The Chronicles Of #BeautifulFood...

It Was One Of Those Days...

Of Congratulations And Celebrations...

~~~

When The Entire Family Had Gathered...

On The Occasion Of...

Commemorating My Biggest Win...

So Far, In The Blog-o-Sphere...

~~~

Of Course, It Had To Be!

When There's Family Backing You Up...

In Whichever Venture Of Life...

You Ought To Emerge Victorious!

~~~


Precisely, My Point...

~~~

It's Indeed A Cloud Nine Moment...

To Make One's Mark...

To Be Adjudged One Of The Best...

Out Of The Crowd...

~~~
And, when my Family had been involved, ever since Day 1...

The Celebration HAD To Be Grand...

~~~

From That Day to This Day...

When...

This Arrived...

On The Eve Of Eid...

July 28, 2014...

Quarter To 5...


~~~

That Was My #BeautifulFood Moment...

~~~

Having Received Such An Exquisite Hamper...

To Adorn My Culinary Creations...

And, Make My Food...

#BeautifulFood...

~~~

Come, July 29...

This was what adorned my Twitter...



~~~

Sheer Khurma, is an annual delicacy, prepared by Yours Truly...

On the pious occasion of Eid, each year, without fail.

But, This Time...

It attained superlative pinnacles...

Because...

It did not remain just Food...

It became #BeautifulFood! ^_^

~~~

Sheer Khurma, The Velvety Vermicelli...
A Delectable Delight - Oh So Heavenly!

The Ever Unmatched Pride Of The Festival Of Eid...
Topped With Almonds, Cashews, Raisins, Elaichi...

The Perfect Companion For The Perfectly Presented Food...
Is That Perfect Glassware From Borosil - #BeautifulFood...

And, So, It Was Imperative, Elementary At The Most...
In My Mixing Bowl, Each Layer, Distinct...
Of This Masterpiece, I Could Rightfully Boast! ^_^

~~~

Because...

As They Say...

अच्छे काम की शुरुआत मीठे से करनी चाहिए।

~~~

And...

After That...


#BeautifulFood का कारवां बढ़ता गया...


और Dishes जुड़ती गईं! :)


~~~

And, On The Next Day ...

Came...




~~~

When effort attains recognition...

It is a moment of achievement...

~~~

And, to hear words of gratitude and encouragement...

From A Brand Name...

Which Has Been The 'Heart-Throb'...

Of Many A Culinary Delights...

And, On Many A Special Occasions...

Not Since Today...

But, Since A Decade...
For Me, And My Family...


~~~

The next few days...
Pre-occupied my Right Hemisphere's Creative Abilities...

To give this opportunity my best shot...

Was A MUST. :)

~~~

And...

I Returned...

On Friendship Day...

With My Batch Of Freshly Prepared...

Articulately Presented...

#BeautifulFood...

~~~

After All...

'Foodie Friends' Applies Not Only To Us...

But To Gastronomic Delights As Well!

Absolutely Who Could Dare...

To Overlook Tea - Time Comrades?!

These...



~~~

When It's The Day To Celebrate Friendship...
You Cannot Overlook The BFF's...

Be It Your BFF's...
Or, Be Them In The Land Of #BeautifulFood...

Of Course, You Have To Acknowledge...
The Salty And The Sweet...

My Crispy Soyabean Cups...
And, The Melt-in-the-Mouth Tutti - Fruti!

Oh Who! Oh Who!
Could Be So Heartless...

To Refuse Them, When Placed...
In #BeautifulFood Gourmet Bowls? ;)

~~~

The inquisitiveness of Team Borosil...

Kept Inspiring Me To The Helm...

To Come Up With Ever-so-Novel Dishes...

With Even Newer Styles Of Presentation...

~~~

And, Being A Working Woman...

Sunday Works Wonders...

I Get To Spend The Most Time...

In My 'Kreative Kitchen'...

With My #BeautifulFood...

~~~

This...

Was Prepared...

As A Tribute To My Mother's Magical Cooking...

On A Leisurely Sunday...



An Innovation Dedicated To My Mother's Efforts...
Which Were Magically Effortless...

My Innovation, An Attempt...
To Prepare A Sweet Medley...

The Pumpkin Cashew Halwa...
Food Bursts With Bouts Of Joy...

To Have A New - Found Love...
To Become Borosil's #BeautifulFood...

An Inviting Look, A Happy Face...
Served In My Artsy Bowl! :D

Two Days Hence...

Look I Came Up With...

Self - Praising #BeautifulFood...



Do You Notice The Color Coordinated Baby Umbrellas To Match Your Refreshers? ;)

The Same Day...

You Had To Prepare To Embrace...

My Version Of McD's Soft-Serve...

See...


~~~

How Do You Like These Delicacies?
All In My Clear Visions?

Come Over Some Day...
To Savor Them Personally Too...

Yesterday, Was A Day...

The Family Went On A Food - Spree...

With An Amalgamation Of Three Different Cuisines...

The Tweets Speak For Themselves! ^_^

~~~

~~~

And, For The Last Lap Of My Attempts...

I Prepared These...

Today!

Look, Which Novelty I Came Up With...
You've Heard Of Chicken Biryani, For Sure...

But, Ever Heard Of Stuffing Biryani Into Boneless Chicken?
That Is My Chicken Teba For You...

And, Leave With You, My Equally Heavenly Suji Halwa...

Topped With Cashews And Almonds To Please...

Transformed Into #BeautifulFood, By Borosil...

For The Umpteenth Time...

Forever And Ever! ^_^


~~~

As All My Readers Would Have Noticed...

My Presentation Is Sans Any Fancy Frills...

As, I Wholeheartedly Believe...

'Simplicity Is The Glory Of Expression'...

And That...

The Ultimate Beautification For My Food...

Would Be My Borosil, Solely...

Borosil Glassware...

And, Nothing Else...

Made My Food...

#BeautifulFood...

Venturing Into Culinary Expression...
Was An Enriching Experience...
For These Ten Days...
And Will Continue To Be So...

Till Eternity...

The Curtain Raiser For #WhatTheBlack!

Top post on IndiBlogger.in, the community of Indian Bloggers

~~~

Yes.

Today, 2 August 2014.

The Day.

When.

The Mystery Had To Be Revealed.

The Product Had To Be Unveiled.

The Curtains Of Intrigue.

The Curtains Of Suspense.

Had To Be Raised.

~~~

Rightfully So.

With Bated Breath.

I Eyed The Doorbell.

~~~

And.

It Rang.

At The Time It Should Have.

12 Noon. :)

~~~

What Did I Receive, You Ask?


Another Black Box...

The Only Difference?

This Time...

It Was Not Another Clue To #WhatTheBlack...

But The...


~~~

Without Any Delay, Whatsoever...

And With My Fingers Crossed...

I Opened This #WhatTheBlack Treasure Chest...

Was It Indeed Charcoal The Black?

Would My Sleuth Skills Bear Fruit?

What I Found.

Is...


IT WAS.

INDEED.


~~~

The Super Sleuth-ing Was Superb Indeed...

Thanks To All Friends Who Played Along... :)

~~~

My Joy Knew No Bounds...

To Have Realized...

That I Had Successfully Predicted...

The Product To Be Launched...

9 Hours In Advance Of The Actual Product Launch.

And, Surely, Among The First Few...

To Have Achieved The Feat! :)

~~~

It Was Indeed A Pleasure...

To Hold In Hand...

The Same Product...

Which I Had Placed My Bet On.

At 14:54 Hours, Yesterday...


~~~

When I Came To My Calm Self...

Moments Later,

I Realized...

That There Could Be More To The Tooth Brush Than Just THE Tooth Brush...

~~~

Just Like The Newspaper Had More To It, Than Just The News...

Remember, When We'd Revealed The Mastermind Behind #WhatTheBlack!?


On RECORD. ^_^

~~~

And I Was Right...

Both Then, And Now...

THIS.

Was The Complete #WhatTheBlack Package...



~~~

Let's Zoom In A Little...

On Charcoal The Black's Brochure...

What Does It Say, Mr. Magnifier?


17X Slimmer Tip Bristles.
(vs ordinary end-rounded bristles)
Charcoal Infused.

Micro Slim - Tip Bristles.
Charcoal Infused Bristles.

~~~

And...

As Always...

There Was A Note...

~~~

The Only Difference...

This Time.

It Did Not Puzzle.

IT THANKED.

Have A Look...


~~~

Surely, It IS.

Charcoal Slim - Soft Is An Innovation...

Among The Existing Range Of Oral-Care Products.

~~~

Coming From The No. 1 Tooth Brush Brand In India.


Marketed By The One With Strategic Brand Marketing Ideas.


Brought To Us, Bloggers, Through The #WhatTheBlack Activity By

I've Been Using Colgate's Products Since Long...

And, I Can Vouch For Their Innovation, Quality And Durability...

~~~

Priced At An Affordable Rs. 60.

And, Boasting Of The Properties Of Charcoal.

Charcoal Slim - Soft, Is Rightly, Going To Be...

My NEW Tooth Brush From Tonight! :)

~~~

#WhatTheBlack Is Now Colgate Charcoal, The Black. ^_^

~~~

When #WhatTheBlack Had Begun...

Not On July 30, When We Received The Black Egg.

Not On July 26, Either, When The Mails Were Sent.

#WhatTheBlack Had Begun On July 15.

When Applications Were Invited From Interested Bloggers...

For #WhatTheBlack Activity.

~~~

From That Day...

Till This Day...

It Has Been A Fantastic Experience...

Right From Writing For The Blogging Contest...

To See Those Golden Words - You Are Shortlisted - In The Mailbox...

To Receiving A New Surprise, Each Day...

Eyeing The Doorbell To Ring...

Each Day...

With Excitement...

With Anticipation...

And, With The Hope Of Stepping Closer...

To Cracking The Mystery, With Each Clue...

To, Today, When #WhatTheBlack Has Come To An End.

OR HAS IT?

~~~

Have we closed in on #WhatTheBlack???

I DO NOT THINK SO...

~~~

After All...

The Winners HAVE  NOT  Been Disclosed Yet!

~~~

Yes, #WhatTheBlack, For Me...

Will Close...

When I See Myself, Among One Of The Winners...

Rightfully So, I Feel...

After All, It Isn't #WhatTheBlack, Now...

It Is...
