Beautiful Island Bali,Indonesia


Bali is a beautiful Island in Indonesia.My husband was invited for a conferences in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, some time ago..I visited this beautiful and enchanting place along with him.We can see here old Hindu Temples with beautiful carvings.When my husband was busy in his conference presentations, I went on roaming around the place and  captured some of the moments on a small mobile phone camera.

The town of Ubud has internationally renowned agricultural university> Besides the collegiate campuses, Ubud had thousands of temples and hundreds of small little shops of handicrafts and handlooms of various hues and intricacies. I found that small town was dotted with many Balenese Dance Schools, where several beautiful girls practiced and performed Bali Dance. The temples happened to be their auditoria and temple priests, the patrons of the artisits. I was impressed by the architecture and sculptures at these temples and the beuatiful carvings at the entrances of the temples. While people fondly mention that Bali is a town of thousand temples, we were mesmerised by their impeccable maintenance and preservation efforts. 

I was so happy to be warmly greeted and treated with fondness that i was from India. I was thrilled to know that Balinese people love to watch Indian Hindi movies.They even sing hindi film songs. They asked me so many questions about Bollywood movies.Lovely people.I bought so many art pieces and handicraft items during my stay here.

Every where in Bali we an see these beautiful carvings
This pond was filled by a sudden rain infront of the villa where we stayed. You can notice a Big Ganesha in front of our stay, and this was a common sight at many of the houses and resorts in Ubud.

(Me and my husband)Surprisingly we hunted an Indian Restaurant also near the Agricultural University...
         We were delighted by a platter of delicious Indian vegetarian dishes for lunch on a rainy afternoon!

Sri Krishna Jayanthi / Janmashtami Greetings to all. Though for a majority of India, its a month late, some parts of India, that goes by solar calendar,  is celebrating Sri Krishna Janmashtami on 8th September 2012.  In Manipal, the city where I am living currently is also celebrating this festival in a grand manner this week along with its twin city, the Temple Town,  Udupi. Udupi is known world over for the  Temple of Lord Krishna. As the entire region  is busy along with Udupi  for the celebrations of  birth day of Lord Krishna on the 8th/9th September, I visited  the temple, on the eve of the festival. As usual hundreds of flower vendors and fruit vendors descended and spread themselves across all main streets of the city busily selling them to the devotees and families for their festival preparations.  All families are busy decorating their homes, while devotees thronging the Temple are working through the night decorating it with flowers, colour full lighting and the entire ar

South Indian Filter Coffee

Filter Coffee I like coffee since childhood. I learnt how to make Filter coffee from my mother.My husband also is coffee lover. So my coffee liking continues to influence my present home as well. Filter coffee powder is different from instant coffee powder. In India, Filter coffee powder is sold in coffee shops and in grocery stores. What makes the filter coffee powder unique is the proportionate mixture of ground roasted coffee beans with powdered chicory. Chicory enhances the taste and the smell of coffee. The filter coffee is made using an instrument called the coffee filter. The filter brews coffee into a fine dicoction. The coffee filter is made of two cups:(upper one fits onto the lower one.) 1. Upper cup is like a filter(with pierced base) for filtering out the brewed coffee. The upper cup usually comes with a lid and 2. Bottom cup to collect the decoction(brewed coffee) Today i will show you how to make Indian filter coffee. I have used a tradit
