Just for Laughs

Jokes from our week long holiday at Spain and Portugal...

CT: I can't believe it....kuch mahine pehle humne 'Zindagi na Milegi Dobara' dekhi thi aur aaj hum Barcelona mei holiday ke liyeh aayeh hai.
Me: Yeah...sahi bola. Ek kaam kar abhi agle filem "Ra.One" dekh le space jaruur pahunch jayegi.

Me, CT & SS couldn't stop laughing for 10 mins after that.

01.01.2012

Watching the amazing  fireworks at Midnight from the roof top (I could have gone to the Scheveningen beach with CT  SS but decided to skip the torture of ride bike in the super cold & windy weather)... became a part of the huge crowd watching thousands of people skinny dipping in icy cold water at Scheveningen beach the North Sea.Its funny but here in The Hague its a tradition, at 12.00 midday on 1st of January every year people dip in the North Sea and  wait...by paying money, this year it was a 2 Euro contribution and each brave participant was given orange gloves, cap  (before the dip) and a bowl of pea soup (after the dip) all for JUST 2 Euro (dipping, bathing is free otherwise throughout the year....but today it was not)  the whole event was sponsored by some company called Knox…my 1st day of year 2012 started with loads of bang, watching ten thousand people actually dipping in the icy cold water and finished it with reading 4109 lecture slides. Happy New Year, Happy Travelling, happy cooking and happy studying to me the whole year.

How about some fried chicken and Gluhwein tomm.

Fried Chicken with onion, garlic and Machal Apouba....very much my own invention
It's new year time again and as usual  m away from home and family but with my frens here and we plan and will try to make our new years eve celebration as much fun as possible. I am planning to make my fav. fried chicken...loved by my frens here and sisters favorite, another dish invented out of my love for cooking and desperation to have good food. The recipe is really simple and it's easy to cook....and to make our celebration more interesting  we will have Gluhwein, the traditional red wine with spices and orange which is served warm (popular during winter and esp. during Christmas in many parts of Europe)....n I've to admit it's the only alcoholic drink I like....the spices(cinnamon and black pepper) in Gluhwein makes its so non alcoholic  and the best is it doesn't smell like like alcohol at all (I don't really like the smell of alcohol). Happy celebrations to me and enjoy....

Christmas @ Haarlem

I've never enjoyed Christmas as much as I enjoyed today....early morning we went to one of our frens place at Haarlem and attended the mass at the Cathedral in Haarlem with them. It was interesting as I was attending a Christmas mass for the first time in my life. Merry Christmas to me and to you...
