life is a buffet...

Last week we were celebrating mom's birthday and went to the Taj lunch buffet..
our family is a family is a family of foodies..and i am quite proud of my eating skills..
a good buffet spread is the ultimate treat..
soo
We reached Taj at 2;30 and as we took our place we were informed that the buffet is going to be for only another 30 min!!!! only till 3 pm !!
I went into panic nood..
sooo much food so lil time..
prawn cocktail,oyesters,crab meat on cucumber,10 types of cheese,20 types of cold meat..dimsums ,momos,mutton ribs,roast chicken,pizza,pasta,soup..
and another assorted table of main coarse which i never had time to see..
then there was the main attraction ..the dessert table..30 ,no kidding..30 or so types of cakes,mousse,scones..!!!
but so little time..
i went on the attack and kept filling plate after plate of food ...
fill fill fill..run keep..
what happened in the end was that i was too nervous to enjoy the buffet and had not done justice to all that i had taken..


my brothers opinion:this just proves that u cant work under pressure,he said smuggly.
my dad was deeply involved in getting the food on video,and thoroughly enjpying the freely flowing champagne..his advice-have a glass of wine..
mom very wisely told me-bui enjoy what u have already taken,just because there is soo much variety of food does not mean that u r expected to have all of it..a buffet offers u a wide variety,but u have to pick and choose..and enjoy yourself.


Later as i sat and analysed the lunch[i analyse everything in life] i thought:
life is a buffet ..with a much wider variety than even the taj buffet,the idea is not to be bogged down by it all
so many different proffesions,so many college courses,so many suitors,so many movies,so much studies..and this just the starters..i haven't even reached the main course..
and there is so little time...
life is all about the choices u make..
the choices u make ,will be important..
but the most important thing is to...
ENJOY EVERY MINUTE IF THIS BUFFET CALLED LIFE.

5 Korean phrases every K drama fan should know

5 Korean phrases every K drama fan should know ./  5 k drama phrases which add drama in a Korean drama. Korean dramas or K-dramas are filled with sweet predictable clichés , scenes that are repeated in almost every other drama, because they never seize to bring on the drama feels. Are you a k drama fan? Have you noticed how some scenes and some phrases get repeated in so many dramas? Here are a few of my favourite Hangul phrases which help heighten the drama in a Kdrama. Orae-man-iyo / Orae- mani- dae This phrase means ; it’s been a long time. The first version Orae mani iyo is the more formal way of saying it.it is one of my favourite phrases, a fabulous drama building phrase, it could be used when two arch enemies meet after a long time , one grew up to be a sleazy lawyer, the other an upstanding prosecutor. Or two high school sweethearts with a heartbreaking breakup meet in their adult life. It is a phrase filled with emotions; be it a veiled threat , a sense of l

Sharing my gifts , my life : Birthday retrospect 2021

  Happy 37 Birthday to me ! And for my readers of my annual birthday retrospect, this will be my 13 th year of writing a birthday blog. Wow, what a commitment. So, what was the one amazing thing I did this year ? I decided, just one fine day – to share . I started by sharing my food. It was the first time that we were not going home for Durga Pujo, we were in 2020 and the world was in Lockdown, I missed Pujo bhog, and I missedthe general excitement and enthusiasm around Durga pujo. I wanted to call a few friends over and serve them a typical Bengali meal, but we could not call people home- we were deep in N95 masks , and social distancing was in place. I decided to pack little meal boxes for my friends, and then decided I wanted to share the food with the everyone, and so decided to do a Bengali Pujo POP-UP . I ordered Gobindobhog rice, and kasundi and we made an elaborate menu with Rosogulla , deemer devil, and a non veg menu and a typical pujo bhog menu with khichuri, labda ,
