A Leaf From The Past
Don’t grieve at the unkind words of the world. Is it possible to please the people? There are so many tongues, so many talks, so many opinions, so many remarks. This world is a strange mixture of the forces of sattva, rajas and tamas. Tamasic people are in abundance; and, it is their second nature to find fault and pronounce unnecessary criticism. They experience the world through their primitive emotions; their judgement is prejudiced; their natures are small; they are a prey to the sins of sense and perversions of will; they are more governed by ignorance and egoism than by intelligence and light. Therefore, follow the dictates of your own conscience and the promptings of your soul. If you are satisfied, the whole world must be satisfied.

A Delicious Focaccia Sandwich
Ingredients & Procedure
⭐️A Muhammara made with cashews.
⭐️A mango and dried cherries salsa.
Cut up a ripe mango 🥭 and dried cherries. Chop onion 🧅 plus 1 green chili. Put everything in a bowl, sprinkle chopped cilantro and mix with salt.
⭐️ stir fried white onions and yellow pepper. Chop onions length wise and yellow peppers too. Add oil to frying pan. Heat it up. Follow in with onions and yellow pepper. Salt to taste.
⭐️ Cut up a large round brinjal into slices. Salt and rest for 5 mins. Deep fry brinjal slices.
Now bake your own focaccia or buy like I did. I used multi grain multi seed focaccia. Now cut focaccia into squares for sandwiches. Slit across so it can be filled. Toast the focaccia in the air fryer.
Layered on the toasted focaccia. Start with Muhammara. Then add the salsa. Followed by the stir fried onions and yellow peppers. Finally fried brinjal slices.
Excuse me but food writers and makers must tell you how good it was else how will you know 😇
Now dig in. A very toothsome bite!

Peanut Power Snack
I made Tender peanuts power snack for dinner last night. The first time I ate it was at Pegasus. After a rigorous military style workout this and tea super recharging.
With that I have gone back to a memory. Should we go back to memories? Is it possible to forget these memories. Seemingly we don’t attach value to it we might. But this is a physiological thing not just psychological. What is DNA 🧬 if not memories? It gets passed generation to generation. How intrinsic that is to life!
Also memories carry over births. A new born brain is blanked out but associations and experiences as the child grows into adulthood make the memories resurface. So wondering how easy is it to forget? How to delete that data? Especially selective data?
