The man who slayed off engineers and doctors

Surfing internet makes almost 99% of my life. As I was surfing through, I noticed it was 'National Superhero day', so yeah... thought of writing about a superhero on the blog.

While deciding on the person to focus on, a dilemma set in - one being my mother who I consider to be the best cook or some random cook from whom I never had the privilege of their cuisine. Through all this, one chef stood out, it was Sanjeev Kapoor.

Being an amateur commerce student, the only thing I know is to do the pros and cons table to finalize the winner between my mom an Sanjeev Kapoor... and as the title suggests, you know the rest.

Now, why my mom lost ?
She passed 12th grade with minimum support and was forced to household chores along with cooking. Cooking became her passion only after some time. To add to the cons, she did not really make a difference, she accepted the expectations of the society and took the kitchen with no other options left, but Sanjeev Kapoor stands out, in a society where male members are expected to be engineers and doctors, this man did something out of the normal and proved all those "intellectual" grey haired loons wrong.

Sanjeev Kapoor started in hospitality industry in 1984 with a diploma in Hotel management form the Institute of Hotel management, New Delhi. He then worked in many hotels and made his name. He also won several awards and owns the food food channel along with successful running of Khana Khazana which is the longest running show of its kind in Asia.

What makes him so special ?
Sanjeev Kapoor was a well off student during his time in high school. He always stole the spot somewhere in the top 5 of his school. He was interested in biology and way too good at maths with 99% in math. What makes him special is that he did not write any of those IIT tests or any such stuff and applied for architecture. That is when his friend told him about Hotel management. He filled the form despite being uncertain of his choice. To his dilemma, he got seats for both courses, but he chose Hotel management over architecture. Today, his decision made him not only rich but also famous. He is the man behind the idea of cooking on TV.



His story is an inspiration to those who feel bad that they did not get science stream as well as for those who lost interest in science stream. His story teaches us that every decision made precise can make you successful while teaching our parents that engineers and doctors are not the only career choices.

Make wise choices !
Until next time

Here is my first attempt at doing a podcast with a synthesizer, I think it sounds good but I'd love to know what you thing in the comment section below !

Coolers on the way!!

Heyy guys!! i hope u all are doing fine ...im extremely sorry for not writing on regular basis and being unpunctual was a bit caught up wid home chores and family! but do not worry i will make it up to u guys as u all are soo supportive and encourage us to write more each day.

As most of you must be knowing im a resident of Dubai but a north indian (originating from Delhi) coolers like nimbu pani(lemonade), meethi lassi(sweetened buttermilk), khus sherbat and aamras (mango pulp syrup) are a very comman part of my daily life. (to all the indians out there, guyss chai too!! but we talking about coolers here! :P)

Lets talk in deatail!!

Nimbu Pani:

This is one of the most comman thirst quenchers of the world. the lemon minty flavour with crushed ice undoubtedly is the best combination to relax your body and calm your mind from your daily life stress. (yess its my favourite! whats yours??)

Meethi lassi: *(all the punjabis out there your most welcome to skip this part!!)

okaii soo this drink is very comman in a punjabi household,its made of fresh buttermilk and sugar syrup to keep a good balance of flavours as usually punjabi food is filled with spices like red chillis,green chillis ,black pepper and so on. 

khus sherbat:

this is one of the coolers of ancient times (mughal rule),its a dark green syrup with a woodsy flavour and scent.Its made from the extract of vetiver grass or the "khus grass." (Its pretty famous in mumbai guys!)

Aamras

This is a very comman dessert in a rajasthani or a gujrati household specially during festivals.its made of fresh mango pulp with added sugar syrup. its either eaten with chappatis(flatbread) or just plain alongside dinner.(its very thick to be known as a drink but as we are talking about coolers this has to be mentioned!)

Soo i hope you enjoyed reading and you can let us know what you would like to know about in the comment section below!! and also a big thank you for being such wonderful readers and encouraging us to keep writing.

your friend,
