Aaraam ash

Asho-aaraam ki zindagi... Pronounced aeesh this is the art of enjoying.The art of being in sync with others and the party of life. Some people do it all their life, whereas some others like us, have only few days to do it. At other times, we simply witness how other people do Ash.

I went to a Christmas in June dinner last night at a friend's place. They were a bunch of Europeans, from different parts of the world. We had fun, because 2-3 of the group work for GreenPeace organisation and they have travelled a lot. There was gnocchi in tomato and parsley and also chicken curry for dinner, plus there was the warm wine called Gluehwein/glue wine/ with fruits and dry fruits, and oranges, cloves and cinammon, heated for a long long time.

The hosts had invited 2 friends each, who the others had not met before, so we were all strangers to one another and had lots to share. We also played card games and magic tricks and the dessert was baked apples with berries in their middle, with ice-cream.

I could relate this kind of party to the slow movement, where they cook and eat for several hours. I really had fun, and met a few different people with different stories to tell and I thank my friend Mr.HP for the good evening.


And so I end here, my trilogy of "ash" in the titles, with one of Aishwarya Rai's commercials from the 90's

Grazie mille !
