Curd Paratha/Dahi ke Paratha

Finding your inner peace......When our mind is pure then the joy follows like a shadow that never leaves us. We are so busy with our daily routine, sometimes we tend to miss out on basic acts like being kind, affectionate, gratitude etc.

I think lockdown has taught us a good lesson - nature has its own way of dealing with things and we must honour it. 

We learnt to live every moment as if there was no tomorrow. Many of us get trapped with the past and future - always cribbing about things or planning well ahead.....

Best is to focus on the present - else we will miss out on most of our life. Thankful to be awake every morning - just plan the day, live each day and cherish every moment! 

I hope this will lead us to a meaningful life :)!

So today we knock up another dish here....Curd Paratha and mooli Raita.
