My new friend 'Kindle'

Image
 Hello Guys,   With my exams getting over and with the start of Dasara vacation (Festival celebrated in the country I live in) now I am back with a new blog.  Today's blog is about my new friend 'Kindle'. I am sure many of you know what a Kindle is.  For those of you who don't, a Kindle is a way to purchase and read books without getting hard copy of the book.   I have always been a bookworm. So after sometime of waiting my parents got me a Kindle for my birthday. My uncle gifted me a really beautiful cover for my Kindle.  We got the kindle setup and charged. From the second day itself, I started downloading and reading many books. Less than a month later, we got Kindle Unlimited.   I started to read one book as soon as we got it. Kindle unlimited allows me to have access to many books which we couldn't read otherwise or couldn't find a hard copy of.  I am having a lot of fun with it and I spend almost my whole day reading book...

My experience in making Jamun

Image
 Hey, Today's post is a festival special blog.   I decided to help my mother with her cooking.  She told me that I can help with preparing Jamun.  She poured in the jamun mix and gave little water to prepare dough.  So I mixed it and made the dough by kneading it thoroughly, while my mother was preparing the sugar syrup.  After around half an hour Jamun was ready. I have been making the balls for the Jamun from around the age of 5, as helping my mother in kitchen is one of my hobbies.  But today it was little different.  As I said earlier, my experience in Jamun making till now was with making balls. But today, I kneaded the dough as well. I had a lot of fun helping my mother with the Jamuns. My mother said the cooking was quicker this time (as I helped her), but I do not know how much quicker it was!!!   Shall I tell a secret? Actually I do not think it was that quick at all.   This is the picture of the jamun soaked in t...

Matilda - book review

Image
  Hello Everyone, I know its been a long time since I wrote a blog, today I am back with a new post about the book Matilda. This book is written by Roald Dahl, one of my favourite writer.  I have also read  'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' , 'Charlie and the great glass elevator'  written by the same author.  The book is about a little smart girl named Matilda who is completely ignored by her family.  The book narrates Matilda's desire to study and go to school and also her adventures at school.  Even before she was sent to school by her parents, she learnt reading by herself and read almost every book in the nearly library.  She was also able to manage all activities by herself. This book narrates how Matilda learns about her secret power and her abilities. It is quite interesting to read how Matilda uses her power to save her classmates from the pun ishments of the rude school principal. I loved reading the fascinating story of the young girl...

Hello everyone nice to see you again.   You know I am a big fan of jellies.   I was wondering if there are any Indian jellies and for my surprise there are so many kinds of halwa which looks like jellies. In this blog I am writing about few Indian jellies.   Ash gourd Halwa (Dumroot Halwa/Kashi Halwa) Ashgourd halwa is a delicious halwa which looks and tastes like jelly. It is a preparation made from Ash gourd, sugar, ghee, cardamom and dry fruits. Though preparing it is a lengthy process, if done right, it tastes very good.   This is a very famous halwa which in prepared in many weddings and feasts.  It is also called as Kashi halwa or dumroot. I heard that it originated in udupi.  Here is the picture of the halwa which was made in our home last week.  Isn't it mouth watering? I enjoyed eating it as much as my parents enjoyed preparing it :)   In my next blog, see you with a different home made jelly... Bye for now.
