It's been a beautiful day today. I wear a bright yellow to work to kick-start the week. Baba and Arif (my brother) sleep on the way. As usually with plenty of stuff in my hands, my stethoscope falls on the floor as I head for my clinic. A staff (carpenter I guess) picks it up for me and also opens the door for me. I smile a thank you. So many patients later, we take a break for lunch. I share the shami kebab I made with my nurses. They praise. I smile a thank you. It's been a great clinic today. Finished on time as well. As I wait for my gari I sit in the hospital lawn. Most people are heading home. They look likes birds returning. Back home I listen to songs with my bhatija. We sway a little. He smiles his dimpled smile. And I call it a day.

Its Eid. And its meaty Eid. So I try this recipe from 'National' recipe book my father got me sometime back. Its called  'Lakhsmi chowk ki kali mirch ki karhai'. It has some basic ingredients and is very easy to make.  Step One  Add meat, oil, masalas, tomatoes, water, and let it cook on medium flame. Once water evaporates and meat is tender, add yogurt and do bhunai.  Step two Then add butter, ginger and green chilies. Give 'dum' for a minute and eat it with naan, raita and salad. There you go.

Memories of travel

Sometime back I traveled to Belgium. Sharing some beautiful moments today.  The sun from the airplane window and the dark inside. With the flight in transit to Doha, this was Hammad International Airport. It had a long long walk way from one terminal to the next.     Jadeed perfume...    Some random peoples .....    The airport had this nice and peaceful mosque inside. Love the black and white motives. In the lounge were these... fruit salad, muffin (which I saved for later) and the drink doesnt need any detail. The tea was like any other tea. Liked the cup though. (did not keep it for later) This one if from the Belgian hotel breakfast. Say cheese!
