Excelsior

What exactly is Excelsior?

"Excelsior" derives from the latin dictionary meaning "Upward"...!

The word came into my notice when I watched the movie 'Silverlinings' starring Bradley Cooper, a plot encompassing two beings that strive with a conflict with self, helping each other and with time passing by, they fell in love.

But what's so utterly glimpse grasping about the film is that it inspires you in a way, distinct yet engaging.

Fighting with a mental instability the protagonist Pat combats it for the girl he is smitten by; giving a blind eye to the signals but eventually catching up.

Excelsior is the word you need when life might knock you down, falling on the face!

It's the spirit you need to keep yourself ever upward, ever positive, ever motivated,
No matter what life has wrapped up in the package of surprises, unveiling one after the other!!!

Excelsior means you need to stand firm, fight your fears and let the energy fill you with vigor ready for another battle in row.

Whether you are suffering from an illness, or in a state of depression, or in a mind frame to give up............ Stop right there!

Excelsior is what you need!!!
You might be an Excelsior for someone.

Do not fall apart,
Perseverance will take you to a position one day,
You'll be grateful for, that you didn't gave up, when you had no one, but yourself to see the silver lining.

Watching the good fall in place, letting Excelsior happen.

Remember in the coming days......
Always upward, always high!

CHICK CHICK CHICKEN CUTLETS

Image
Sometimes, I get totally bored by eating chicken thighs, breasts and fillets...... So I tried something ingenious with chicken, I got chicken mince instead of the pieces. Threw some ingredients to it and that tasted like chicken heaven. I had these cutlets with bun, like an Indian burger. Everybody in my house loves it, we have this normally on Sunday mornings.............as its a lethargic rest day for us, so the dish should be heavy and comforting as well. My mother guided me during this experiment, otherwise, I would have made a blunder...!! Because of the supervision, this dish came out perfectly........... with no cutlets left in the plate. Here's the recipe- MIXTURE- half kg chicken minced one onion green chilly 2 chopped coriander a handful chopped finely salt red chilly powder turmeric eggs 2 gram flour(if the mixture doesn't hold in) oil PROCEDURE- heat some oil in a big flat pan mix all the ingredients as mentioned above and make small pat...

TRAVEL TO SOUTH- DOSA, a mid night present.

Image
I live in Maharashtra, nagpur so I can't get authentic dosa's here....:/ boo hoo!! I had authentic dosa's in hyderabad, chennai but its been quite a while. The dosa served there is contrary to what its served here..... :|..... In south viz; andra pradesh, tamil nadu, kerala, Kannada.... The dosa's may vary from state to state, but the flavour what you get there , I never found that here, or in any other place except south. I love south Indian food and culture a lot,I feel a connection cz my mother is telugu...... :-* According to my perception, south indians are conservative, well cultured, educated and dedicated , humble people....... :) Oh I ward off from the main topic here, "dosa". My mother always keeps the batter ready in the fridge for me, as I am quite fussy..!(maybe that's why I am getting fat XD..) Jokes apart, I let the batter stay in the fridge for 4-5 days for fermentation till it gets a hint of sourness to it, I kn...
