When I dream of you, My dream is so fearless ~to comfort my mind and soul VAGHARELI KHICHDI !

When you look into my eyes

World becomes a better place

And you know deep inside

Love is taking all the space

Baby, I love you... and you?

Chorus:

We are birds

We fly so high and we are falling down

When I dream of you

My dream is so fearless

We are people of the planet, we live human lives

We are angels, we're in danger, we are crystal white... crystal white

II.

When you look into my eyes

Sun is touching mountain top

When you look into my eyes

It will never have to stop

Baby, I love you... and you?

Coming to my khichdi recipe, Khichdi is a South Asian preparation made from rice and lentils (dal). Khichri is commonly considered to be a comfort food, and was the inspiration for the Anglo-Indian dish of kedgeree.The dish is widely prepared in many Indian states like Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Bengal (where it is called Bengali: খিচুড়ী khichuri). Vegetables such as cauliflower, potato, and green peas are commonly added. A popular variant in coastal Maharashtra is made with prawns....I made typical Gujarati style Vaghareli Khichdi !( source : wikipedia)
