31st Dec 2014 :  So it's time to say #Goodbye2014 ! I thank each one who took time to read my monologues, recipes and stuff... This year was truly a roller coaster ride for me. I had set off on a particular journey back in 2007 and this year I can say that I am in the right path. It has been 7 years of struggle to find myself , my true aspirations and dreams. Some strong impacts from some unexpected sources came as some miracle, helping me out in this process. I bless them all who came as angels when in pain and uncertainty .

It goes like this --------( Needless to tell u all that I am not a...

(Being my favorite cuisine, I  have plans to buy Julia Child’s cook book “ Mastering the Art of French Cooking ”) You know,how good movies affect us positively. :-) So, as a result, here I am ,to share with you all, this recipe of ‘ Chicken in butter and cream. ’ I have followed the traditional recipe (courtesy: videojug) in all the ways, except for the measurements of ingredients.This recipe,I found is divine,with rich, creamy sauce with tender juicy boneless chicken.  Recipe demands a lot of butter and cream, so if you are trying this, you have to forget your diet rules for one day.

Breath taking panorama with the divine presence of Buddha .The giant Tian Tan Buddha statue was covered with mist. Lantau Island in Hong Kong is a must visit place for a serene and spiritual experience. This majestic statue symbolizes the stability of Hong Kong, prosperity of China and peace on earth. Below the Big Buddha statue , there is Po Lin monastery main temple. Tian Tan Buddha, a giant Buddha statue completed in 1993, is an extension of the monastery. Vegetarian food is available near the temple. But if you are not a big fan of traditional Cantonese delicacies, it is better to avoid eating out here. Visiting the temple was an intriguing experience . The main temple houses three bronze statues of the Buddha – representing his past, present and future lives – as well as many Buddhist scriptures.
