Usually i dont take new year resolution but this time if at all anything, i want to reduce junk food and buying clothes (dress, saree everything) - i really really want to ! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stroke of midnight : Amidst crowd in Koramangla enjoying new year ! It was Sree's idea to go out and see the crowd after he finished work around 11 pm. I was pretty sleepy but any chance to be out, i cant resist. HSR seemed very silent so we drove to Koramangla, parked the car somewhere and walked into the crowd. Bottles on the side, ,loud music from pubs , policemen and women to control the crows, it was a different experience. My fears as always were within, so i held on to Sree's hand.

First New Year without Cheeku with us. Spoke to her on phone. They did a small cake cutting , she looked happy.

1:30am: Reached home after witnessing New Year crowd in pub streets of Koramangala. i was dead sleepy by then and Appu wasn't home still. He was apparently roaming in RBD with friends.

Got up around 8, started the day with morning tea and went on to wake Appu. I had to resort to routine shouting to get him out of bed at 9:30! Wrong start to New Year's Day !

Post that, a small baddy workout with Sree after being lethargic for the past month of so which was full of food and travel. Felt good. Back home, Sree cut a small Vietnam jackfruit only to find it is not raw but not ripe - perfect for upperi :) Since we hadnt bought veggies , made ghee pongal for lunch and ate it with some yummy pindi fryms.Sree took the day off but i worked with half heart. 

Evening i made my fav snack - sukhiyan. Sree went for movie and i went grocery shopping at reliance and spend a whopping 6.5K. Will the year be too much spending ?

Baby bro turns 18!

'Baby bro' - thats how Sreya has stored your name on her phone ! XX--------------------------------X---------------XX More delicate than your sister, you were always our baby—the one we held a little closer and cared for a little more. You grew up around us, always wanting us to be part of your day, yet exploring your own world—Pokémon, Beyblades, puzzles, legos,books, athletics, soccer, cubing, chess… and so much more. Electronics was a weakness from very young age. In the early years, to gently wean you away from it, we spent hours together at the library—bringing home piles of books, turning reading into a shared joy. Bringing up two bundles of energy was very challenging. I struggled in many ways, but. I was completely invested in you— ensuring your safety , cooking every meal, driving you to classes, listening to your stories between my meetings, catching glimpses of your school activities, and joining you in running, hiking, and everything in between. My words and actions...

Of colors and retail therapy..

After a 2 (or 3 ? )month break from blogging i am back..a ten day vacation to Jaipur and delhi during pooja holidays,"maid" void days and such had made me extremely busy. Still when i sit back and relax for a while during the busy days, i do think of my little blog space. Jaipur is an enchanting place with large forts, bazaars and streets full of colorful handicrafts,rajai, camels and of course bangles. I became crazy when i saw the streetside choodiwala and became contented only after buying 10 dozens of  bangles, made of cut glass and mud. I wonder how many days they would with me intact still it was my big wish to buy some of those and i did ! I cannot recollect when my love for Gujju and Rajasthani handicrafts began but i know i love them lots.Love the bright colors and the awesome combinations.In the scorching heat, most of the desi Rajasthanis looked a tired lot ,carrying water and making rotis all the time but their ideas and skills are a class apart. The Pink city w...

Quack quack, when the earth shakes...

We were munching on those chicken legs when my phone rang. It was Merly. She was out of CPP building and called to enquire if we had experienced an earth quake. My belief is that india ,esp bangalore, never had/would have one ! So i smiled away saying i am out of office and having fun with teammates at Barbeque Nation. Parties have been a culture at corporates and off late though we were devoid of company sponsored quaterly project parties, onsite guys were kind enough to sponsor one. It was first time for me in this place, so i was still wondering at the Barbeque arrangement on each table, the corporate crowd and so on. Prawns, chicken and fish lay on the barbeque for us.Another few minutes and my cell rang again. It was another friend from office, to enquire if we experienced an earthquake. I guessed something was serious this time. Called hubby to realise that he too heard the news but hadnt experienced any shakes. After a while, we indulged back into the barbeques.When Stomach was ...
