Happy Independence Day

India is celebrating 66th Independence Day.
Wishing all my friends and readers Happy Independence Day!

On this occasion I salute all those great men and women of India who cherished,dreamed, visualized and dared to act!
I salute all those who were the first to lead the movement and all those who followed their lead.
I salute the father who inspired his sons and daughters to follow his footsteps of sacrifice and courage.
I salute the mother who cheerfully sacrificed sons and daughters knowing very well that she will have to spent the rest of her life in misery and loneliness.
I salute those who left lucrative post,titles and kingdoms and all those men and women who gave their daily wages knowing well that their kids will have to remain hungry.
I salute all those men who marched peacefully with leaders in large groups during the day time but many times had to spent painful nights suffering and lonely in prisons.Their agony was unknown, their wounds unattended,their stories were never written down, but they still dared to dream,not for themselves but for the millions of their future generation.

All their cherished dreams and visions became a reality on 15 August 1947 or at least let's say that their dream for a free India became a reality.

Happy Independence Day!

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa December has finally arrived and it means it is almost Christmas time! How many of you look forward to the Season of Joy! My birthday also comes in December, so it is a double celebration for me :) How is the Christmas planning coming along for everyone?

This is the first one I wanted to share with all of you -Kerala style sweet delicacy- a real nostalgia, the Black Halwa. Halwas has always amazed me with its simplicity, unique texture and taste. It is a gel-like sweet candy that you can never stop eating. When making halwa there is a time-honored cooking technique and halwa making is time-consuming. So people simply prefer to buy it from the shop. But making your own is a rewarding experience. Now many of the traditional sweets are forgotten or get overlooked for fancier ones in bakeries. But that is not the case w...
