Self-Discipline.

aveekoiqbalneep

Self-discipline is not an inbuilt-default feature in humans. It comes with utmost dedication, hard work and control.

Many simply brush away the topic of self – discipline like it is a non-important matter. But when time comes, it is what matters the most.

Getting up early in the morning and on a daily basis is one of the first steps of being self-disciplined in a man’s life.

It is a subject which needs to be dealt with a firm and strict hand. Students who lack self-discipline, often go astray and lead a life which is full of indiscipline and subsequently leads to degradation and monotony in studies and in other matters such as sports, extracurricular activities.

Technology which has many good sides has a bad side too. Students, pupils, men and women who become hooked to technology such as mobile games, computer games, watching continuous television and being 24×7 on social media become more and more away from reality and get embedded in the virtual world.

Being able to be self-dependant is a very important and good achievement in itself and walking on its path is what keeps a man in his own sphere and dimension.

Self is a very small part of this world but in itself its dimensions are never ending. Discipline and good health, helps to keep it in shape, without which there is a big chance wherein the self might get lost in itself.

It is a serious thing and ponder over it a bit and if possible try to make yourself self-disciplined.

Adios.

Strawberry milkshake with Sweet Vanilla Cream.

Strawberry as a fruit is not liked by many. Though they are world famous. But truth be told, most people avoid them. On the contrary, strawberry milkshakes are world famous. They feature just below and second in rank to chocolate milkshakes.

So, at a juice center which had a small storefront to it, we ordered for two tall glasses of strawberry milkshakes. After placing the order, we sat down and nearly seven-eight minutes later, the waiter served us the milkshakes. But what a splendid surprise was there waiting for us.

The strawberry milkshake was topped with sweet vanilla cream. With a wooden spoon we nibbled of the cream bit by bit and simultaneously sipped the milkshake with the straw given. The moment its quantity got a bit lower in the glass, the cream too slided down with it.

The whole thing was full of fun and when we were halfway through with our milkshake, the waiter brought four complimentary buns which were medium buttered and had a slight flavour of cumin in them. The butter in between the bun made it fun to eat and we ordered for four more such buns to take them home.

The strawberry was chilled, excellent for our health and brilliant to drink. We hope to go there soon again and order for the same milkshake.

A Visit To A Water Melon Farm.

Water melon farms are huge. Spread over a vast area of land and there only water melons are available. While walking around the field you feel the fruit growing and when it gets ready, I think the farmers must have a hard time collecting them, as each piece of water melon weighs as heavy as a ten kilogram dumbbell. At the most you can carry two heavy weight watermelons together in your hands.

A big watermelon farm had been recently built and after a few months of its inauguration, word spread out that the farm was excellent and the melons were ripe now, so it was a beautiful place to visit and the experience and knowledge it provided was something which you couldn’t learn by watching a video.

After a week went by, we decided to visit that farm and at ten o’clock in the morning, we reached the farm and from the main gate the main farming area was located nearly two hundred meters inside and as we reached the original farm the view was stunning. The water melons had grown in large sizes and the scene looked gloriously beautiful. We spent an hour and a half there and soon as it was time for lunch, we left the farm with good memories and happily went back home.

A Banyan Tree in a Vast Estate.

aveekoiqbalneep

In a large estate which was spread over acres and acres of land, a banyan tree stands there. It is a huge tree which gives a feeling of pride, dignity, fellowship and respect. The tree was old and had a grand look about it. If anyone ever saw that tree, they would never ever forget it.

Sometimes birds, dogs and small ducklings would play around it as there was a nearby lake and the mali or caretaker of that estate would get very angry if he found anyone even attempting to do fishing there. The estate belonged to a family and a small boy would come over there every summer to spend time. Now that estate doesn’t remain but the times and the banyan tree remains.

Skewered Seekh Kebab with Pudina Chutney.

aveekoiqbalneep

Ma, baba and me, we were walking down a street where scores and scores of kebabs are sold on the streets. The nights are a bit cold due the incoming winter season. But when walking down that street you wouldn’t feel even an ounce of coldness as the tandoors are always running at the full speed and the cook and the waiter wouldn’t give you a run down of the menu plus they are continuously sweating from heat. It sometimes feels as if by magic the names of the kebabs would be known to you. Mostly the name and fame of any kebab shop spreads by mouth and people generally go to such shops with friends and as always there would be an all knowing friend who would describe and name the kebabs for you.

So, looking at those kebabs, I found that my insides were 50% empty,therefore, I asked ma and baba to buy kebabs, plus we hadn’t had any tea and snacks in the evening. There wasn’t a huge rush but the men behind the counter were so busy that, it took atleast five minutes before a person took down our order.

I was waiting outside with ma and dad came and told us that he had placed the order. Now we simply had to wait. Ten minutes had gone, yet our kebabs were nowhere to be seen. Then suddenly a waiter came out a placed three plates on the table infront of us and he said-“aapke kebabs” (meaning your kebabs). When you place your order at any street side restaurant, what happens is that you have to eat your food standing and if  flies disturb you while you are having your food then it gets very irritating. So, as soon as we started eating the kebabs with the pudina chutney provided, we found out two things. They are:-

  1. The seekh kebabs were extremely hot and the chutney was tangy.

2.There were no flies to disturb only the incessant and constant honking of cars.

The kebabs turned out to be beautiful. They were cooked to near perfection, tender to eat with the chutney serving as a tantalizingly tangy base to it.

After having the kebabs we had a cup of masala tea each. Our evening became as serene as the walk near the Corniche, which was once very near to our house.
