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!! I will remember 2011 with mixed feelings…it has been full of ups and downs…the biggest down being that we lost papa. But as he would have said…don’t look back, look forward and keep moving as…
Remembering Papa!!

Friendship
I have been wondering what makes good or even great friends….it is definitely not that you need to have the same personalities, I am not like any of my friends. It is not that you have to come from the same place….I would have not made any friends in oz if that was the case….
Ebook reader!!
So I was set to buy an ebook reader. My friend Ornella inspired me and in doing the research for her, I became very interested and thought about buying one myself. After all I love reading books, and not just any books…I love reading indian authors, most of which are not easily available in Sydney….
