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…
Parathas
I love parathas…I know they are not the healthiest of foods but they are the most delicious!! Coming from Punjab, I have grown up eating the various varieties for BREAKFAST…why in caps because my husband of 12 years still gets surprised by it.

A new year – another chance
It is 1st January 2012. Another new year…..as a good friend rightly said – another chance to make things right!!

Indian authors
Coming from an Indian background, I am always looking fwd to good books by Indian authors. As I mentioned in my last post, “Family Matters” by Rohinton Mistry was great. Now that I have a bit more time with Yash engaging himself here and there, I have started researching and ordering books by Indian authors…
Family matters
As I mentioned in one of my last posts, I am reading “Family Matters” by Rohinton Mistry. I had read good reviews about the book when I bought I but then after the first few pages, I did not feel like reading I and parked it. As I was telling my friend Ornella, you have…
