

    1. Chop dried Apricots
      1. Benefit :- Rich source of Dietary fiber and Iron

    Apricot

    2. Roast desiccated coconut :

    Benefits :- Its unique combination of fatty acids can have profound positive effects                on health. This includes fat loss, better brain function .

    Coconut

     

    3. Now mix roasted coconut , chopped apricots with 2 tablespoon of condensed milk. Over here condensed milk acts as a binding agent.

    Condensed Milk

    Mixture

    4. Now wet your palm and make round balls from the mixtures . If you want to be more creative , insert lollipop sticks in each coconut balls . Refrigerate them till the balls are hardened.

    Coconut laddoo lollipop

    5. Now melt Dark Chocolate  and dip the hardened balls in the melted dark chocolate and sprinkle some sprinklers. Chill and serve.

    Chocolate covered Apricot coconut balls.

     

    Believe me its worth trying .

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Snowy Thoughts

    ~ stargazersmemoir ~ Leave a comment

    Happy New Year to all my blog friends!!  I know, I know I’m late this time, penning down my thoughts. You know why, because I have been trying to paint my thoughts on canvas and every time I try  I fail! Lol! So, one dream that  I’m a Celebrity Painter is shattered. In dreams also I can’t imagine myself as a painter, I’m such an awful painter (ha- ha). Kudos to all the painter/artist who paints their thoughts and makes the walls of the house/palace/mansion/museum/social networking site beautiful and colorful.

    So we had a snow storm and my gosh every time it snows I feel that nature has painted the surroundings so beautiful.  Everywhere it’s white like cotton and I love anything in white. It looks so pure and innocent.

    So I was driving back home and on my way I just glanced at the frozen lake and there were trees surrounding the lake , the trees looked beautiful. Each branch was covered with snow ,as if somebody took so much care to sketch the branches in white. I thank all mighty to provide such a beautiful planet “Earth” which has given and will give so much. The season changes and your life, mood changes too. Everyone, let’s try to save our planet!!

    Look at this , Beautiful

    Beautiful sketch by Nature

    So coming back to my imagination or you can say my dream, btw I dream 24/7 (ha ha). I was thinking that if I had a house boat and on one evening I’m just sitting  and relaxing on the deck facing the frozen  lake , sun rays makes the lake  shimmer like silver and in the middle of the lake there is a bonfire and the fire provides the bright red and yellow reflection . Imagine the mix of color silver, bright red and yellow. Wow how romantic! Isn’t it? Just imagine you are gazing at this beautiful view with a nice instrumental  in the background and don’t forget munching on a finger licking food with a sip of wine or cocktail. Aha, i’m just screaming with excitement and wish this dream I could make it real.

    So I thought of doing some research on the house boat  not that I would like to own one but definitely would want to spend one special evening all by myself and later on entertain friends and family. Sometime you really want me time and who wouldn’t want “me” time like this in a luxurious way. Yeah !!  that’s the expression I have right now, while penning down my imagination(ha ha).

    Here are some spectacular house boat .

    Now I am all rejuvenated by the dream I just lived  and its time to entertain my friends with one finger licking starter which I imagined myself gulping  while sitting on the deck facing the beautiful view.

    So my finger food is Bacon Wrapped Thai Shrimp and my background music which I always listen .

     https://youtu.be/SwK0GrLRcY4 

    Here are the steps  for the receipe:-

    • Marinate the shrimp with Thai Red Curry Paste , roasted cumin powder, chopped coriander leaves,  lime juice and salt to taste.
    • Refrigerate the marinated shrimp for 30 minutes.

    Marinated Shrimp

    • Now place the bacon and cut the scallions lengthwise.
    • Flatten the scallion and place it on bacon.
    • Now its time to place the marinated shrimp , shredded cheese.
    • Preheat oven to 350 f  and grill the bacon wrapped shrimp for 30 – 35 minutes.

    Bacon and Scallion

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Bacon Wrapped Shrimp is all set !!

    • All set to gulp in. Ginger infused Mojito accompanied the dish .

      Bacon Wrapped Thai Shrimp for you!!

    For all my artist , here is the imagination which I wanted to brush , a female sitting on a chair on the deck facing frozen lake surrounded by snow covered trees , where her toes are more prominent  in the picture . There is a small antique end table which  has empty glass with a bottle of wine. In the middle of lake there is a bonfire which is half immersed  in the frozen lake . Frozen lake reflects the rays of sun and fire. Whoever can paint this imagination i’ll be so delighted and would love you to post that painting here.

    See you soon !!
