And there are gentlemen..

Keeping in mind a few recent events.. My first post acclaimed quite strong reviews and opinions from both genders likewise..
And as I mentioned earlier there are gentlemen.. I thought it would be nice to have a good post on how many of them are not only handsome outside but really chivalrous on the inside..
So while I was on my way back home yesterday , I blacked out while I was driving .. And made me stop On the middle of the road .. And I felt a mild thud on the rear.. Thanks to the presence of mind of the mister driving behind.. While I still was half blur.. This guy comes to me.. And rather than shouting his gut out.. He asks me if needed help..
I was half as fine just then..
He gets bottle of water and parks the car for me.. And that was the sweetest gesture I've seen from fellow car owners driving along side.. Where 90% would just say "ladki chala rahi hai" ( girl is driving)
Grateful to these guys who are not judgemental
Who help you out of the most genuine gesture and most importantly who dont want anything else from you ..
Overwhelmed that he dint complain..and more than saying sorry I was only thankful ..
While I'm going to find out if I have specs (x_x)
You guys take a moment to tell me if you have ever received genuine help from strangers ..

recipe - tossed green salad

Hi everyone
I am testing a few recipes..
And with mumbai summers you want to eat something light and hydrating.. The sun practically soaks everything out of you..

Ingredients
Lettuce : romaine & iceberg
Baby spinach
Red cabbage
Arugula
7-8 cherry tomatoes
Slices of green apple

Dressing
2 tbsp pesto
1tsp Vinegar
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp Grated Parmesan
Freshly ground pepper
Salt as per taste

Take your greens and just tear them..into medium sized irregular pieces..you could also use sheers
Add the tomatoes and apple slices to it
You could replace the cherry tomatoes with sun dried tomatoes..and also add a few pieces of croutons..
I have not sliced the tomatoes as I dint want the juice to make the salad soggy
Toss the pesto ..and mix well with hands..I like to feel the food I eat..and it would even mix evenly
Now I'd suggest dissolve the sugar with the vinegar.. As there are changes it will not dissolve if added separately .. N u may get that crunch in the bite
Salt and pepper to taste..
Very little grated Parmesan just sprinkled on top
P.S : add the dressing just when you are about to eat..this will help your greens to remain crunchy.. And preferably keep everything refrigerated..for the crispyness :)

Pesto

Ingredients
Handful arugula leaves
Handful basil
7-8 cashew nuts
1-2 cloves of garlic
Few drops of lemon
2-3 leveled tbsp Olive oil

Blend all the ingredients together in a blender to make a smooth- semi liquid paste . add more oil ONLY if u want to preserve the pesto for longer days.. The proportion above will only be enough for the salad..

I hope you enjoy the salad as much as I did .. Please let me know..leave a feed back or comment as when you need help
We are new on the blog..and we are starting with simple things..help us grow..

PMS ??!!

There couldn't have been a better day to start a blog.. I plan to write more about food experiences.. And men.. And more experiences..the cherry on my pie..
Today comes to me as a day of strong emotions.. While most men think this is the pms-ing stage.. Well Im rather not .. I just believe in standing up for myself..as we dont have body guards.. I believe we bombay women are warriors .. We fight we stand.. We are hurt yet we fight again..
Coming back to the main point.. Why is that when women fight for their right .. Men have to say she is pms-ing or she hasn't had a good night ( u know what I mean )
I met this arrogant stranger at maroosh today. He was with wife n parents n 2 kids as well.. Asking me vacate a table as I was in couple on rather big table.. He was not polite but I still gave the table to him looking at his his kids n old father.. Loud n rude he being.. I asked him to chill.. I tell the waiters that its their duty to get things sorted.. Your customer can't yell at me.. This man comes and tells me " I guess u are pms-ing girl..dont create a scene.." And so on n on this whole war with the man not so man enough went..a beautiful dinner rather spoilt..
But my question to all you people is..do men PMS as well ?? Or is it just indian men..that feel that shouting an insulting a woman makes them victorious..
Why is that when women seek righteousness its PMS and when men behave like insecured mcps its man hood..
Aren't the men pms-ing as well ..
Only one lady in the whole restaurant stood up to me tonight to say pls do t waste your moment..respect to her
Today in the wake of the night.. I m sure we all have gone through this once in mumbai.. A man acting like a complete douche-bag..abuse..verbal or physical..
And all u men out there who r real gentlemen...must have faced some lady who insulted you and put you to shame in public for no reason ..
I'm not a feminist dont read me such..but opening post has been such coz of incidents that shake me..make me stronger..
Thank you for reading up till here.. And I'd love to see and read what u feel about the same.. Pls pls feel free to post a comment
P.S : no offence !!
