>>wrap rap ^_^

sometimes i think its all a waste

in this life of haste

the friendship we make

the promises that v dnt break

the smiles we create

like in the name of bait

here v r in giggling in the rhythm of uprush

freedom divided by feelings in a gush

make no sense living for the pre-sent

in future when i look back i donnnnt wanna resent…

so here i break them all rules conventional

making it positive superlative multi-dimentional

Inaudible Melodies I try to formulate

Bubble Toed angle gonna cross my fate

My angle dosent wear them wings

What it does wear is a smile that clings

Evident it is the one that left u wanting more

Is the one u de-p-lore..

Heal n grow n recreate

D mistakes that one ought to make

Whos to say whats impossible!

As the surface breaks reflections fade

Emotions progress into a cascade

Leaving u played

So here it goes again wsup son

Keeping mum is like midnight sun

Chicken run, self replicating pun

Shun the gun

After much of all… yet im Undone!

FooGanza!..Food Vaganza

Hello munchies!

‘m back with a Food-Safari!

Today immbe sharing some of my Food Formulas.

It’s the stuff I cherish to cook, serve & relish!

Not gonna boar with the elongated recipes but only share(shhhhh!) the secret stuff that I do or add ; )

So lets get to it : )

SEV PURI

To begin with I actually add Pickle at the base of the puri, making it more tangy & spicy.

Add lemon juice & freshly diced dhaniya to the potato-mash, making it fresh, waking up your taste buds!

Sometimes I don’t make Sev puri out of the flat puri but with the crispy risen puris, its equally good.

Highly advisable to make the Chutneys at home & not buy the preserved one’s.

For Sweet Chutney(apart from the obvious stuff): use Red dates, Gud/Jaggery , Badi saunf/fennel, Mangrail seeds/onion seeds & 

sweetness :)

DAHI SAMOSA CHAT

Mash the samosa down on a plate, then add chopped onion & tomato over it. Sprinkle some chat masala. Create a muddle of dahi, chilli, salt & boondi and pour it over the earlier mash. Add green chutney, sweet chutney & tomato ketchup over the mash. Ready to eat!

ALOO PARATHA

The unusual thing that I do with my Aloo-paratha is that I mix besan, dhaniya & finely chopped green chillies with the potato mash.

Keep the flame medium high for the paratha to rise perfectly.

ALOO PALAK

Not really a favourite but really healthy. 

This vegetable tastes the best when served hot.

A must, 3Gs: Ginger, Garlic & Green Chilli.

Chop the Spinach finely for it to cook evenly.

BANANA ELAICHI KHEER

Most definitely one of my special deserts

Boil the milk. Chop the bananas, add sugar, powdered elaichi & love to it.

When the milk cools down, add the banana mixture (which would have by then gone gooey) Mix it all up without mashing up the banana bits much, serve it with a kiss : >

FALOODA

Well this one actually I didn’t create!

I bought a ready to make Falooda mix & cooked it up.

But what I did do was add the 2Cs, Cinnamon & Cardamom powder to the mix during the boiling state.

When the mix was cold & ready to serve, I added couple of dry fruits & a yummy nutty ice-cream to gorge on.

It was a hit!

GULAB JAMUN

I don’t like them, I Love them!

The hush-hush is that add the fried balls to the syrup while its searing hot & Close the Lid! Close the Lid..That’s the key!

It’s make the Golden jamuns to rise like from tennis balls to footballs :P

Also sucks the syrup right to the core, making it ready to eat almost instantly.

Add Elaichi to the Syrup to enhance the Gulab Jamun’s flavour.

Joke of the Day! :D

Hey White Shirt Guy

Why look at me & then look away

Pretend u don’t see me, yet steal a look when I look away

U never let your eyes engage in mine

What be afraid of? Naked emotion or feeling divine

Our words don’t converse but your calm is too loud

By not speaking u r creating a crowd

A crowd of unsaid words

A crowd of secluded feelings

A crowd of mysterious limits

Why are we friends online when not in person

Just because u know my name is no reason

Fly fly fly.. u are the fabrication of your own imagination

But when u land, swim with my possibilities, envision.

Unfolding Insight

Itni shiddat se maine Tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai

ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai…

These lines by Om Prakash Makhija from Om Shanti Om had my world going in circles that my life rotates around now.

I don’t know, neither do I necessarily aim for the readers who believe in destiny, fate, karma, will power or any other occult concepts, but the writer sure does.

I always have lived my life believing since a very tender age about a world beyond world & another within.

So when I came across The Secret, it was as if my life long questions were being answered. Do I practice the secret? Yes & an avid believer.

For the Believers & the Realists, today I sat down to share a secret of my own.

We all at one point of time in our demanding lives, we are heavily influenced by someone so much so that we idolize them; believe in them & sometimes cyber stalk them :P

That person for me being, Somdev Devvarman.

Somdev Devvarman

The first time I saw him was rather door se on Doordarshan :D

He was playing his final match at the Common Wealth Games.

I’d never been interested in watching tennis. But this guy had something going so strong that I couldn’t switch the channel, he played like a fierce animal. His game spoke for the power in him, his resilience & I could see how much he wanted this.

And by the time he won, he’d already won my heart along with thousands of other Indians.

He’s India’s Best Singles Tennis Player (Current ranking #129)

On winning CWG 2010 Gold 

Ever since that game, he had me, a loyal admirer. I had started glancing through the sports section for some Som news. I began to check TV schedules for his matches. Its something I read in The Secret & did, I would cut out his articles from the newspaper & paste them on my wardrobe. I would talk to him every morning, I’d kiss him goodnight.

I love him, I believe in the player I admire so much!

I don’t watch tennis for tennis; I watch tennis for Somdev Devvarman.

So when I got to know of Aircel Chennai Open(ACO) 2013 & that Som was accorded a wildcard entry there. It had me going nuts!

For some reason I feel closer when he’s in India :P Because he is!

Although I had no plans of going or anything close! I just logged on to the ACO site checking for updates & news on Som.

I came across ACO Superfan Contest. The requirement was to make an under a minute video explaining why am I the ACO Superfan.

At first the Procrastinate Priya strolled away from the page but then the Passionate Priya came around & wanted to feel the joy of participation :P So I decided to go ahead with it.

I self shot myself over my web cam, wrote my own dialogues :P & then struggled a bit with the editing, but completed the video & hit Send!

To be honest, I had no idea or intention of winning, its just something that I did because I had a little too much free time :P

So when I received a mail saying that I had WON, it was Eeeeenormous!

Trust me, because I couldn’t even smile, I was in such a state of shock!

It took me a couple of minutes on re-reading the mail that I’d actually won!

When I finally let it sink in, I called my sister asking her if she’d be interested in accompanying me to Chennai, yes I’m a flaunter :P

Finally when I showcased my video, after I’d win, everyone was taken aback.

My father, who’s my eternal supporter, congratulated me & let me ride it smooth from there on.

The rewards on the win were ridiculous! It was an all sponsored trip to Chennai & back! Doesn’t matter how much ever money you have, free stuff always overrules it :P

It was a fun flight with my sister’s antique tactics, eating & offering samosa to a firang passenger :P

We stayed at ‘The Park’ hotel in Chennai, also where all the other players were staying, Som too :D It was a breath-taking feeling knowing he was just a couple of floors away :P

We’d go to the SDAT Tennis stadium for the matches. 

SDAT Tennis Stadium, Chennai

And be dropped back to the hotel, Thankyou Volvo! :P Volvo being one of the official sponsors for ACO 2013.

I watched all these players taller than the commentator’s chairs play, they were startling! There was Janko Tipsarevic, Tomas Berdych, Marin Cilic, Stanislas Wawrinka, Benoit Paire & do I need to say? Somdev Devvarman : ) for whom I’d travelled far away mountains, rivers & seas(in a plane :P )

Autographed Poster

They made me realize what a human body is capable of; although it didn’t quiet seem that we’d the same human body!

I tried to watch the doubles match between Ratiwatana Brothers & Sergiy Stakhovsky/Somdev, but all I could focus on was Som, I just couldn’t take my eyes off of him, and he was a walking, playing, slipping, laughing wonder for me.

Somdev Devvarman & Sergiy Stakhovsky

I remember taking a deep breadth, grinning & saying Thank You to the universe for the moment I was witnessing. I wanted to dance & jump & shout, but I sat back in my chair pretending to watch the match :D Damn I had goosebumps!

The next day I was informed I’d be live on TV for a brief interview with big shot commentator Charu Sharma himself! Instantly the song ‘15 minutes of Fame’ came to my mind :P

I’d decided to go bald a couple of months back & thus my hair was pretty short at the time of ACO. I used gel & what not to make it look "proper", but my hair wanted to dance to its own tunes -_- And my sinister sister had done a tad bit much too much eye-makeup on me! Trust me you don’t wanna be looking like that when you are out & live on TV :P

I was very much at easy before they called out for me to come onto the court, and as soon as I did a nerve striked. Janko congratulated me & so did I to him, on qualifying for the finals!

Charu Sharma interviewing Priya Singh

I wanted to start off by saying “Vanakkam Chennai” but instead Charu began asking me questions -_- He asked me if I'd written a certain slogan that got me to win to which I got baffled, thinking should I correct him that I'd made a video & no slogan or it'd be inappropriate to point that altogether! I got jittery & talking God-knows-what! :P I have no recollection of what I spoke!

After which the IMG Reliance General Manager Asha came across to give me ACO Goodies, which contained Som’s autographed tennis ball. I wasn’t as much overwhelmed with the interview as I was on receiving the ball! :P I was in tears!

Everyone looking at me like I was complete and total wack!

I didn’t want people to recognize me, I changed into ACO T-shirt :P I was as red(*blushing) as the shirt!

It was such an immensely moving reaction to be holding that ball, feeling close to the player you admire so much, I couldn’t contain all the happiness in me. I felt like I’d burst, as what Ricky Fitts quotes in American Beauty.. like there’s so much beauty in the world, I felt I couldn’t take it.

Asha, Tanya & Arun, people from the ACO, tried hard for me to meet Som. And I had plenty of opportunities to meet him as well. But I didn’t.

Because I want to meet Somdev on my own terms. What are my terms? Guess you’re just gonna have to wait for that folks!

Kyunki Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost! : )
