My favourite food in the world

 



A plate of hot pancakes drizzled with Buckwheat Honey might be the most loved food item of the planet.

Lately, I have been loving breakfast. And by that I mean, lately, I have been loving getting up, making coffee, and whipping up a batch of these pancakes. Making a few (eating the first one I make, hot off the pan!), sticking the rest of the batter in the fridge (it keeps for 3 days!), slathering some homemade peanut butter in the middle of two that made it to the plate, slapping on a few banana slices, topping with the second pancake, a few more sliced bananas and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Did I mention that these are amazing with fresh blueberries and/or strawberries?? Yeah. Done deal, people! Get your spatulas ready, pans hot, and appetite ready. Enjoy!

Note: you can easily double or triple this recipe. This recipe was adapted from the buckwheat pancake recipe in Honey and Spice, my first natural foods cookery book that I snagged from a used book store about 12 years ago! Good stuff…indeed. You can easily make the whole batch in one go, cool pancakes, then wrap and refrigerate for easy breakfasts or snacks. I like to toast mine, and top as desired.

My favourite travel destination in India

   Camping in Rishikesh might be the perfect vacation for some people but not me.   We spent a lot of time just walking the street of Rishikesh. The mystical environment give you the feeling of inner peace, just by being there and breathing in the city!  The holy river Ganga, the Sadhus, the Yoga, the international tourists  that mingle here like locals and the  Hindu mythology ! There is just so much to absorb and imbibe here, that just a day can feel like  a trip of the lifetime . And that’s what I recently did, a one day trip to Rishikesh. And trust me, it was the best! As everyone knows, Rishikesh is famous as the  Hindu Pilgrimage town  and is regarded as one of the holiest places in the Hindu Culture. Rishikesh is located in the foothills of the  Himalayas  in northern India, it is known as  The Gateway to the Garhwal Himalayas . It is a part of Uttrakhand, and is around 45 km from Dehradun, the state capital. Rishikesh ...

  You can either practise some Natural Health Tips or workout at home using some basic equipment like skipping ropes, dumbbells, etc.  Dr. Giuseppe (Bepi) Raviola, director of mental health at Partners In Health, put together a list of key practices to maintain good mental and emotional health for those asked to stay at home in efforts to prevent further spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19 .   As we enter this new and unprecedented phase of the pandemic, we are inundated with guidelines about how to keep ourselves and our families healthy and virus-free. Yet a key item on the list—social distancing—poses unprecedented challenges to our mental and emotional well being, and requires consideration. The risk may be especially high for our children, who are suddenly cut off from school and friends. How do we as individuals and parents cope without driving ourselves and each other crazy? It’s a question that mental health...

Why Indore is the best city in India

Image
  I did my Internship in Indore and I feel it’s the best city in India. I ndore has been crowned the cleanest city in the country for the fourth time in a row this year. The single most important reason for Indore bagging this title is the combined efforts of the city’s people, its public representatives and government officials. Indore’s journey is inspiring, and the steps it took are now being followed by many cities in India and across the globe. When Indore started working towards this in 2016, it had many challenges to face. Municipal waste management systems and processes were not in place, and infrastructure was negligible. There were no material recovery facilities, transfer stations and processing units. Composting facilities were non-operational. The unorganised trenching grounds had over 13 lakh tons of legacy waste, which were causing methane-induced fires, bad odour, and attracted disease-causing insects. Only about 5 per cent of the city saw door-...
