Variety is the sPicE of Life..

Theme: Sports with variety cuppa and gourmet dishes

Its cricket fever going on... and what would be better than lazeez (aka delicious) dishes on the plate, drinks and lots of screaming and cheering to enjoy the very game cricket.

IPL season is on and that definitely calls for a party.. watching with friends and family is an awesome way to bond with them when you are really not able to take out time for them out of your work and IPL schedule.
 
We all have some favorites be it teams or players... since today is the finals i have thought of bonding with my friends by organizing an IPL bash at MY PLACE, which is today.


Ambience, jaisa des waisa bhes-
Boss cricket hai to thoda chirpy, loud mahol to banta hai. I have the flat screen and the big speakers with surround sound. To match cricket I have decided on desi theme at home; from cushion covers to utensils ..all will be typically desi  and lights dim.

Entertainment, shuru kiya jaye-
Any party is incomplete without good music, so have got a good collection from the winning songs to the desi mix of punjabi, bolly, funky south indian tracks and pop songs with high beats. During the match, guessing game between the guests has been planned like who will hit how many sixes or fours, who will take the next catch, targets etc; for which the winner will be awarded by a cheer and an extra glass of beverage to cheers.
Have also planned to arrange for drums and bugles and asked my guests blow their trumpet when their team is on the winning spree.

Dress Code, soot boot mein aaya kanhaiya band bajane ko-
Ab itna sab kiya hai toh dress code to banta hai. To enjoy more and to show our support for our respective favorite teams, to come in sync with IPL masti, I have decided to keep the dresscode i.e. team specific jerseys..paired wid anything like skirts, pyjamas, jeans, shorts etc. Funky jewelley, caps, face paints, funky hairdos are allowed too.

KhaNa kHzaanA-
Good Music and Good Food makes a party rock. And when it comes to good food who can beat Kitchens of India. To satisfy the hunger caused by continuous cheering, screaming and fights among pals over teams and lots of dancing, I have decided on some in-between snacks and full meal once the match is over. Snacks like pizzas, finger chips, sizzlers, popcorns, starters like paneer tikka & mushroom basket; desi vada pav and samosas and in beverages hot and cold coffe, dew and fanta.. kuch thanda, kuch garam!! Aur full on masti k baad real pet pooja with hot Mirch ka Salan, Paneer Darbari, Dal Bukhara, Noormahal Biryani and Tandoori and Rumali roti. Would like to add dessert too at the end.. jeet huyi toh kuch meetha ho jaye Jodhpuri Moong Dal Halwa.
 
Ant bhala toh sab bhala-
Party toh ek bahana haimaksad toh friends ke saath samay bitana hai aur achcha achcha khana hai.

Hoping to Have a blast!!!

May the best team win..... :)

जज़्बा...

क्षितिज  को  आंखों  में  बसा  सकते  हैं,
उसकी  ख़ूबसूरती  बखूबी  निहार  सकते  हैं!
अगर  हो  जज़्बा  सपने पूरे  करने  का,
क्षितिज तक  की  दूरी  भी  मिटा  सकते  हैं!!

In Romanagiri (for people who can't read in hindi) -
Khsitij ko aankhon mein basa sakte hain,
uski khoobsurti bakhubi nihar sakte hain!
Agar ho jazba sapne poore karne ka,
Kshitij tak ki doori bhi mita sakte hain!!
क्षितिज - horizon
जज़्बा - passion
