The Courage to say "I am sorry"!

"You may be sorry that you spoke, sorry you stayed or went, sorry you won or lost, sorry so much was spent. But as you go through life, you’ll find – you’re never sorry, you were kind."

“It‘s your fault!”, “What did I do?”, “I deserve an apology!” Sound familiar? These are the typical exchange of words we experience in a heated argument with someone. What happens next?! Both are hurt and both are too stubborn to say sorry!

Saying I’m sorry is not an area of my expertise. But now, I managed to become a better person by humbly apologizing to a loved one that I did hurt. You see sometimes, we hardly realize the importance of swallowing our pride to tell our loved ones how sorry we are for hurting them. I guess we don’t really intend to appear rude or uncaring, it’s just that sometimes it is difficult to utter those three important words because we‘re not used to saying it.

For people, maybe learning how to apologize in small mistakes will help us build more courage to recognize our shortcomings. We should probably start small and try our best to work our way up. Maybe practicing and saying it more often will help us mold it as a form of habit. If it becomes a habit, it will be a lot easier to acknowledge our own faults.

I think it is necessary to cultivate in our minds that we need to pay more attention towards the feelings of others. Having loved ones and being in a relationship comes in the form of a package with misunderstandings and arguments. So for us to maintain a healthy and harmonious relationship with the , we should be willing to say “I’m sorry.”

"You can say sorry in over 1000 ways. Only when it comes from the heart,does it matter."

IDEA's & sixth sense technology!

In the most narrow sense, an idea is just whatever is before the mind when one thinks. Very often, ideas are construed as representationalimages; i.e. images of some object. In other contexts, ideas are taken to be concepts, although abstract concepts do not necessarily appear as images.[1] Many philosophers consider ideas to be a fundamental ontological category of being.

The capacity to create and understand the meaning of ideas is considered to be an essential and defining feature of human beings.

In a popular sense, an idea arises in a reflex, spontaneous manner, even without thinking or serious reflection, for example, when we talk about the idea of a person or a place.


The below video leads the potential of the sixth sense technology!

Indian cooking : Gulab jamons

Gulab jamons

Gulab jamons have been a kind of weakness from childhood. Floods of saliva flushes the food pipe whenever I think of the beautiful Gulab jamons. They are of different taste at different time period. It tastes more appealing when it is hot but it is more soothening when it is soaked well in the sugar syrup and ate after it.
Now I will illustrate the method of making Gulab jamons.

2 Stage preparation.
stage 1. Syrup preparation
stage 2. Jamoom preparation

Recipe ingredients:
• For syrup:
o 8 oz (225g) granulated sugar
o 6 green cardamoms
o 4 cups water

• For Jamons:
o 6 tablespoons full fat milk powder
o 2 tablespoons self-raising flour
o 1 tablespoon melted butter
o A little cold milk to bind
o Oil for deep frying

Recipe method:
• Put the sugar, cardamoms, and water into a pot and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer the syrup for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile sift the milk powder and flour into a bowl. Add the melted butter and rub into mixture with fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
• Add the milk a little at a time, drawing in the mixture to form a soft dough.
• Put the oil on to heat and divide the dough into 16 parts. Roll each one out in the palms of your hands into a little ball.
• The syrup should be ready by now. Take it off the heat so that it may cool slightly before having the jamons out into it.
• Test the oil by putting in one ball of dough. The oil must only just be hot enough to make the dough rise to the surface after a few seconds and to fry it very gently. Adjust as necessary.
• When the oil is at the right heat, put in as many balls of dough as your pan or karahi will easily take.
• Move the pan about carefully to keep the jamons moving until they rise to the surface of the oil.
• When they are at the surface keep moving them about with a slotted spoon to ensure that they cook evenly.
• The jamons will almost double in size as they are cooking and will turn a deep, golden brown colour. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
• Drain on kitchen paper, allowing to cool for five minutes and drop them into the syrup.
• The jamons will be very soft and easily broken until they have cooled, when the texture will become firmer.
• Serve with a few tablespoons of the syrup for each person.

Now enjoy the jamoon! slurp!
