The Sweet Fantasy- "Brownies"

                                   One of my fantasy when it comes to sweets. Brownies. Soft and tempting, chocolaty and delicious, brownie is a kind which wins a heart of millions around the globe. Well I am one of them. You get them of many types and varieties, of different hands of different souls. Brownie no one can resist to eat and melt them in their mouth
                                 
                                    A Delicious and a chocolaty sweet. When kept in mouth, and chewed a bit, melts down in your throat giving you a feeling of supreme enjoyment. Not less than a royal dish, it is eaten by people of all kinds a sweet for everyone. From poor to rich, everyone can afford it, from kids to old people everyone can eat it. It does not require a time to have it, you can have it anytime.
                                     
                                     Its made of delicious chocolate,butter,flour,walnuts and pieces of chocolates, all rich in their kind. Full of calories and fats, one does not simply consider these facts while having them because its taste vanishes out all your remarks on its calories and fats content. That is Brownie for you
       
                                    Available at every bakery, it is one of the bakers favorite as well. They make it from their soul and I know one baker whose Brownie(Taste) touches your heart. Sujata Bansal Aunty, one of the best bakers I have come across. Amazing hands and perfect quantity is not only the things which make her brownies perfect, but the ingredient of love and clean soul is the one that makes her brownies one of the best in the world.
             
                                     Brownies are not made delicious just because of the hands and perfect quantity, but yes they are made perfect with one's soul being clean and one should also add an ingredient of love to it. Tasted and liked by everyone, brownies are ones personal favorite, a fantasy, a hunger, a love and many more. They always taste beyond your expectations.
       
                                    Brownies are eaten in many way, one of them is having them with hot chocolate and a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top of it, it is eaten hot reheated in the microwave oven, it is eaten with icecreams of different flavors but the best thing to have with brownie is the brownie itself. Without any sauce or any other flavors added to it, a brownie is enough to satisfy ones soul and make them feel it.     

Flashback "2013"- A Year of joys and sorrows. (Part-1)

                                      So finally another year comes to in that is 20"13". A quick review through the year 2013- A Year of Joys and Sorrows.

                                      It all started on the night of 31st December 2012 when all my family members where having a countdown 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 it was 00:00 in the clock and we knew that its a new year and its 2013. We all wish a happy new year and take blessings from the small temple in our kitchen. What a wonderful start it was to 2013. Days past and all was going good. One fine morning the first sorrow of 2013 had shocked our home. My grandmother a beautiful and a gorgeous person suffered her third heart attack. Chances of survivals where less this time as it was just 10% of the heart in function while the rest was damaged. On the 28th January 2013 she passed away in pain. The first death in our family. It had shocked everyone in the family. Life settled slowly and slowly and we all where back to our regular routines.
                                    Soon the family was blessed with the news of my cousin sister getting married in summers. A wish we all wished for. The shopping and packing was in full swing. Excitement was flooded in our souls. Smiles had settled down permanently on our faces. Words where less to script down our joy and happiness. Soon we fly to the venue for the marriage. It was my Nani's place. My summer hang out. We cousins reunite there every summers and this time it was a special occasion. We soon get so engrossed in the functions and celebrations that we just forgot about our health. Finally the day had arrived, my sister was getting married, a big day for us. Dressed up like grooms and brides. We arrived on the occasion. Soon all those ceremonies take place according to the time period and everything was the going fine.
                                   One fine day after the marriage, the biggest shock not only of 2013 but of my entire life had broken up into pieces. My mother, my soul suffered a brain hemorrhage. We lost the time of treatment and she soon entered into the brain dead stage from where a person cannot return to his/her senses. This news was kept away from me for many days and I was informed that she has suffered a mild hemorrhage and is now recovering. But still not satisfied from this news, I use to get tensed, bath in sweat,wash my face with my own tears as I was kept away from discussions and planning about further actions. One fine day with the eldest family member present there took out the guts whispered in my ears and said that "Your mom will never be back, she slept forever". These lines not only shocked me but I felt myself as a body without a soul. Soon after a few days, I bid farewell to my mother as she knocks the doors of heaven and gets accepted there.
                                  Broken down in tears, My father and me return back to Bombay our home town with my Bua accompanying us. Our neighbors and all closed ones in Bombay broke down in tears as no one was agreeing to what has happened. God, how faithful and how loyal was my mother to everyone. Right from members of her bhajan mandly to those who have worked and known her, all where down with tears.
                                 But as they say you meet people who are your happiness in your bad days. I not only realized this quote but I felt this. Support given me by my friends, known and unknown. They even visited me to give me some moral support. I still remember that day, Raoul,Sakshi,Anil,Nikhil,Sayalee,Purujeet,Teneysha,Rhea,Shrushti,Simran,Charchit. Many of those whom I never interacted with or never talked to them. Angels of Humanity and friendly nature. I would thanks them, they never left me alone even for every possible thing. With support from Family and support from friends, I was finding out easy to move on.
                                 All where there for my help, a feeling of tears and joy, which cannot be expressed. I soon encounter with happiness and all those fun I had with my favorites, Sudin,Siddharth,Ishan,Sauvik,Parth. Not even a second where they made me feel lonely. All of them, angels with golden heart. They have helped me in my each and every moment of my life. They have helped me to move away those boulders which I was facing in my life.
                               It was my birthday that day, day started off with a emotional start. Missing those two ladies who had enjoyed my birthday the most in my life. First birthday without them. But again as they say, friends are friends. True friends, all those moments and all those wishes, one of the best birthday celebrations in my life.
                               I soon come across a friend, a special one, the person I trusted the most, three of them actually, who helped me to face every fact of life. One of them, a railfan and a senior person to me, Anil Kumar. One of the best person I have ever come across in my life. Not only a beautiful writer but also a faithful friend and one of the best person in your company. Always motivating, he gave me a moral support by helping me out and cheering me up.
                              One of my second friends, Sauvik. Hahahaha, we fight like mad people, always welcome each other with abusive words. Hahaha but other than that, he is the best person in my friend list. Always motivated in my life, not only by big long explanations but also by his shitty sense of humor. Hahahaha. A big big big support to me. "Sauvik though you are such a big A**Hole and a big J*rk, still you are the best when it comes from heart. PS- I am such a liar, Hahahaha. Jokes apart
                             Aha there you go my final, and the best girl I ever had as my friend. Aastha, you have not only been a motivator but also a friend who has helped me to tackle hunger, Hahaha teaching me many dishes, from Pasta to Halwa, from Soup to Custard. Hahahah. You are one of my favorite person and I respect you a lot, and how can I forget, all those chocolates I have given you. You are a friend for whom I cant script down my views and my respect for you.
                              And as they say, as the life goes on, we should also move one. Many days came and went. I come across many new friends. My Juniors. A good company to have. Some of them are Harman,Priya,Yukti and Prithvijit. Soon I come across the best memory of 2013. The Dandiya Night.
The excitement cannot be expressed in words. The best time I had with my friends,teacher. Hats off to the Gundecha Education Academy Alumni Association. Member I want to personally thank, Mridul,Sanil and all those all those people making it such a beautiful evening. I had the best time spent with you guys.
                              Well thats all for the first part of Flashback "2013"- A Year of Joys and sorrows.
                               Second part to be written soon.

Room no-207

                Quite an odd title of an experience, but its an interesting one and the turning point of my life!

6th May 2013,
It was a day of celebration as my Cousin Sister, the most loved one in the family members was tying a knot.
While all where in joy dancing on the stage, I was lying with a stomach infection on the day of marriage in room "207" of my hotel. Namely Galaxy! Me and my family, my parents where booked in the hotel room no 207 for five days and it was the second last day of our stay with us checking out tomorrow morning and shifting to my Granny's house nearby.
While I gained a bit of confidence and decided to visit the marriage, I decided to give a surprise to everyone specially to my mother who would be the most happy among the crowd of hundreds that knew me. I soon call up the driver and drive to the marriage venue. There I spot the love and the support of my life, my mother who was tired and was in full sweat after dancing in full swing in marriage.
I knew my surprise would have surely boost up all her energy levels. I slowly walk towards her come from behind and keep my hands on her beautiful and delicate eyes and whisper in her ears "Guess who?"
Within a second, she hugs me, kisses me on my cheeks, and whispers me back, there you go, my boy has come. Beta you have made my day. Inspite of knowing that I would be arriving her, she behaved as if she was unaware of the surprise. A true mother. Dressed up in her favorite Kurta and Pyajama she blesses me with all her power and love.
Later as I start visiting the other relatives specially the newly wed couple, all express a feeling of joy but nothing matched the feeling I felt in my heart. The feeling of my mother. Probably it was the last feeling and I had to wait for another birth to get such.
I then quickly go for a photo-session of myself and then with the couple. But then soon my body triggers the alarm that I just woke up from a stomach infection. I then sit down with all my body energy levels back to zero and then enjoy the conversation with my Masi(my mothers elder sister).
After my mother being tired we return back to the hotel room no "207" leaving the marriage venue and skipping the marriage that was schedule around 3am in the morning. As we return back to the hotel, we all where tired and needed some sleep to regain our body levels. We switched on the Air-Condition to make the room to settle down at an acceptable temperature. While we where preparing to sleep, my mother wishes me Goodnight and gives me a kiss on my cheeks and says me to relax and phrases that- "Whatever happens,happens for a good cause".
We all went for a sleep, the next morning, my Dad wakes up the first and takes a glimpse of an early morning sunlight, lighting up room no "207". Slowly I wake up but my mom is still asleep. She grabs my hand in deep sleep and tells me to love her and massage her head as it was paining and tells me that- "Now shes done with her wish and wants to sleep". I never took this seriously.
As the sun brightens up and time was slipping away to checkout of room no "207", I try to wake up my mother, inspite of my hundred attempts to wake her up, she still remains sleep in silence as if she was away from the world. Panic attacks me and my Dad, we try to wake her up but when she didnt responded, I broke down thinking whats going on and there's no one to support. Soon we call up our relatives and they help us both emotionally and physically, My mother is soon shifted out of room no "207" and was taken to hospital for diagnosis.
Room no "207" second floor, Galaxy hotel, Aligarh. Not only a room but a divine place for me, last words and last memories, last time I saw my mom awake, Last time I saw her sleep, I have each and every emotion attached to that room and I guess it will always be a special one to me.
Mom I miss you so much, wish that night would never turn into day and you would never leave my soul and it wouldnt have been a dooms day. Maa I miss you so much that I cant express it. You have given me a goal to achieve but whenever I achieve even a percent of it, I break down in tears because I dont have you to celebrate with me! :(
