Fruit Pani Poori




     The moment we hear about Pani Poori we can’t control ourselves to try that. Its mouth watering & very famous road side snack around India. Pani Poori is also known as Phoochka, Cup Chup & Golgappa in various region of India.

     The word Pani Poori means seasoned water (with the help of sweet tamarind chutney, pani poori masala, jalzeera, & ragda) in small hollow fried round breads. The main stuffing changes according to regions in India, some places we use khara boondi, ragda, potato stuffing & etc. Pani Poori has large demand throughout the year around India & especially in Metro Politian cities such as Mumbai, Chennai, Calcutta, Delhi, & etc. Specially ladies & teenagers are very fond of Pani Poori. These is found in busy places such as Markets, Sea shores, Restaurants & nowadays it is available in Big Malls due to its demand. We will rarely find a person in India who has not tried Pani Poori in his/her entire life.

     So by keeping this in mind we are going to make Pani Poori but not in traditional way. We will be doing some fruity changes in making Pani Poori. Instead of using seasoned water & ragda stuffing, we ll make pani poori with help of fruits & fruit juices.

Ingredients:
Apple: 1 no.

Importance of a day outing.....to know ourselves


                What we are who live in big cities? We all know that everyone who lives in big cities is not a human being but rather just a work machine. Such machines have very basic & boring daily routine, like get up at fixed time, catch a fixed train or bus during a particular time; go to office work for 9 hours a day, 5 days or 6 days a week and work according to company’s vision & mission. We slog ourselves to achieve company’s goals & objectives which helps us to fulfill our own objectives too. We know that if company grows we can grow along with it. After having worked hard for the entire week we look forward for Sunday & we know everyone likes to sleep for long hours on Sunday because of daily boring routine.  And we always wish there could be 2 Sunday’s in a week but that’s not possible. So we spend that according to family demands rather than fulfilling our own desires & we do compromise on our needs, that can be anything social mental or physical. And that’s how we end up with spending Sunday & be ready for the same machine life & we forget that we are a human being. This increases so many unwanted things in our life such as tension, stress, irritation & restlessness & everything leads to several diseases. We start living on tablets rather than healthy food. So many people are losing their mental balance due to this kind of life, especially the top line corporate & executives.

                 Everyone wants to have a happy, successful & secure life but while achieving all these things we forget one thing that we are a human being. To be happy, successful, and secure, we must first learn to see ourselves and the world as they truly are and should then shape our everyday activities in keeping with this view. We must also look for solutions to our problems in terms of the relationship of cause and effect.
                
So come out of that boring life and live a day at least in 3 months for ourselves, where we will not have any restrictions & regulations, simply go for outings, enjoy that day up to its fullest that will refresh our entire body & brain. Go visit different places; know the people who live there, find out their culture cuisine & art. Try to be one of them & live a different life. Find out specialties of that place. Or we can do several other things such as go out to resorts with family, friends or office colleagues spend some quality time with them. This will help us to know them much more in detail & will reduce bitterness if there is any. That will help us to work as a team in office, to achieve the company’s as well as our goals collectively.   


                That will help us to spend the next three months doing the same basic daily routine, along with which we can make our daily life more interesting by doing additional small things which will give us tremendous pleasure & happiness that we are looking from long time.
