4 weeks in India, my conclusion

4 weeks in India, that sounds long. But it wasn´t at all and the farewell was very difficult for me, most of all from my friends of course. I´m still missing the colours, the smell and sounds, the crowded streets and the food! Oh how I miss the food!! The stay was full packed with various impressions. Fascinating, exciting, breath taking, beautiful, overwhelming. I actually had no bad experiences, apart from the Hyderabad trip, which was a bit disappointing. I never felt unsafe or have been in any dangerous situation. I guess being always accompanied by indians was quite helpful and maybe also my height was, I´m 6  feet...

Aloo Gobi Ki Sabji (Potato, Cauliflower dry Curry)

A week without indian food? Impossible for me. ;) But what to cook then? Chicken again?  Well, I love chicken but somehow I needed something else. And it doesn´t have to be meat always.  So I choosed something veggie. I´m a veggie lover too and eat almost everything.  When I went for shopping I saw this cute small caulifower and so the decision was taken. It will be Aloo Gobi, it´s quite a while that I had that dish.  It´s one of the most famous indian meals and easy to make. Wanna try it? Ingredients: 1 small cauliflower 1 medium potato 1 small onion 2 medium tomatoes 2 tsp ginger...

Hyderabad - Never rely on someone else... India- part 5

The last destination should have been Hyderabad then. Expectations were high of course. Golconda fort...Charminar.... And it was high time to meet Lidia again after 3 weeks, since she was staying in Hyderabad all the time... So I was really looking forward to that trip. Again we organised bus tickets to Hyderabad and left on a friday evening. The bus was early again and just dropped us to another bus stop. There it looked like each and every travel agency has their office there and hundreds of busses were trying to find a parking lot, to turn around and to get all their passengers inside the busses. It was so crowded and busy.....

Purple, the last attempt?

Definitely not. Well, at least not for me.  There have been said many things about this colour. It´s the colour of the unsatisfied woman and of absistence.  A too intense violett can lead to melancholy. Well, in my case I can´t second anything of that.   In any case it´s the colour of women. Most of all in the 70´s it was very popular and standing for self-confidence, independence and self-determination. And that all matches me well ;)  used products:   -Primer Soft-Nail-Expert -Bonding gel-Jolifin Studioline -Multiglitter from Jet Set -Selex Gel thick from Jolifin -Cleaner -Nail-Expert -Stamping...
