MOVIES N CULTURE .

last night watching "tere naal love ho gya" ...Indian bollywood movie ....to me it was far from reality ..and Genelia a pretty looking gurl next to Ritesh deshmukh (bollywood stars)looked very fake to me ..some scenes are just forced upon us ...
Genelia has still long way to go.. she has to learn lot of acting..Ritesh is as usual very expressive and real... he is a good actor.
I am surprised by the indian film industry as to why their films have much hyped punjabi family and a sikh girl running from home.. I mean what bull shit is this??
who does like that ?? I am from punjab and I had always seen the gurls in very protective environment ..and respecting their parents in and as any indian family..not running here n there shown in movies which  is not reality....nor part of punjab or any indian culture.
Genelia (Indian actress)
Like , I met a client who's teenager daughter went to india for first time ... maybe she had some picture of india in her mind after seeing the Bollywood movies ..she was taken aback to see far from reality ..what India is and all that shown in movies..not even closer all that limelight and boldness ....its all fake,. ..people please grow up N my request to the Indian film industry ..try to show our culture and some good subjects ..instead of all these fake things,,, We who are living outside india ..always look for best of our country at-least from our own movies, director's n producers.. .. We have always created a niche and got nominated for Oscars ..please keep up the name of the country and culture.

Paranthas ...(indian stuffed pitas)




..Last month we were invited for Parantha party...Invitation said..( Parantha's...All Kind)
I laughed at the invitation and theme of the party...
..Parantha is an integral part of the north Indian breakfast....Parantha which is basically a N.Indian fare are unleavened flat breads similar to tortillas .The art of cooking up a parantha is something that is mastered over time..practice,practice and more practice,to make tasty paranthas.
As we entered the party there was a special aroma ,I could smell the Paranthas..
All kind .. of Vegetables and plain paranthas were served in a basket..the table was laid with salad ..Mutton gravy , Potato with vegetable balls in Gravy and yogurt served with spring onions.
lots of pickles to compliment the food..followed by traditional Kheer( Rice pudding)
It looked very presentable..
talking of paranthas,Frozen parantha Industry has progressed very well in US and Canada..looking at the frozen section I was surprised to see chicken tikka parantha..I never heard that so to me it was new and funny but in Canada I was surprised to see ..A whole big section of paranthas only ..Name it and you will get it,Some of these indian parantha stores are open twenty four hours for service ..punjabi style Paranthas ,I always loved with mango pickle and yogurt ..to me anytime parantha time.. my favorite is Paneer parantha (cottage cheese ),I always relished but I can never forget Indian punjabi Dhaba paranthas ..they are simply awesome ,thou one can eat jus one at a time may be they are fried or stuffed heavily..But no match to those paranthas.
I usually prefer cereal now days for breakfast keeping the calories in mind but during weekends I prefer making fresh dough paranthas ,atleast once a week,and relish it with butter and Lassi(butter milk) sumptuous it sounds?
