Ganapati Bappa Morya 

गणपति बप्पा के आने से पावन हुआ घर आंगन,

हे बृज मोहन प्यारे,

यशोदा के नंदलाले ....

तेरी बांसुरी की धुन लगे न्यारे,

तुझमें बसी है प्रेम के रंग सारे ..

सब तोरे माखन चोर बुलाए ,

तुझसे ही जग में मोह समाए ।।

Heyy Brij ke Mohan pyare,

Tujhme prem k rang dikhaye.

Sab tore makhan chor kehlaaye,

Hindi Poetry

Hindi Kavita

हर रात के बाद सुबह होता है..

और फिर एक दिन,

सुबह का इंतजार करते - करते

शाम हो जाता है ।।

Har raat ke baad subah hota hai..

Aur phir ek din,

subah ka intezaar karte karte

shaam ho jata hai ।।

एक ऐसी ख्वाईश थी जो पल-पल

ख़्वाबों में आती हैं..

ख्वाब में भी ख्वाहिशें करती हैं तू,

जिंदगी तेरी ख्वाबों में जीने लगी है।।

EK AISI KHWAHISH THI JO PAL PAL

KHWAABON MEIN AATI HAI..

KHWAAB MEIN BHI KHWAHISHE KARTI HAI TU,

ZINDAGI TERI KHWAABON MEIN JEENE LAGI HAI !!

ढलती हुई इस शाम को बदलते देखा,
नज़ारे रंग बदलते रहते हैं..
कुछ रिश्तों के नाम बदलते देखा,
रिश्ते भी रंग बदलते रहे हैं ।।

Dhalti hui ye sham ko badalte dekha,
Nazare rang badalte rehte hai..
Kuch rishto ka naam badalte dekha,
Rishtey bhi rang badalte rahe hai ।।

एक ही पौधे के दो फूल, एक है खिला हुआ तो दुजा मुरझाया हुआ धूल ।

एक ही पौधे के दो फूल, एक है खिला हुआ तो दुजा मुरझाया हुआ धूल ।

हर शख्स को ही आजमाता है, कभी सुख कभी दुःख..

किस्मत की लकीरों में होती है कभी छांव तो कभी धूप ।।

EK HI PAUDHE K DO PHOOL, EK HAI KHILA HUA TOH DUJA MURJHAYA HUA DHUL !!

HAR SHAKHS KO HI AAZMATA HAI, KABHI SUKH KABHI DUKH..

KISMAT KI LAKEERON MEIN HOTI HAI KABHI CHAUV TOH KABHI DHOOP !!

Watermelon Mojito Mocktail

Healthy Watermelon Mojito | Watermelon Chia Mocktail🍉

Hello readers, hope I find you at the best of your health. With emerging heat in the atmosphere, we tend to find different ways to beat the heat. Hence, I shall be sharing a very healthy refreshing drink for the summers which can be a great option to tackle the hot weather as well as good for digestion and immunity. Let’s see if you are able to guess this recipe in your mind that I’ll take you through the following pictures and a brief description to read herewith. I’ve used some fruits from season special to make the ultimate summer fruit drink which is perfectly worth a treat for summer special drinks.

I know most of us love summer fruits so much, tropical summer has so many seasonal fruits to offer, and amongst all other fruits I absolutely love mangoes and of course watermelon. With varieties of fruits available in the market in Kolkata, especially from mid-March to June, I’m very fond of selecting my favorites and pick them up in lots to home. I wonder summers just fill my hunger with fruits and I consume a lot less quantity of main course meal in general. And I believe that’s actually a good way to hydrate and rejuvenate the body, as fruits contain more nutrients than cooked meal.

Let’s talk about the recipe I’m sharing today, we are very much familiar with ‘Mojito’ and along with it goes ‘Virgin Mojito’ , Watermelon Mojito or Virgin Watermelon Mojito. Considering the names are similar, the recipes are absolutely different, although a few basic ingredients remain the same. Mojito is a type of drink originated from Cuba, now of course I checked it on google and to be precise I wasn’t so aware of this drink until I had it in one of my club visit and then researched about it. Haha that made me curious to try it out myself at home. I blended some watermelon with mint, pepper powder, sugar, lil salt and lemon juice, did not add any bubbling drink to it and to my surprise this drink actually exists which is known as ‘Virgin Mojito’.

I prepare fusion drinks every now and then with 4-5 ingredients to go with it and everyone just loves it at home. This time I tried to make a mix of mojito and mocktail (mocktail is a non-alcoholic drink). Now you guys may have a question raising in your mind, why is that so a combination of mojito and mocktail? And the answer goes this way, because I used all the key ingredients that mojito has except any alcoholic drink, hence why it can be a mocktail with a few other healthy ingredients added to it, in short it can also be called ‘virgin mojito’. Ah!! And this may sound a lot more confusing.. isn’t it?? 😅

Therefore the name for the recipe I share today is ‘Watermelon Mojito Mocktail’ , or it can also be called as Healthy Watermelon Mojito or Watermelon Chia Mocktail. The addition of chia seeds actually make the drink crunchy in bite, yummy in taste, healthy for the body and refreshing for the soul. Overall the drink is made in a healthy and refreshing way that is ready in moments. This drink is absolutely light, healthier and happier to quench thirst, perfect for a fun-filled healthy summer afternoons or after an outdoor game. I wanted to make this a totally no-sugar drink, however I loved the addition of sugar as it makes the drink sweet, tangy and tastes better to the taste-buds😋
