over the weekend

the week has gone by so fast... its hard to believe its already the 15th of November... only  a few weeks away from Christmas...!! this weekend is no different than the others... just watched more movies than i usually do...
 i love to start my day with a hot cup of  black tea... especially on a wet,cold and cloudy day... and when one is prone to catching cold, black tea with ginger is therapeutic...:-)
so i took my brother Chamgai along for shopping... @ my favourite hang out. it was very pleasant so we decided to walk back home after we've done our shopping.... as you can see the clouds have dispersed the crowd much earlier than the usual days... from the road...
hmm, this makes me sad... i wonder why its so hard for people to understand... poor cows have to feed on such spoils, unlike the cows back at home town, in the countryside... where they have plenty of greens to satisfy them. i tell you there's a lot of differences in the taste of the meat as well. meat from the country cows is much richer and tastier... besides,scenes like this can easily turn one into a pure vegetarian... and i might as well stop eating beef myself... at least till i get back home... haha...
well, its sad to say but this is how our lane looks like at the moment... left end of the lane is where i live... wonder how the bikers mustered their strength to get in there... lol... i'm seriously hoping they complete the construction soon... oh, save our shoes...!!
oh yeah, we picked up a bottle of Pepsi on the way back. i strongly disagree with whats written on the bottle "Rs 20 mein plenty" meaning you get plenty for just 20 bucks...:-)
 and i got dried tiny fishes as well,  to try my hands on a kind of dish mom prepares... its best known as 'kangsoi' in manipuri... its in fact one of the most famous dishes in Manipur... simple to make,very healthy and nutritious. it only involves boiling the vegetables thoroughly like we prepare soup... tip the dry fish into it, in addition to two/ three small green chillies,anions, garlic and a little bit of ginger... and add a pinch of salt to it. trust me this is very simple... the process takes just 10-15 minutes and voila... your meals is served....
this is what the evening sky has to present! oh how i hate gravity... i wish i could spread my wings and fly over the blue horizon.... beyond the grey clouds and soar high... and meet my Lord... i seriously wish i could do that... but such a thing isn't possible.. is it?? not until He declares 'its time'.
and... i almost forgot... i lost my flash drive  two weeks back and have been handicapped... so a sweet sweet friend of mine bought this one and presented me this evening.... isn't he thoughtful...? thank you so very much  Ashish... you're the best and i love you!!

i hope your weekend was great too!! may all have a very blessed week ahead... be blessed and happy...
God loves you all sweet friends...!!
