Ushering into the New Year…

My Canada and US tour is somewhat over and while I wait here to get back to my country in anticipation, the humongous amount of snow everywhere just does not seem to go down in quantity. The flights are already delayed (and some of them cancelled as well!). I am stuck here because of the snow and God only knows when this is going to get over (I really am eager to get back home now!)

Leaving my departure hassles aside, let me just talk about New Year which is around the corner. With Christmas just before the New Year, we see homes, markets and other places already lit up and dazzling with the festive and celebration mood. Trust me, it is one of my favourite times of the year with so much of happiness and joy around. And what better than food to enjoy this mood with. Try out some of my choices for this Christmas and the year end on www.sanjeevkapoor.com.

With New Year, come resolutions because we all feel the need to change and what day is better than the beginning of the year, January 1. Resolutions help us to start afresh habits than to break an old one. This year, make sure to fulfil the goals that you set by planning them well before. Share your resolutions with family and friends and I’m sure they will help you to achieve it by encouraging and supporting you at every step. I know for sure the satisfaction that you can gain when you see yourself completing something which you’ve decided to. So, I would say just go ahead and throw up a challenge for yourself and aim to complete it!

Take a pledge to maintain a healthy lifestyle by including fruits and vegetables in your diet, drinking lots of water, exercising, be good to humans as well as the flora and fauna, spread happiness around…all in all, just build a more positive behaviour! Just plan to work on such things and leave the rest to God. I’m sure He’s always there to bless and help everybody!

New Year-New Look, Exciting prospects

Probably the last blog for this year! I wish all my friends, my viewers, my readers, my fans a very Happy and Prosperous New Year.

And personally I am looking forward to a whole lot of new things like the food channel and my new bearded look that I was asked to grow for an ad shoot.

There are two things about getting your own natural beard…that while it is growing you are most uncomfortable (it is itchy) and secondly, your kids refuse to accept your scruffy look. Rachita, my elder daughter, has said a point blank ‘no’ to even see the advertisement for which I have yet to shoot and for which the look is being prepared and my younger daughter Kriti is still in Sweden to participate in a Hand Ball tournament. Missing her! I do talk to her everyday, seems so strange children at young age, going their way- independently. Well fortunately my COO Rajeev just told me that the script has been changed and beard is not required. Back to the clean shaven, good boy look , well in time for the New Year bash.

January has a lot of food waiting to be polished off! Mexican – easy and tasty – and something the kids seem to adore! And later on my shows some steamed foods, some baby foods, healthy cooking with olive oil and delicious rice recipes. And if you are wondering what my plan is for the New Year Eve…getting calls from Aamby Valley, Lonavala. Our HR manager Sabita has arranged some programmes and games in the morning at our office, after that we will be off to Aamby Valley. Love winters! So will enjoy temperature, food and quality time with wife, Alyona. Planning to cook Prawn Pulao, Spaghetti with Pinenut Pesto Chicken and Frozen Chocolate Mousse Cake for dinner! I will have a bit of everything!

Till I write again.
