Aicha - One who lives!!!

First of all, Happy Women's Day to all of you!
Today, I'm going to introduce you guys to a beautiful & delicate song called "Aicha"(pronounced as 'Aisha'). 'Aicha' is an Arabian name which means "She who lives", apt it is!! Yes, it is all about women today.
Some may like regional songs(like hindi, tamil...etc) and some may prefer international songs(pop, country...etc) & here, this one is a fabulous mix of its own culture(which is Danish) & it also blends in an appeal of internationalism to the song. This song was a brainchild of a band called Outlandish, which enjoyed a very good success in the Western countries in 2003. Somehow, it missed the Indian subcontinent. Hence I'm here to do the honor of bringing this song back in & introducing this song to you guys on a remarkable day. What better day can I talk about women than "International Women's day", right?

Do not worry, this is not about a guy singing about his lover or girl friend, this song is about a guy praising the women community as a whole. You can relate the lyrics to your mom, sister, daughter, friend, girl friend or some girl who made or making a difference in your life. Yes, you heard it right - the lyric fits every girl in the world! And that is what makes this song so special.
.
Watch this 4 minutes video,  you will not regret it - I swear!!!



I especially like the following lyrics in the song,
"She holds her child to her heart
Makes her feel like she is blessed from above
Falls asleep underneath her sweet tears
Her lullaby fades away with his fears"

I would dedicate this song to all the women in the world & also to the guys who treat their women as equals!
Leave a comment if you would like to dedicate this song to somebody of your choice!!

Simple Palak Dal (Spinach Dal Recipe)

Palak Dal is one of the simplest of recipes, at the same time very rich and healthy too. It works very well with both rice and roti. It is a welcome change to the mundane Dal Fry for sure. Not many add tomatoes to this Dal, but I did - because I like the mild sourness it brings to the Dal. Ingredients : 1)Toor Dal - 1/2 cup 2)Spinach - 1 bunch(chopped, I used the stem as well) 3)Green Chilli - 1(slit) 4)Small Onions or shallots - 4(chopped or slit or whole) 5)Tomato - 1(small, chopped) 6)Whole Red chilli - 2 7)Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp 8)Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp 9)Asafetida - 1 pinch 10)Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp 11)Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp(optional) 12)Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp 13)Oil - 1 tsp 14)Ghee - 1/2 tsp Preparation : 1)Soak Toor Dal for 30 minutes in water. 2)In a pressure cooker, add soaked toor dal with enough water, turmeric powder, asafetida, salt, slit green chilli, shallots and tomatoes. Cook for 4 whistles. 3)Heat oil in a frying pan, add cumin, mustard seeds and...

RIP 'Google Reader' and what next?

We all know ' Google Reader ' would shut it's service down on the 1st of July this year. If you are not aware, then try logging into Reader, you get a popup reminder like the one shown in the picture below. There are so many people, who logs into Reader as the first thing in the morning than logging into their own blogs, for them this shut down means letting go of a helping hand. And the worst thing is, there are umpteen number of alternatives available in the market for free, so which one to choose? To be honest with you, there are pluses and minuses in each and every product. But there are 2 Reader alternatives which come close to Google Reader and that is Feedly and Digg ! I'm somehow inclined to try  Feedly , so here I have jotted down some basic information to get started. If you already are using some other alternative, good for you! - You don't have to read further, coz this post is only about Feedly! Ok, So why do you think Google is shutting down the Reade...

What NOT to do with Social Media!

“What happens in 'Vegas' stays in 'Vegas'; what happens on 'Twitter' stays on 'Google' forever!” -  Jure Klepic Ever heard this quote before? Although, the quote is sarcastic, isn't it scary? For the past one week, we have been hearing news about NSA( National Security Agency ), PRISM( A Govt. program, where corporates are supposed to provide user's data shared in social media and call records to Govt. ) & several other Govt. agencies gathering personal data out of social media et al. Here comes the question: Why do NSA or Govt. spy on our personal information? What do they achieve, by doing this? A brief overview -> According to me, Govt. and the National Security agencies have always spied on the shared information available online. Only now, we are getting to know that our data is being monitored, thanks to a Whistle Blower named " Edward Snowden ". Why is this freaking people out?  Mainly because of over-sharing of personal ...
