Instant Lemon Pickle Recipe is a spicy and tangy Kerala style pickled recipe made with lemons. This lemon pickle gives a unique flavor and is good for digestion.
The last Saturday we had gone out to one of our favorite destinations here – Pheonix mall.
Now while it is a mall, we love going there because of the environment around the mall. Saturdays are buzzing with a lot of entertainment and engaging activities in and around the mall.
This week we came across a talented bunch of youngsters who call themselves “Project Mishram“. They are a band that plays some nice Fusion – Carnatic Classical with Western music. 
We spent a good amount of time listening to them and we simply enjoyed every single moment.
When I see such talented people, I ask a question to myself. If their parents hadn’t nurtured these talents and had asked them to focus on their academics only, would we have seen them performing like this?
There is tremendous talent around us. Every kid is born with a talent and our responsibility as parents and elders is to find that talent and encourage them to pursue that.
Since today’s recipe has a South Indian touch to it, Project MishraM blended nicely into the topic. That’s what is called Fusion. Isn’t it?
