It is 4 pm almost .We just had our desert after lunch .My younger son left for friend's house where they will study together. And i sent my youngest son to deliver portions of some desert to in laws houses .
Yes i made traditional desert with carrots today :) Dish is bit time consuming (almost three or four hours) and takes little effort constant watch out and occasional stirring along with addition of ingredients which are carrots ,milk ,cream ,sugar ,cardamom powder and some nuts .
Mom first and then hubby used to make this one for me for years long ago ,but now i have to make it for myself .It turned out really good so it was hard to believe that i made it (thankfully)
while making gajar ka halwa (traditional name for dish) i have been receiving some pleasant vibes within my heart .Like something really nice was happening somewhere in this world and i could feel it right here in my heart .But honestly had no idea what it was and to whom or where it can belong .So i overlooked my excitement and kept myself busy with kitchen chores though slight smile that i felt within soul like "lightness of feather" and sooth of breath .
Until i came to my living room for break .My cell laying on table rang and i picked it up without wasting a moment as i could see it was my eldest son from Munich.
He said he was super busy but he felt news was worth sharing immediately .First thought burst in my head that he has got his new visa card and he will be able to come home soon eventually.But could not think news was even better and happy :)
Yes His best friend finally got married to his girlfriend :)
The couple was SPIRITUALLY COMMITTED to each other since almost ten years but there were some family issues from boy side that kept both love birds waiting .Things were about to get bit bitter but Lord thankfully brought these Sweet kids Happiest day of their life miraculously :)))
Hearing this happy news made me cry with happiness and gratitude .I was thankful that once again God made two soul mates meet each other and live and grow old together !
My son appreciates his friend Mubashir highly for his kind and generous nature and according to my son the sweet girl who joined Mubashir beta as partner is equally an amazing human being :) What a match :)
4:45 now ,sun is folding back his net of golden rays from my yard wall swiftly . Sitting on dining table near window i can see the partial sky and hearing the birds flocks returning to their nests makes me serene and makes me think of happy couple who is in plane this time and will land after few hours in Munich :) My son told that he went along with his friend and cleaned and decorated apartment for couple :)
How good it feels when i know that Love and kindness still exist in this world and our children are one of those who spread it where ever they go !
May Lord Keep smiling on them always!
And may lord take away all the worries from all of you and fill your soul with eternal peace and joy ,amen!
Congratulations to the happy couple!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that your son has gone to prepare the home for his friends, congratulations to them on their marriage and to your family for the happiness over the union. I think your carrot dish is what I know as Halva - I love it, very delicious but hard to find in the UK - I can see why - what a lot of effort goes into making it and what a treat it is! You are such a good cook and I bet your home always feels welcoming.
ReplyDeleteOh your dessert sounds so good. Congrats to the lovely couple.
ReplyDeleteI had gajar ka halwa once and enjoyed it. Yours looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI wish the happy couple a prosperous and happy life together. News of marriage shows that life continues. Your dessert looks good. I have not heard of it before.
ReplyDeleteOh, sweet. Congratulations to the beautiful couple!
ReplyDeleteSuch a joyous post :)
ReplyDeleteYour dessert sounds very good.
Many congratulations to the happy couple.
All the best Jan
Such great news for the couple. Best wishes to them.
ReplyDeleteGood things make us happy . It was a happy day all around for you. Yes, I like dessert!
ReplyDeleteLong life and happiness to the young couple
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the happy couple.
ReplyDeleteYour sweets took a long time to make - dedication :)
Do glad to hear about this marriage. It is actually very nice that the couple has been committed to each other for so long.
ReplyDeleteYour dessert sounds great.
A very beautiful post and congratulations to your Son's friends. The carrot recipe looks so good. Well done on that.
ReplyDeleteHappy to see the lovely couple. Thanks for your kine prayer.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to the very happy looking couple and glad that everything worked out for them as far as those family "issues."
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. Good news about your son's friends getting married. Your dessert sounds really good - and looks good too. When that feeling you described kind of hits your heart - i can relate to that. i always feel like a wave of "unconditional love" just washed through me - that all is right with the world and it feels so loving. Hope your weekend is relaxing and nice.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the happy couple! Beautiful picture! That desert looks very good! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDear Baili, I wish the happy couple a long life of commitment that will bless all those who come after them. And . . . I can't help wondering if the good feelings you were having as you cooked were also--beside the news you shared with us, from the fact that here in the United States a new president took office and four years of chaos ended. Peace.
ReplyDeleteYour carrot dessert sounds wonderful, and very special! How wonderful that it turned out so lovely and that you could share it with your in-laws! Such lovely and exciting news your son shared! I will pray that he gets his visa card soon, so that he can visit, I know you miss him so much! Always such a blessing to visit with you, and share in the happy details of your life. May the Lord bless you with His sweet presence in beautiful and amazing ways! Much love to you dear friend :)
ReplyDeleteDear Baili - The happy faces of the newly-wed couple made me smile and the carrot dessert made me hungry.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your concern. Actually school has been constantly open since June and we are mostly free keeping preventive measures with less restrictions. However, I’m not happy about the emergence of new strain of virus. Take care, and enjoy your life.

Hello Baili,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo of the couple, they look very happy. The carrot dessert sounds delicious! I wish you peace and happy times ahead. Enjoy your day!
Mubarak to the new couple
ReplyDeleteThat carrot desert must be delicious.
The traditional dessert that you during for 3-4 hours takes patience
ReplyDeleteand the results are definitely delicious. Satisfied, the results taste good according to what you want
How glad your son and his friends are to receive delicious dessert gifts from you.
Have a nice week
Regards
O prato que confeccionou deve ter ficado delicioso, tanto mais que foi feito com o coração também.
ReplyDeleteQue bonito casal. Parabéns!
Uma boa semana com muita saúde.
Um beijo.
wow interesting, I'm just know the carrots can be cooked like that. thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteMuitas felicidades para o novo casal! Que linda a história deles!
ReplyDeleteE o prato confecionado deve estar delicioso! Aqui costumamos fazer bolo de cenoura também, de vez em quando!... Esta semana, estamos a acabar um de maçã, com canela... mas o desta semana, foi comprado... nas últimas semanas, houve muitas compras a fazer... e de momento, tudo o que entra em casa, tem de ser lavado ou desinfetado, por causa da pandemia, que está muito acesa, em meio urbano, e o tempo não chega, para tudo, conforme eu desejaria, infelizmente...
Grata, por tão adoráveis partilhas! Um beijinho! Daqui a pouco, estarei de volta por aqui, apreciando mais algumas das suas recentes publicações que se me foram escapando, nestas últimas semanas... que por aqui, têm sido bem preocupantes, e ocupadas, com a pandemia num crescendo imparável, infelizmente!...
Tudo de bom!
Ana
Ten years waiting to be married is a true measure of their love. I'm glad that they were finally able to marry, and I wish them many happy years together. Your son has a good heart, Baili. But that's not surprising. He has wonderful parents! Hugs to you, my friend!
