(Kyun dard hai itna, tere ishq main
Rabba ve Rabba ve
Rabba ve Rabba ve

There is dard, pain in this love.
Maybe to find the ultimate cure for that,
recommend the right dose
of the right medicine,
a pharmacist was born on the ultimate day of lub.
Rabba ve Rabba ve
Bracket closed.)

It's Valentine's Day.

It's the day Akash and Payal tied the knot.

It's the day ASR screamed into the night.

It's the day ASR dragged Khushi to the temple and married her, for six months, forever.

Big day.

But for us at Blast from the Past it's really extra special because it's our one and only, utterly cool and thin and ambitious and bright and smart Bracket Girl's Birthday.

Anita, Happy (and Beautiful, Gorgeous, Humongous, Fantabulous, Extremely Joyous, Utterly Awesssome) Birthday!!!

Here's to football, pharmacy, and all your favorite things
on 14 February, Anita's Birthday

For some humorous read, when the need arose

You have been there always, to provide the dose

So much hidden in your sensible brackets

To treat our gloom, they are the tablets

Your gif collection provides the thrills

To sparkle our eyes, they are the pills

May you score many goals in the field of pharmacy

Leaping and kicking in your search of proficiency

You are lucky to be born on IPK's auspicious day

Happy Valentine's and a very very Happy Birthday

Someone special would like to wish you a happy birthday and Happy Valentine's Day!

Some khana peena, food and more...
Here's a menu to be slowly enjoyed over your birthday week, something special from all the places the Blasters belong to.

BANGLADESH
The Bangladeshis pride themselves on being fabulous cooks, a mouthwatering serving of a very special delight, Panta Bhaat with Ilish Maach and plenty chillies and Bhartas, there's the Suntki or dried fish bharta here, Anita, this is absolutely delicious, We hope you do enjoy. This one's a favourite menu for Pohela Boishakh we were told.

INDIA

Andhra Pradesh
This one's a favourite, Pesarattu, made with moong beans and traditionally served with upma.

West Bengal
Here's some Luchi Mangsho, mmm white floaty pooris with a very typical Bengali mutton curry.

Gujarat
The legendary Thali of Gujarat with so many goodies, no one bothers to count.

Punjab
Kadhi Pakoda, delicious with rice, white and fluffy.

Uttar Pradesh
The Awadhis had a thing for cooking and consuming, and came up with the wondrous Dum Pukt method, a delicately flavoured Chicken Dum Pukt for Madam.

Delhi
Aye haye, what else but a crunchy tangy naughty khata meetha Chaat from Dilli Shehr.

Karnataka
Lots of ghee and sugar, flaky, crumbly Mysore Pak, a splendid mithai.

PAKISTAN
Kababs and more kababs, straight from the tandoor.

THAILAND
If you've never had Red Ruby, this would be a good time to fall into a whole bowl of it and enjoy. Love this dessert, funky, colurful, crunchy, and in South East Asian vein, not too sweet.

And along with that a whole platter of classic Thai Kueh. Heaven is right here.

USA
A little American Italian khana, yummy cheesy pizza.

Delicious food from New Orleans

Gumbo

Gumbo is best described as a stew that is served over rice. It's base is usually made from a powder called fil (fee-lay) and typically includes okra, bell pepper, celery, and onion.

A variety of meats are added including chicken, sausage, shrimp and/or oyster. No two gumbo's are the same and each have their own unique flavor.

Po-Boy

You can't come to New Orleans without trying a Po-Boy. Any restaurant worth its salt will have this on their menu so there's simply no excuse. Served on traditional French bread, these one-of-a-kind sandwiches can be stuffed with many types of food.

Some common Po-Boys include fried seafood (shrimp, oyster, crawfish), hot sausage, and roast beef with brown gravy. If you order it "dressed" expect mayo, lettuce, tomato and pickle.

Jambalaya

New Orleanians love their rice and that becomes apparent when you order jambalaya, a traditional seasoned rice dish that is served with chicken, sausage, shrimp or a variety of the three.

There are two types of jambalaya; cajun and creole. Cajun jambalaya is typically more spicy while creole jambalaya is made with a tomato base and is more mild.

Oysters

Some like their oysters fried, some like them raw. Either way, New Orleans is the place to get your fix. There are no shortage of oyster bars in the big easy and you can expect them fresh and plentiful wherever you choose to enjoy them. Rest assured, there will be plenty of hot sauce and saltine crackers nearby.

Boiled Crawfish

People in New Orleans look forward to crawfish season (between February and May) like others look forward to Christmas. This is when family and friends gather under carports and in backyards to boil these tiny crustaceans with plenty of cajun seasoning.

Everyone puts different things in their boiling pot but some typical items are sausage, potato, corn, garlic, onion and mushroom. Be warned these little critters can pack a big punch so make sure you have some water nearby.

Mufuletta

This massive sandwich is a gem of Cajun-Italian fusion. The best place to buy a Muffaletta is at the very establishment that created it back in 1906, Central Grocery on Decatur Street. This is a food best split between two people considering an entire round loaf of Italian bread is piled high with Genoa salami, Cappicola ham and Provolone cheese.

Olive salad (a blend of green olives, pimientos, celery, garlic, cocktail onions, capers, oregano, parsley, olive oil, red-wine vinegar, salt and pepper) tops off this mouth-watering monster.

Desserts from New Orleans

credit: http://www.top10thingsto.com/sweet-treats-top-10-things-to-eat-in-new-orleans-louisiana/

Beignet

Beignet's are squares fried dough that are sprinkled liberally with powdered sugar. Some people refer to them as a New Orleans doughnut but its taste is quite unique and far from that of the traditional doughnut. You can find this treat throughout the city but the most popular place to enjoy them is at Cafe du Monde on Decatur Street as you listen to a live jazz band.

Bread Pudding

Found in many restaurants in the Big Easy, this dish is soaked in an egg mixture before being baked and then topped with a thick, sweet sauce (usually rum-based). It is sometimes served with pecans or raisins.

Sweet Potato Pie

Sweet potato pie is more of an all-around southern dish. However, in New Orleans you can experience the legend of Omar the Pie Man who began selling his homemade sweet potato pies from his truck in the 1960's. While the Pie Man left us in 2002, you can still enjoy his confections via The Southern Sweet Potato Pie Company which distributes pie's to local restaurants and businesses in the area and across the country.

Finally, Mango Lassi to really give a spin to things.

SAHTEIN! BON APPETIT!

Ok, are you ready to groove?!

Music please...

It's time to cut your cakes!! Make a wish!!

Cheers...here's to your dreams coming true...

Hello Birthday Girl,
Is that the team you love?
Well they love ya right back...

and here's some snazzy gifts from them

in their colours.

Go black, Go gold, Gooo Anita!
(Imagine all Blasters leaping and kicking at the right moment,
we, your b'day cheerleaders!)

She's cool, she's drool-
Worthy beyond doubt
Look at our Anita
As she sashays out...

Gooo Anita!

The original Little Black Dress girl is here with a nice number (ignore that holder and cigarette, that's just for effect, samjhi aap). Seeing that you are pencil thin (which means you are to be looked at in awe by some of us and openly envied) and one of the very few among us who'd get into these things, we went to town and got you a whole sleek wardrobe in the colours of the Saints. Mix and match, wear as you like, everything goes with everything else, and you score every time, no matter what (clearly none of us knows enough about this game to come up with smart snappy puns, phew).

Lame or lace
Floor them with your pace

Gooo Anita!!

Lehenga choli
Or shorts and jeans
Everything in between

Gooo Anita!

Muaah muaaah muaah, Anita
Here's to every dream coming true
You'll be the best pharma babe, Anita
(May all your brackets take good care of you.)

OOOH ANITA!!!

Anita, we're so delighted to celebrate your special day here with you! Happy Birthday and Happy Valentine's Day! Also congratulations and good luck in pharmacy school. You'll be absolutely brilliant on your new adventure! May you have happiness, success and all the wonderful things in life ! Lots love and hugs from the Blasters!!! ❤️ 🤗🤗🤗

dear lovely anita,

a very very very happy birthday to you.

it's snowing where you are and sunny where i live.

you are young and thin. i am not young and not thin.

you are pithy, i perennially long winded.

you are smart, i am dopey.

you live in the west, i stalk the east.

you have straight hair, i have frizzy...

really, how on earth did we meet and become friends?

yet we did... and that's the wonder of things i guess.

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2VCwBzGdPM&feature=kp[/YOUTUBE]

dear anita,

a whole fascinating life lies ahead and you are about to join a fantastic
college and learn what you've longed to, i am thrilled for you and wish you great success.

you want to heal people, something really touching in that and i admire you for making this choice and then working so hard to make it all work

applause break.

and one more song.

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzal3Y7eB_A[/YOUTUBE]

i have no idea if you know any bangla or not, but i saw this movie called "jatishwar" recently... it's again a different sort of love story... i liked the song, maybe you will too.

finally, a little gift of the early asr... angry, nasty, tortured, mean... just teh way we like him. a good pharmacist will know he must never be cured completely of his ailment. never.

have a wonderful day, rain hail or shine, all the best and blessing and lau.

Happy birthday Anita.

I met you in BFTP thread and consider you a dear friend. your bracket posts always bring smile on my face. I named you the blooper catcher of our thread. You can light up my mood in a jiffy by your cute reviews.

You vanish for a while and then peeps in with a marathon. And then you go back to your hibernation.😆

I wish if you could be with us more.😔

Many many happy returns of the day.

Have lots of fun with your family and friends.

Party hard.

Eat all of your favorite food.

Cut a yummy cake and make a wish.

May God fulfills all of your dreams.

Now it's gift time. I love clothing, so I would love to give you a dress and some matching jewelry.

Finally the last wish from ASR and Khushi.
