Dancing Water
What does the gentle yet cold spring breeze inform the water?
Catch the sunlight and glow, throbbing in mystical iridescence?
Catch it now, here and there, some bit there...
Catch it...now
Blind the viewer with the power of light, like a spell.
Let him witness that brief diamonds can be found in unknown waters.
Let him feel enamored, Dazzle him with shine, 
Can he attune himself to this play?
Let him behold, encounter what wind, water and light can stir together.
The mountains of Neelgiri is named so because of the blue wild flowers called Neelkurunji. Here is a video of me doing a watercolour using a reference photo.

The most underrated fruit in India, the Jackfruit. Well it’s the season and here is my version of the recipe. Throughout the Indian states, summer brings in a whole lot of delicacies, and raw jackfruit curry is a seasonal delight that I have been having since my childhood.
Jackfruit flesh when tender resembles meat and this recipe is primarily replacing meat with raw boiled jackfruit.
In south India, in the state of Kerala and Karnataka, jackfruit is found in abundance. It use to be a favourite backyard tree along with mango when the large spaces of Bangalore transitioned into a settler's paradise.
I am very intrigued by the sweet seeds of jackfruit that are quite popular as well. If you walk the bylanes of Bangalore city you will find a mobile cart selling the seeds kept in a glass box as it attacks whole fruit flies and also ferments very fast. 
Wondering if it’s a good ingredient for fermented brew?

Note I missed out a step between step 2 and 3 where we add the boiled/steamed jackfruit cubes.
