There are times when I come back from work and wonder “What will I blog about today?” Suddenly I feel I have nothing left to write and panic strikes me. Just the thought of running out of blog contents is one horrifying experience for me.
But usually everything turns out all right when I reach home and read the comments on my current and previous posts (yeah, yeah… I do read my archived po
Palya Bea a francia Naive kiadó gondozásában megjelent lemezéről, melynek címe magyarul körülbelül azt jelenti: búcsú a kötöttségektől, a következőket mondta:"Adieu les complex – énekli Boris Vian egyik dalában. Ez tetszett nekem. Franciául van, de mindenki érti. Egyetemes. Az alkotásnak egyetlen kulcsa van, hogy kidobjuk a „ki mit gondol“ gátjait. Szívből, szabadon,

Come Sunday and this is a regular meal at our house. I have been making this for almost 3 years now and strangely none of us are tired of eating the same old stuff. One week I use Lima Beans and the other week I use Black Eyed Beans. I also make oven baked potato [...]
A nagyon tehetséges, csodálatos hangú és nagyon szimpatikus egyéniségű énekesnő lemezét mindazoknak ajánlom, akik lelkük mélyén meg tudtak őrizni valamit gyermekségükből.Tömörítés/Bitrate: 320 kb/sLetöltés/Download:[ Uploaded Part1 Part2 ][ ShareOnAll Part1 Part2 ]Jelszó/Password: levente
Palya Bea 1976. november 11-én Makón született. Az ELTE néprajz szakán 2002-ben szerzett diplomát. 2002-ben ösztöndíjasként Párizsban, Kakoli Sengupta indiai énekesnél tanult.A 2003-ban megjelent Ágról-ágra című első szólólemezét nála szebben senki nem ajánlhatná:"Ez a lemez egy hajnali imádsággal kezdődik - gyerekkorom első népdala -, és egy altatóval végződik. E két megszentelt pillanat az egyes dalokban különböző áramlásokat hoznak létre, de ugyanarról zengenek: vágyról, mély és titkos életenergiáról, amely szerelmet, hitet, hangot csihol, játékra hív, érezni szólít fel. A hagyományos zenék nyelvén tudok szólni, amelyet lelkek milliói érleltek, mégis mindig új, személyes hangon beszél. A magyar népdalok: gyökereim, öröm-bánat a saját nyelvemen. A cigány dalok: szabadság, humor, kesernyés ízzel, ritmus és expresszivitás. A Psyché-versek játékos, ám mély vallomások egy félcigány, szenvedélyes nő ö

Our senses hold some of our most potent memories. Touching the silk or smelling herbal soap, aroma of ground coffee brewing in coffee maker or sizzling of curry leaves in oil sends me back in time to my Ajji’s

Brinjal, often described as ‘the king of vegetables’ … You either love it or hate it! Luckily I fall into the Brinjal lover category and so does my Appa. When we were kids, sometimes after school hours my sister and I would go to my dad’s clinic for routine dental check up and wait in his office till he finished his work. We both would sit in his office which had a glass partition and watch Appa treating his patients in fascination. We both never got tired of waiting for him to finish his work as the clinic was always filled with people and lots of small kids to play with. My sister and myself were quite used to the attention received by his assistants and patients and we enjoyed when we were called as Putani (small) Doctors. Appa being a generous soul would never take money for treatment from poor people or charge very less when they insisted on pay. Some of his patients were farmers and they would come with a big cane basket filled with fresh vegetables and fruits from their

Most of my friends and people who know me tell me, “You are so strong S. You know how to deal with worst situations”. This always makes me think again and again. Am I that strong? Can I cope up with any worst things and survive? No, I am definitely not that strong. If I am strong, then I inherited it by default. I inherited it by genes from one strong woman, my mother. I am blessed to have been raised by a woman who is never afraid to show her unconditional love. She never backs down from anything or anyone. She has given us courage, unconditional love, identity of our own, pride and ability to stand on our own feet in this not so kind world, not just nourishing food.There is no greater love than the love of a Mother. There are times, even now, when I don’t feel well and I pick up the phone and call her. As soon as I hear her voice I revert to a child and as always in her loving way, she makes everything alright for me with her love. If anyone to ask me who my role model is, I wo
Palyas in Karnataka are dry vegetable subjis which are served as side dish. Usually palyas can be made using any vegetables of your choice. They are very simple to cook with minum ingredients and spices. There is one palya which has always been my favourite dish. It is usually made and served for special occasions. The main ingredients here are Tender Cashew Nuts and Tondekai (Tindora). The sweetness of tender cashews with crunchy tondekai makes this palya special.Sometime back when I was chatting with my mother she told me she has prepared this palya. First thing which came to my mind was how she managed to get tender cashews in this time of the year as they are available from April in my native. Then she told me how to make this palya which will equally taste as good as tender cashew-tondekai palya which I am now going to share with you all. It was really great experience for us who always thought there was no way we can get hold of tender cashews in any super market, be canned or ot
