And another year has gone by and we are in 2013. The past year brought some good and some not so good things to remember. 1. I connected with a few old friends. Thank god they are social! 2. We built our house…something we could not have dreamed of when we came to this country…

India awakening!
Past few weeks have seen a protest in India never seen before. The trigger was a brutal gang rape of a 23 year old medical student by 6 men in Delhi, the national capital. It was not the first gang rape that had happened but the sheer callousness of the men involved and the brutality…
Diwali 2012
I always get excited about Diwali. Over the years, I have grown older, become a mom, moved countries but my excitement has not dimmed. A week before Diwali, I start preparing and planning for the day, the food and everything else which really is lighting up the house! This year was special for a couple…
Kama and Tony
After a year of waiting, Kama and Tony got married on 4th August 2012 in a splendid ceremony. It was a day that had been etched in our calendars and will be in our minds for a long time. It was all the more beautiful because I have seen their relationship and their love for…
Kuchh meetha ho jaaye

Sunday
Sunday is called God’s own day. For us mere mortals, Sunday is the day to relax, spend time with family and cook good food. Cooking for me is therapeutic; not the daily meals kind but cooking feast for my family and friend. Sunday is usually the day when I cook what my darling husband demands…
Memory lane!
A good friend made me go down memory lane today – back to the time when life was simple. I was my daddy’s little gal with no worry in the entire world. There was no pressure of responsibilities, of waking up early mornings, of rushing to work or mortgages and rents:-) The biggest worry that…
Reading and more reading!
While I have been away not blogging, I have spent all my spare time( little in my life, just in case u wonder) on reading books. I love the Kindle App on my iPad. Book reading is so easy – they are downloaded in a few seconds. While I still love the feeling of an…
Relaunch
I haven’t blogged in ages…I think with the life becoming busier with my house and my family, the blog took a back seat. But I missed blogging. Missed writing and then reading my own thoughts after a period of time. So I am back! Just wait and watch for my next post 🙂 – Posted…
