A perfect salad dressing makes you hungry!!
A salad dressing is like a rainbow in the sky, once given a proper blend, it acts magic to the taste. Mouthwatering dressings are available today. What is a salad dressing? A sauce that is typically combined with oil and vinegar, that enhances taste to a salad is called a Salad Dressing. In olden time’s salad dressing were made from scratch at homes, as nothing was available in the markets. Salads are generally served cold and may contain cheese, vegetables, fruits, chicken, nuts etc.
A variety of dressings are obtainable in markets today. But day by day people are blotting and hence more health conscious as these dressing contain 139gm fats which is not good for human body. Following this, subway has starting consuming fat free sauces, but consumers are ignorant on how true it is.
One can easily happen to find your own salad dressing with a few natural ingredients, such as olive oil, Lemon juice, Lime juice, oil extracted from pumpkin seed, honey mustard etc. You can whip up the dressing of your choice considering the calories. Low carb dressing also includes, red wine vinegar makes an essentially carb-free, all-purpose dressing when blended with olive oil, salt, black pepper and chopped shallots.
Different types of Mayonnaise are available today. Mayonnaise with no added sugar can be considered fat free.
But a salad dressing has to be such that one should feel like sticking finger in the mouth. A dressing enhances the taste of the vegetables. The real taste is in the dressings that are full of fats.
Oil-based bottled dressings are often low in carbs, especially if they contain no added sugar or starch-based thickeners. A salad is the only dish that can be served at any point of the meal.
A friend online may be your best friend
I was travelling one day, when to girls happened to sit beside me. I overheard the conversation saying that, “We can date so many online simultaneously, who knows I date many boys simultaneously.” I felt a deep sense a rejection — not personally, but on behalf of the person that girl was engaged to. Instead of interacting with a person who was officially hers, she chose to search for a companion elsewhere online.
I wondered to myself, is this what online dating has done to us? Is it creating a new reality in which people actively avoid real-life interactions? Talking to strangers and meeting them is far more risky than meeting the people who you know personally.
Now a day, technology has advanced so much that with the help of mobile apps and online dating websites; it has given people access to more potential partners than they could meet at work or in their surroundings. Everything has its own pros and cons.
Online dating is referred to as modern romance as it makes it easier for someone to judge a person in detail and whatever she/he wants in specific. It also helps the people who use the apps by allowing them to enjoy a pattern of regular hookups that don’t have to lead to relationships. Some online relationships have latest for life, no doubt. But I personally feel online dating is far more risky as the person who you chat with is not live or maybe the person has created a fake account does to while away his time.
In reality, people have a hard time in finding the partner of their choice in reality, day to day. A male and female protagonist may tend to be united till the end is the meet online.
Sawai Gandharwa Mohotsav on the rocks!!!!!
Musical events and concerts rejuvenate one’s mind. A music lover should indulge himself in such concerts to become more acquainted about the subject. Gathering more knowledge about a topic of your interest is surely not a wasted time.

Events are held in every corner of the world daily. But grabbing an opportunity that knocks your door is a great pride.

Music and Art – A harmonious relationship!!!
Music is an art of expressing ones feelings. Adjusting a piece to the perfect rhythm, variation in the tempo makes one get the feel of the music. Listening to a piece of music sometimes gives a good mood and refreshes one from fatigue. Similarly, a painters stroke makes it feel the same. When an artist draws, his every stroke is detailed and accurate. Talking about accuracy, music and painting both need to be given a good finishing all together so that the entire picture is depicted before you through its strokes, which makes you sway resembling the waves in the ocean.
I was just sitting one day and thought what if music and painting be interrelated? What a thought. A stroke on a paper and a chord on instrument say it all. When a rhythm of music sets into your mind, you immediately start swaying to the rhythm of music. Similarly, when music is played, the brushes of the painter automatically tango with the canvas. Rhythm in music is something you can tap your feet to. It tells you how to rock with the music. Rhythm affects art in a similar manner. If an artist uses rhythm correctly, he or she is capable of making your eyes move around every corner of the paper within seconds. It is how the artist wants you to see his/her work.
Sometimes rhythm and the piece are difficult to be understood by a common man who has no knowledge about music, similarly a stroke of a painter fails a normal man to understand what he wants to reveal. The musical notes increase in frequency at a predetermined ratio and so do colour. Moreover, music and art have many things in common such as the pattern, rhythm, balance and emphasis. As each tone has a certain weight which gives a song its overall balance, correspondingly same principle is applied by artists to add structure and balance the painting.
In a palette, the artist mixes the colours and comes up with a unique colour, likewise, the musician combines different notes and composes his own music. As the process proceeds, painting and music do converge as construction becomes more mysterious, if it does not fade away altogether.
Music and painting have many things in common such as pattern, colour, shape and form, but the way of expressing the emotion varies in language.
PM breaks the grip on corruption and Black money
A lot of beds in Gujarati households are going to seem uncomfortable tonight as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a televised address to the nation on Tuesday, Nov 8 2016, that the legal tender character of the notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denomination notes stands withdrawn from midnight. The old high denomination (OHD) notes can be exchanged for value at any of the 19 offices of the Reserve Bank of India or at any of the bank branches or at any Head Post Office or Sub-Post Office.
Why is this scheme?
This scheme has been introduced because of the increase in the fake currency notes in higher denomination. This has increased the usage of fake notes in antinational and illegal activities such as these notes have been misused by terrorists and for hoarding black money. India being cash based economy; Fake India Currency Notes continues to be a menace. Introduction to such schemes may control the raising incidents of fake money.
This huge step is taken like a surgical strike on Black money, to curb circulation of counterfeit notes and also fight the black money which has rapidly snapped the country’s economy.
Notes Legal and Illegal:
The RBI has intimated that it is withdrawing currency notes that are issued prior to 2005, to ensure that the notes in circulation are of similar design. All notes where the year has not been mentioned have to be exchanged. The notes issued prior to 2005 are considered to be illegal. These notes can be identified easily as these notes do not have the year of printing mentioned on them. These notes have to be exchanged in the banks till December 30, 2016. For example: If a Rs 500 note mentions the year 2013 is considered as legal. But the note does not mention the year or if it is printed 2004 is considered as a mere piece of paper.

My trip to New York
A chilly evening at New York made me numb. There was a cold breeze blowing over me, I was shaking, my jaw was clattering, I count not face the breeze. Not used to such weather, with goose bumps all over my body. Once we reached home, I felt better.
Thought this country is quite easy to go, but realized I was wrong. I visited the Times square, where I found everyone in the streets was walking at a brisk pace that indicated a rush to be somewhere. I was beginning to discover the place.
In my little town, a bike, a car, or even walking was perfectly suitable for getting around the town, but in this foreign land, there were various ways for one to get to another destination.
Everywhere I looked, there were people hailing taxis, waiting on buses, rushing underground to the subway stations, walking frantically, or desperately trying to maneuver their own cars through the busy streets. Just standing and watching the people rushing their own separate ways seemed to be the most interesting observation.
A broken chain lies at her feet, Liberty Enlightening the World. The statue is an icon of freedom and of the United States, and was a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad. This gift was given to America by France in 1886. The Statue of Liberty was herself an immigrant.
Pretty excited to see the statue of liberty and Ellis Island. Sailing in the beautiful ocean with clear sky blue water was fascinating, that reached us there. Powered by the walkie-talkies, the secrets of liberty statue began to unravel.
After a long commute and cold, I happened to feel hungry. I was longing to have some yummy vegetarian food. My mouth sealed, unless I found something in Vegan. Finding vegetarian meal is as heard as finding oasis in the desert. Finally on my way, I could smell some mouth watering delicious delicacy that made be barge onto. Fortunately, it happened to be a vegetarian burger, loaded with cheese and salad. Having no other option, had to survive on that. A thought came up my mind, something is better than nothing.
Last but not the least, it was so fun and enjoyed the weather there. So next time, I want you to visit New York. I am sure you will love it and enjoy the beauty, culture there.
A true friend
Friends are like flowers in the garden of life. But having a friend like you is my luck. A bubbly, sweet, cute, intelligent, active girl came to my life 5 years ago.
Looking at a girl with sparkling eyes and a charming smile makes my day. Your intelligence has to be honored. You have always been my motivation and an excellent guide. You have been with me and been there for me ever since I met you. We have signed a life time contract that we will never go apart. You have uniqueness that I find fascinating and for that you will be cherished and always loved.
I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in life, I look up to you, respect you and truly cherish you. You are special to me and have made a difference in my life.
Hand in hand… Love is sent
We will be besties till the end!!!
