Some of you are aware of the book that I have been starting to write. For the others, this post shall be your headlines for the day! ;)

Well, here is the update Rachel; I think this one may actually be finished and possibly published. I’m terrible about starting anything and getting sidetracked. Let’s see I’ve got 2 songs drafted out and still in the very early works for an album that I would like to produce and a book of poetry still to be trimmed, a few pictures that I would like to see in a pictorial publisher, a wooden/metal chariot still in the early construction era and the list goes on. Although I work on them all occasionally, I never seem to be getting much farther than I am now. I feel like I’m running down a long hallway, never getting to the end. *Sigh* Oh and not to forget my search for nothing!

Then again as you and I know that though not right calories even exist!!

First Show First DAY!!

Last night I saw This Is It, a movie proving he(Michael Jackson) has no equal; precise, specific, motivated, focused, and kind. I just have one word for the movie: SENSATIONAL!!! Sadly I caught myself from realizing that Michael is really gone but will never be forgotten.

Thank you for many things Michael! Always inspired! RIP. At 50, with passion, grace & precision a genius. The movie also showcases a glimpse of his character & personality as he was playful, comedic, loving, sensitive & humbled at times during production.

Makes one wonder; Alive, Michael Jackson was a problem for a few guys. Dead? He's the best investment in the history of the business. You can almost hear them thinking, "Hey! Why didn't we think of this sooner?"

A MUST MUST SEE!!!

This Is It!

Tamarind fever...

Explore..

Last night, in a fit of boredom with my dissertation reading, I decided I needed to make something.So, I started making the gravy for tamarind rice around 12 am and I finished this morning at 8am. I did go to bed around 2 am, so I really can't say that I stayed up all night making tamarind gravy!!

Since I mentioned; I am going to post my recipe so you can enjoy it too :)

Ingredients :
Water - 2 Cups
Tamarind - 1 1/2 tbl spoon
Sesame seeds - 1/4 Cup
Coriander seeds - 1/4 Cup
Red chillies - 15 Nos
Mustard Seeds - 2 t spoon
Channa dal - 1 t spoon
Urad dal - 1 t spoon
Curry leaves - few
Fenugreek - 2 t spoon
Sesame Oil - 3 tbl spoon
Chilly powder - 1 t spoon
Roasted Peanuts - 1 t spoon
Salt - to taste
a pinch of asafoetida

Method; First soak the tamarind in a cup with warm, then roast the fenugreek, coriander seeds, 4 red chillies, 6 curry leaves, urad dal, channa dal, mustard seeds and sesame seeds and grind it with salt to powder. Then heat the sesame oil in pan, add mustard, channa dal, urad dal, peanuts, red chilies, curry leaves, powder that you had made along with the peanuts and sauté them. Once sauteed add the tamarind, a pinch of asafoetida and salt to taste. Now for the next hour or so you would have to sit right next to the pan and keep stirring it constantly till the tamarind extract reduces its volume and becomes to a thick pulp. Et Voila!! the Tamarind gravy is ready!!

I did not find any canning jars so I recycled a candy jar. I am not trusting it to seal properly so I am storing my tamarind gravy in the refrigerator. Now I need to make some rice to go with it and run to Walmart to get a jar to store my tamarind gravy as it will last me for more than a week!! Now this is called smart cooking ;)

I found these few excerpts from some of the books I currently read to be quite interesting so here, I share a few lines;

From "A Second Chance" by Abhay Charan AKA Srila Prabhupada.

"Till the hour of death the mind sustains and supports these forces in the physical body, and when life becomes extinct, the mind envelopes and carries them away. During sleep, however, the vital forces continue to function, although the mind is not manifest. This is according to the divine law and is intended to protect the body and to remove any possible doubt as to whether it is dead or alive while one is asleep. Without such arrangement by nature, sleeping bodies would often be cremated alive. "

From "The Unknown" by Camille Flammarion. This book talks about Scientific and Practical Interpretation of Dreams.

"To dream at night and the following day have the thing dreamed of actually take place, or come before your notice, is not allegorical. It is the higher or spiritual sense living or grasping the immediate future ahead of the physical mind. The spiritual body is always first to come into contact with the approaching future; it is present with it, while still future to the physical body. There is no reason why man should not grasp coming events earlier, only he does not cultivate inner sight as he does his outer senses. The allegorical is used because man weakens his spiritual force by catering to the material senses."

And finally a musical excerpt from Green Fields;

"Dear Lord, if indeed I am thine,
If thou art my sun and my song,
Say, why do I languish and pine?
And why are my winters so long?
O drive these dark clouds from my sky,
Thy soul cheering presence restore;
Or take me to thee up on high,
Where winter and clouds are no more."

Obama brings Diwali celebrations to the White House!

j
Obama lit a lamp in white house and wished Indian government and Indian people “Happy Diwali and Saal Mubarak”.

“This coming Saturday, Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists, here in America and around the world, will celebrate this holiday by lighting diyas, or lamps, which symbolise the victory of light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance, and while this is a time of rejoicing, it’s also a time for reflection, when we remember those who are less fortunate and renew our commitment to reach out to those in need,”

“Thank you Mr President for being the first president to come to the Diwali ceremony,” a journalist called out to Obama. “Yeah, isn’t that something?”

It's been a while since I have shared a tune with you guys. As soon as these songs hit my memory inbox I just knew I had to share and hope you'll love it as much as I do. Those songs here stand out synth lines becoming emotional signature mixed in with a bit of a breakdown half way through ;) Music just continues to grow and grow... I cant wait to hear more and more.. your thoughts too ;)


Kannirandum imaikkaamal paarthen;
En kannodu kanneerai vidaithaai..


Oh you played me dirty, your game was so bad;
You toyed with my affliction;
Had to fill out my prescription;
Found the remedy, I had to set you free..


Moray piya.
Tu na samjha;
Main iss duniya ka naa thhaa..
Khoya dil khoyi raton mein dhoondhoon main kya..


J'ai dans le cœur comme un poids;
Dans la gorge une épine;
De n'avoir fait le choix..

Here is the content of my email I sent you a while back;

what is Trust? I think it is basically a collection of past/memories which is later justified with benefits in mind to create the feeling we call trust. But when you think about it how accurate is one person's memory? We only remember the best in everything or the worst in everything. All I am saying is - that collection of memories alone should not be the reason when deciding. If only all our wishes came true then there'd be no pain no hurts, no betrayals. But it does not happen…so the best we can do is enjoy the risks don't be afraid to fall. We all start out as strangers after all ..even the darkness can become a friend when you learn enough to see how you can bend it.

I know some things are dark reflection, some things are how we feel, some things deserve inspection, some things are just! I think it is crucial to remember that one cannot know all and everything about someone before hand. Think about it, how well do you know yourself? Your family? Try to see if you can manage to make your way all the way through your house without bumping into anything in pitch dark; silent testimony to how well you know. Never plan the future by the past as this franticness serves as a smoke screen, preventing us from ever dealing with Who We Really Are.. Healing begins within us. It begins with a thought, a vision, a feeling of willingness, willingness to put the past behind when judging.

It's easy to blame time and it is partly to blame. But there's plenty to go around. Blame aside, we are ultimately responsible for the choices that we make. It's a good thing God takes us from where we are. If he waited until we got it right, eternity wouldn't be enough time!! I believe in myself, and also believe in what I do to someone today will one day comeback to me. As always keep smiling :) :)
