I chose to be happy

Recently Ive been thinking about shifting from blogger.com due to some stupid reasons, may be because going from one blog site to another is like changing a place, an apartment, or even a country, kind of running from that place where u have a lot of memories (sometimes not so happy), and trying to hide from all that, and simply seeking a safe place to start a new life. 

There are moments, days, and even years in our lives, when we stop writing, talking or even thinking. When all we need is just a simple quiet, a silence for our hearts. All those smart and philosophical thoughts  from the past become useless, and so contradictory and right at that  moment we start growing up. This process is often very painful, and it can destroy everything we've been believing to, living with, and dreaming of....almost everything. And the question "Why?" is becoming a priority among all other questions. We keep asking this question to our friends, family members, colleagues, and sometimes even to unknown passersby. We  start resemble ourselves those  poor people we used to meet during our life, who couldn't find enough strength in themselves to get over the troubles.

And we promise ourselves that this period will not be too long, and that after some time we will be fine, but as for now the only thing we want is to be far from everything. We identify ourselves with people from our favorite movies, trying to find excuses for the Life for acting with us like that, we keep telling  " well, she had the same situation, but she survived, and so will I, so will I" . It's not a depression or a stress, or something that is related to our physical state, its just a way we choose to live ... to live when the meaning of life and existence are forcefully changed. Remembering ourselves in oldie times, propagandizing our friends to keep fighting for their love and life now seems quite weird ( still somewhere deep inside we still believe in Faith).

But still we know and promise to ourselves that this period will not take too much time, and we  will survive through  the sufferings and pain, and will have a unique reincarnation ...we will do someday, in future...but as for now... I'd better tell I'm staying...

Առանց վերնագրի

Չկարոտե՜ս ինձ, երբ ես հեռանամ

Իմ երազներում քեզ փնտրելու...

Ու չկանչե՜ս ինձ, երբ հետո նորից մեզանից ոչինչ չի մնալու…

Մոլորված ես գիտեմ, բայց  ես ի՞նչ անեմ

Երբ ճակատագիրս  քեզ հանձնած, մաքառեցի հանուն լոկ պահի

Պահի, որ տևեց գեթ մի պահ, պահի որ տևեց մի ողջ կյանք

Ցավից ոռնացող մի սիրտ, ասա, ո՞նց է հետո ապրելու,

Ու չասված բոլոր խոսքերի այդ աղմուկից քո իրական ձայնը ո՞նց եմ լսելու….

Ապրի՜ր ոնց գիտես, միայն թե ինձ չկանչե՜ս, չփնտրե՜ս, չստե՜ս…

Չկարոտե՜ս ինձ, երբ ես հեռանամ

Լոկ երազներում քեզ փնտրելու...

Lovely Weekend

Some people think that love is just a few happy minutes, 
                                            Some people know that it can keep them happy all their life.

Some people think that love exists, 
                                            Some people know that it does.

Some people can die for love, 
                                           Some people simply kill  love.

Some people think that love cant be eternal, that it will die after some time, 
                                           Some people make it eternal.

Some people find just one  reason to quit, 
                                           Some people find just one reason to stay and make it possible.

Some people never believe in love, 
                                           Some people live by  Love.

Some people try to find love through all their life, 
                                           Some people can find through one short conversation.

Some people live to love 
                                          Some people love to live.

Some people play love 
                                          Some people (do) love.

Love is like God- no one ever seen it, but they can feel the presence inside & the things created as a result...

It's just a matter of views....it never means that love doesn't exist., its just that not all people can let their hearts open for it. 


For some people my lines are just funny, but for others these are the truth of their Life....


Lovely weekend for All...

Miracle in Sweets

My first exclamation in India was because of the great variety of  desserts and, in particular sweets  I saw in a window of a candy shop. These people indeed can create miracles through cooking & baking. You already face the problem of choosing  every time in every aspect of your life, and now how can you immediately decide which sweets to chose from this shop, when the view of each is attracting you :)

Well, its not surprising,  being an Eastern country India should have its rules of making sweets, cookies, and candies in its way like no other country in the world.  ;)

So, Dear readers, after my first trial of cooking an Indian food, I couldn't help myself from going to the next level - to the wonderful and miracle Indian sweets. I found the recipe from an I-net, but I did slight changes in it ;)). I promise that if You once try to taste this miracle, You will make it regularly :)) moreover if I tell that You will not put on weight, because milk and diary products are well balanced and easily absorbed ;)

All You need are:

Butter 120 g
Powdered sugar 60 g
Milk powder 220 g
Cream 30 ml of 30-33% fat
Pine nuts (nut-pine), 50 g
Cashews 20g

Mix a little melted butter with powdered sugar, milk powder. Add the cream and pine nuts. And begin to rub everything by hand, until the mixture acquires a smooth consistency. Number of powdered milk and cream may vary. The dough should be soft. 

I took the picture for the first time while cooking, I hope U will not judge so hard :))

 After that cool it a bit by putting  it into  the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Now lets model the  cubes, decorate  them with the nuts on top. Put ready candies on a plate and put them into the freezer again. Wait for 20-30 minutes until they freeze slightly.

Here we got our first Miracle :))))

Dear readers, this is the best dessert for the morning: taste it with coffee or tea, and You will understand from where it got its name :)

Samosa

I think every person, who even once tastes Indian cuisine, will never forget the delicious and very exotic taste of Indian food. Two months spent in India had completely changed my view about traditions in meals, and after coming back to my country, I decided to try to cook an Indian simple food to have an opportunity to feel myself in India again. At least,  I can do this for sure, without any hesitations.


So, I decided to start my trial with the famous Indian snake- samosa, I liked this recipe, the dough in soft and of course you can experiment with the filling, trying different vegetables. The list of ingredients is long, you need a lot of different spices, if any spices cannot be found, it’s not a problem, you can experiment with different combinations.

For the dough

- Wheat flour - 400 gr.
- 1/2 tsp salt 
- Melted butter - 100 g.
- Cold water 150 ml.

For the filling

- 3 potatoes (of a medium size)
- Peas or beans 250 gr.
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 tsp Fenugreek seeds 
- 0.5 tsp Grated fresh ginger 
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 0.5 tsp ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon asafoetida
- 0.25 tsp ground cloves
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper 
-  oil for frying

Put into a bowl the flour, salt, and butter, mix it well, and then add water. Rub the dough with your hands for 5 minutes, until it becomes homogeneous. Cover the dough with a wet towel; it will wait until we prepare the filling.

the dough was really good

Heat oil; add all spices,salt, peper and cook for 5 minutes. Then add cropped potatoes and peas. Mix well and cook for 15 minutes.

1        2
3        4 

Roll out the dough into medium sized chapatis and cut it into half. Apply little water on the sides and fold it into cone shape.

Fill in the our potato peas mixture and close the other ends as well. Ensure that it is closed well on all sides, else the filling will come out.

My first samosa :)

Heat oil on a low flame and fry these samosas. When cooked on a low flame, the samosa get cooked well and also crispy.

don't judge too hard :)

                                     

From India with Love

Sometimes by collecting the smallest parts of our memories we r creating our life histories.

                                 

An old ballerine - my advisor.....

And still life is an interesting thing no matter what you think  ....It can teach you a lesson at any time....doing shopping, walking in the park with your pet, crossing the street, jumping from the parachute or simply opening your eyes in the morning......Every day is a new chance, is a new opportunity until we are alive....and even if you have a million problems still there are answers inside yourself....you should simply try to decode them....

Sometimes a completely unknown person may play the greatest role in your path, that you will understand this bit later....All you need is to be open for that.

My morning and afternoon I spent in a very strange for me place ....at the passport office in the Police station....I reached there bit soon....and had to wait ....I was tired, and I took my place in the corridor....While I was sitting there one old man came in & asked about the time...& sat next to me....after a while an old lady came and asked if she could sit with me....I said that none had rented this bench and  its just a bench for every one and she sat in the right.....I smiled thinking that today might be an old people's day ...and that I was surrounded by the old man and the old lady ...

Just because there was too hot in the corridor the old man left, asking to mention his name in case if the door of passport adviser would be opened.... looking at my watch and cheeking every minute I was killing the time until the advisor would come up....The old lady turned to me and asked:

''Honey, seems you want to catch time, right? pushing every minute and every second is not a thing, dear. I would give my all to stop the watch and to stop the time right now....to live just few hours longer....to do few things I can still have time to ''...

I felt myself very bad, because I didn't mean to hurt anyone I was just looking at my watch ... Then she turn her face and said:

''I lost everything in my life: my children, my husband, even my house.....I lost my health, my years, my life.....I have very little to live now....and I have nothing, but You know, my young girl, what can I tell you....I have a granddaughter, who asks everyday to tell her a fairytale in the nights....and I want to live to read my little kid few more stories at bedtime.... because she has none else in this world, and because I am her only family, and after my death she will be taken to the orphanage....And now all I want from this advisor is to help me with my kid....'',- and then she stopped.... I was completely shocked to be involved in such a tragic life-story of that lady....but still couldn't say anything...

''I was a ballerina in past....yes, my dear, I danced in a Ballet Troupe....and have been gone on many tours all over the world....glory and  success, ovations - this was  my life, but everything has its limits, and even our time....I will not tell you what happened but I lost everything at the same moment: my family, my house, everything....Because everything in our life is given to us with a limit , everything we have now is being ranted, nothing really belongs to us, even our Talents....It is given by God to check how U will keep it, how u will love it , how u will save it....''....and she whispered....'' Never lose ur loved ones, ur family, ur friends who r ready to die for you, save them''....,- she weeped,-'' All those who run after the Time will lose everything, believe me, I will open u one secret: Let everything be in time, have patience, don't run after the events, everything will be on time''....and she stopped...

I was thinking why did she tell all these to me ? Did  I look like a person who needed an advice? I raised  my head finally  to ask her a question and saw she d gone....

I looked around and saw none just that old man coming to my direction and loudly complaining  against our government.....

I thought that old lady would back and I would be able to talk to her, but it was useless ...she d really gone...

An all I want now  is to hope she will be all right at least for her granddaughter's sake....and that the dream of her past home will be back to her again.....

Good luck TATI...and thank you for your advice....

How...

I don’t understand how can you smile all day long, but cry yourself to sleep at night. How pictures never change, but the people in them do. How you can love so innocently, but it can turn into anger so quickly. How your best friend can become your worst enemy. Or when your worst enemy turns into your best friend. How forever turns into a few short months that you'd do almost anything to get back. How you can let go of something you once said you couldn’t live without. How even though you know letting go of something is best for you, it hurts just the same. How the people who once wanted to spend every second with you, think a few minutes of their time is too much time to spare. How people make promises, and bear their souls to someone despite knowing how common it is for promises to be broken. How people can erase you from their lives ‘cause it’s just easier then working things out.

Happy Love

Today on my way home I was passing by one flower-shop & noticed a phrase on the window framed “Happy Love”. Well, I guess it might have written there for a long time but I noticed it only today:)…I looked at this note and thought if there really exists Happy Love, if there is a real irresistible- conscious feeling that u can do it ?
But while I was pondering on it I caught sight of one old couple walking near that flower-shop, gently holding each other’s hands. They haven’t done anything extraordinary they simply lived the whole life together…some 50 or 60 years:). This made me to remember about my friends’ love stories, those ones who went through thick and thin, lived bad times, but they earned each other finally.
Today I want to congratulate all my friends who r in love. Guys if u r sure he/she is that into you, if u do love each other, if the only thought of being apart already causes a pain, then never let all these disappear, never burn it, u will never find it again, fight for ur love, find compromises, don’t let stupid things be so huge and meaningful to destroy the greatest feeling created somewhere high in the sky. Take care of ur love, water it like a flower, work on it & u will gain ur deserved fruits.
Never listen to anyone, do ur choice if there’s one who is worth, fight for him/her. All those who r happy to give advices to do things in their ways have no idea how it actually works, don’t listen to them.
Create ur own love story, live for it & Im sure one day it will be worthily called “Happy”, and it will be the proof for my theory and I will be blessed no matter the fact that my life is proving me the opposite :)…..I still hopelessly believe in Love. Now I’m sure that no one can ever change it. I am hopeless :)
be happy, Dears !
