Jaya, I agree with you completely! It&#39;s hard for us here than people usually think and I appreciate your long comment and for sharing with me. Most of us feel isolated here without family nearby to support us and yeah, even I think hard about what should I take to 6yr old nephew too, they have everything in India including Levi jeans now! :)<br /><br />Miri, I felt that too that film is a bit

Caricatures are just that - an exaggeration of some qualities and a generalization! And I didn&#39;t even realize that Kareena&#39;s fiance was an NRI in the movie??<br />Anyway, the movie was fine till the first half - then it became all preachy and sentimental and over the top!<br /><br />I fast on Shivratri - the only day in the year that I do, and that too no religious reason as such...<br />

A very beautiful post dear, samosa chat, I never thought of eating it like that!!, Loved those small samosas which I always boought in Adayar Anada Bhavan, in Gandhi Bazar circle!!, My favourite is Okra &amp; bitter Gourd Gojju, keep making it all the time, should I say I love all Gojjus, Dall Rasam looks Gorgeous!!, and of coourse shiva ratri Thali is great too, it is quite some time I made

Ooooof your posts always make me hungry. lunch time is not a good time to come. The samosa chaat looks yum. Naven&#39;t bought these in a long time now. I am thinking of entertaining.. now. nice, easy way with the ready made mini ones.<br /><br />Never made karela this way. That thali is so beautifully done!

Everything looks fantastic Asha ! I especially loved the sound of that okra gojju, definitely something I want to try soon. The rasam soup looks perfect, thanks for sharing it with the Healthy Inspirations event and amazing that you were able to make it entirely in the m/w. I love the idea of using the m/w to make rasam :-)

Your Shivrathri thali spread looks so tempting, that despite a heavy full stomach I am feeling hungry! Love the somosa chole chat. Thanks for sharing the recipe for Obbattu. I LOVE kai obbattu, but owing to so much work I have never tried it. This one seems simpler. I&#39;ll try your recipe sometime and let you know how it was. The review on the movies was good part to read. I too found some

I guess its hard to find ppl fasting on shivarathri these days, in fact most of us end up over indulging. I want to try bendekayin gojju from your menu this week.
