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!!

Onion and Tomato Chutney

If you are one of those, who is bored of the regular coconut chutney day-in-day-out, then this chutney will be a life saver. It is a good mix of onion, tomato and coconut sauteed with spices and ground to perfection. This goes very well with Idli, Dosa and also as a side to Curd Rice. I have seen people mix this chutney directly with plain rice and have them(something like a pachadi), so it kinda works that way too!! Ingredients : 1)Onion - 1(chopped) 2)Tomato - 2(chopped) 3)Green Chillies - 3(slit) 4)Grated Coconut - 4 tsp 5)Garlic - 3 pods(crushed) 6)Oil - 1 tsp 7)Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp 8)Whole Red Chilli - 1 9)Urad Dal - 1 tsp 10)Asafetida - a pinch 11)Turmeric Powder - a pinch 12)Salt - to taste 13)Coriander leaves - 5 sprigs Preparation : 1)Heat oil in a pan and add asafetida, cumin seeds, whole red chilli and urad dal. Let it splutter. 2)Add garlic and slit green chilli, saute for couple of seconds. 3)Add onion and salt, saute until they turn translucent. 4)Add chopped tomatoes, tur...
