Lakshmi’s Delight!

Come October and the festive season here in India uplifts your mood at any point of time, no matter in what doldrums you are lost.

With the Durga Puja and Navaratri having got over recently, I was back to the grind with my regular office work. The possibility of venturing out of my house for shopping was a distant dream. Before our guests could stream in and before Lakshmi Puja, I had to make some household purchases like kitchen accessories that would make the ladies of my house, my mother and my wife, happy.

So I hit upon an ingenious brainwave, where after work I would go online and search for some microwave safe bowls. We did recently buy an induction cooker online recently and also some microwave utensils as well.

Besides, I have had this habit of getting things done on a priority basis. So since Lakshmi Puja was knocking at the door, I thought of surprising my Mom and my wife Lakshmi with some brilliant akhand diyas that were available. I could very well imagine how brilliantly they would light up every corner of our house.

Apart from buying dinnerware online and buying microwavable cookware, there was a variety of choices that were available to me. In fact, I did buy some drinking glasses online as well as I would be throwing parties subsequently.

All said and done, when the gifts arrived at my doorstep, the expression on my mother’s and lakshmi’s faces were priceless. I did pat myself on the back for being able to juggle all this in spite of my busy schedule and see my delighted wife so happy!

 

The Online Festival Fiesta

With the festive season knocking at the door, the ‘dhak’ can be heard beating at a distance and one can imagine the ‘Dhakis’ swaying in a joyous mood. Whether it is Durga Puja, Navaratri or Dusshera, India comes alive in a different flavor at this time of the year.

No festival is complete without the vast array of delicious cuisines that spice up the festive mood ever more. In recent times, online shopping, especially pertaining to kitchen accessories, bears ample testimony to that as it has been on the rise.

Of course, the festive mood brings together people, where they gather, celebrate, sing, dance and have a hearty time. It’s a time of indulgence, people not only venture out of their houses but also invite loved ones home, prepare good food and rejoice. All this is reflected when people buy induction cooker online or drinking glasses online as well.

Online shopping has broadened not only the scope of finding kitchen accessories easily but also made it convenient for the consumers with doorstep delivery. Whether it is an induction cooker or microwave oven cookware, name it and you have got it.

Moreover, for the visual delight and a purified ambience, when people buy akhand diyas, the sanctity of the place is enhanced by leaps and bounds.

Come October and the online shopping scene has become as illustrious as any of the Indian Festivals  themselves – the very reason which beckons it!

The Harbinger of a joyous Festival Galore

Little did I wonder when I walked in home yesterday, that I would be in for a big surprise.

In India, pujas and ceremony occupy a big part of the lives of people.  Moreover as we have been speeding towards October and the festive season, the mood already seems to have set in. Besides it is the first year of our marriage. Surely, your lady’s touch can transform your house into a home and that is what got more pronounced yesterday when I walked in home.

Tired from work, it was about seven in the evening when I returned home. The house was brightly illuminated and she greeted me with a warm hug.  Yes, it happened to be my birthday as well.

Moreover, once I settled in afresh, the Puja rooms glowed with akhand diyas. There were some brilliant tea–lights around the corners of the living room. Besides, I was famished by then, and when I happened to look at the dining table she had laid out, I was caught in rapt attention.  There were these fabulous microwave bowls and microwave safe bowls.  I wondered when she had the time to pick them up. Very smartly she teased me and eventually said that “anyone can buy kitchen accessories online these days!” Apart from microwave utensils online shopping, she also did buy an induction cooker online.

Having browsed through a number of sites, I saw that she had been really pragmatic in zeroing in for the best. Not that it was really heavy on my wallet, but her gesture , deliciously cooked dinner garnished with love and  all the beautiful tea lights made me feel that my birthday was the very reason for the festive seasons to begin! Now, who wouldn’t love that?

Tea-Lights to brighten your Home and your World!

How often do you get to recharge your batteries in an instant? Well, recently, I came across an instance which helped me to  get rejuvenated in no time. This is how the story unfolds.

It had been a hard day at work. I returned home weary, absolutely physically and mentally exhausted from the intense strategic meetings and extensive travelling across places.

 To top it all, my wife and I were supposed to dine with an old friend, Namita at her place and she would in no  way take ‘no’ for an answer. After a quick shower, me and my wife  dashed over to her place. The only thing I had in mind while driving over was to get back home as soon as possible and hit the bed.

We reached her place. From the very moment that we stepped in, there was such a positive vibe about her place which relaxed me  and made feel feel quite comfortable. As we seated ourselves in the living room, I saw that every corner was lit with a beautiful tea-light. For instance, there was a very elegant Leaf Tea-Light in one corner  while there was Golden Lotus Tea Lights in the others.

My wife was all excited. As we entered Namita’s puja room, the fragrance of incense filled the room which was brightly illuminated by the akhand diyas.

The very look and sight of the lights simply brought my senses alive. Generally I don’t get into such affairs but I just had to ask Namita, from where she picked up such exquisite tea- lights.  She laughed and said,  “ Oh ! you can buy tea lights online. Not just that .You can also buy these akhand diyas online!”

The reason I asked was simple. I felt so light, relaxed and felt the burden of the week had been taken off my shoulders!

No wonder that  afterwards and  for the first time, my wife and I agreed on a shopping venture which would brighten our own home and of course our world in the days to come!

Come 15th August and my heart swells with pride. Hailing from a defence background and growing up in an army co-operative has had it’s own charm.My grand father himself was a World war veteran and also fought in the 1971 war. Nevertheless, growing up as a child I remember the food cooked on 15th August at our place always used to be very special I would never miss out on it for anything in the world.

For the past two years I had been posted in Jodhpur. I remember my parents coming down to visit me last year around this time and we had some authentic rajasthani food that was specially dished out at the Umed Bhawan Palace.

This year I have surprised my folks by landing up at my home unexpectedly just yesterday. I am on a two week holiday . Much to my surprise I have seen my mother unpack some exquisite dinnerware and there have also been some real cool additions to the kitchen.

To start with I get to see a brand new induction cooker, a microwave oven cookware along with a classy microwave cookware set. Not that, I would be generally looking at these things where my mother’s cooking is in question, but given the occasion coming up and of course their looks are so captivating, that they do draw my attention.I am already beginning to feel hungry, imagining what delicious home cooked food I will be having after ages.

In fact, something interesting happened. Little did I know that there was more in store for me. My father had refreshed his bar with some classy elegant drinking glasses. “Surprised?”, pat came the obvious voice from behind. It had to be my father and it was. I wondered when and where did he manage to get such exquisite glasses ? I wanted to take some for my home. My father laughed heartily, stating it was all available online. By then, even my mother had chimed in, saying that to buy kitchen accessories online was the easiest way to go shopping. There was such wide variety available that it would leave one wanting for more.

Nevertheless, I still can’t wait for the dishes that my that my mother will be preparing on Independence Day. In the mean time, I see my father, very conveniently taking out two crystal glasses and pouring his favourite scotch – his all time favourite way of raising a toast with his son , especially around Independence Day!

How to have an exotic holiday in your own home!

Ever experienced exotic holidays, staying in the very comfort of your home? Well, that is what I got to learn recently when I visited an old friend.

I had recently returned from a vacation in Goa and Ooty, not even a month. The flora fauna, exquisite natural beauty had left us completely mesmerized. Besides, being a food enthusiast, I enjoyed experimenting the different dishes during my stay. The lavish display of multi-cuisines would wrap us in a heavenly embrace – but then that was Ooty!

Last Friday, I bumped into my childhood friend, Vikram in a shopping mall. I met him after a good long twenty years. He profusely insisted that we meet up for dinner at his place.

On the following Sunday, we were invited for dinner.As we clanked our drinking glasses and raised a toast, we shared hearty moments reliving our childhood days. I noticed that Sunita, his wife was constantly serving us delicious appetizers in classy service dishes. My wife gelled well with her and took a stroll of her kitchen.

It was a simple kitchen with only the required and necessary items. It housed an induction cooker and very classy microwavables.

Surprise of surprises, among the variety of dishes that Sunita had prepared, the caribbean crab salad and crab cakes with mango transported me back in time to Goa. The elegant casseroles, gourmet and dinnerware which adorned the dining table were a visual treat in themselves.

Frankly speaking, the company, the food and ambience was, no doubt enlivened with the choice of elegant dinnerware and created a relaxing evening that was to be treasured.

I loved my extended holiday and now I could relive it anytime in the comfort of my home from this serendipity!

Eid Dinner enhanced with Beautiful MyBorosil Dinnerware!

Well, it had been more than a decade since we met. I remember visiting his house as a kid. We used to play cricket and his Ammi would make delicious Kashmiri Biryani especially for me.

On the auspicious occasion of Eid Mubarak, it was was a delight to see how his relatives embraced each other and greeted warmly. Well, to be honest , I was getting a little bored as I did not not know anyone except Farhan and his parents. More than bored, I should say I was growing impatient for Aunty’s delicious cooking. I remembered how well she would make the Biryani and it made me all the more hungry.

Just then Farhan came to my rescue and lead me to another room where the dinner was served. The very sight of the table laid with beautiful dinnerware , casseroles, mixing bowls arrested my attention at first , even though I had the biryani on my mind. I was amazed at their beauty which literally increased my appetite manifold. Needless to say that as the waft of the ‘Shahi Nawabi Biryani’ tantalized me to no extent, Farhan said that Aunty had prepared it all especially for me.

The Eid special, sheer khurma, tabouli salads, steamed kababs, badami gosht

and more cradled in beautiful bowls and serving dishes left me wondering where to start from. Well, I relished every bit of the dinner leaving not a morsel behind; and when I thought I had finished, Aunty served me the most delicious badam phirni in a beautiful crystal bowl. It was an authentic Eid dinner which I had never had had before. Of course, it had the homely touch which made all the difference along with the beautiful crockery in which they were served.

As guests, kept streaming in, I noticed that Aunty was using her Microwave Oven Cookware which made it so easy for her to manage the food and also attend to the guests at the same time.

As I was singing all praises about the food and Aunty’s excellent taste in the choice of dinnerware, Aunty exclaimed that she had bought all the Kitchen Accessories Online. Farhan was too busy at work and she had found her own way to go about things, she chuckled. In fact , she also said the anyone can even Buy Induction Cooker Online which she had and it was so convenient.

I thanked them for the wonderful evening and it felt great to be an integral part of their family on this occasion.

As I travelled back home in a taxi, my mind was racing with some ideas – to Buy Kitchen Accessories that would be convenient for my mother. I browsed on my smart phone for some excellent kitchen accessories and by the time I reached home I had already ordered some dazzling dinnerware and cookware that would definitely surprise my mother when delivered the next day!
