My First  7 Quick Takes Friday -Vol1 from www.conversiondiary.com ----1---- Why do things just pop up without warning? I had things planned out and everything went out of schedule, or did I not pay close attention around ? Anyways! I had to enjoy what I was doing. Though sparkle was not keeping that very well ( a stomach infection), I had to attend a workshop. It was not like someone had pointed a gun on my head to attend it; however it was way to stay away from feeding sparkle as doc suggested that I feed him a little less till his stomach calms down and also a chance to meet all my old colleagues. I did return home early, and found sparkle to be more active than the previous day. (we both hardly slept that night due to his stomach-poor baby) As I see Sparkle achieving his milestone on his way to become a naughty toddler, I am kind of  keep checking Maple's pics as a toddler ---2--- Plans for weekend is a little unsure due to sparkle's health, however will st

I'm joining this blog for my 1st favorite five at  Moxie Wife! 1. My wedding Tiara I love it 2. Favorite place at home Sun-shines through my window 3. Cuddles & snuggles! Cute 4. Favorite corner love cooking here 5. Glass spice jars away with plastic containers

Breakfast is one meal that I just cannot miss, and I need it to be really heavy and healthy. Do I need to say that, me being so lazy these days, I hardly look forward to cook specially the breakfast. So what I need to do is do maximum preparation previous day night itself. Thus I land up making stuffs like appam, dosa, idli, upma etc.. Today was idli's turn! These are however dishes that one thinks of as very, I wouldn't say difficult but, needs preparation and thus serves my schedule. These are very old Idli moulds used by my ma-in law, very convenient ones. Tasty Idlis with Sambhar & Chutney (I didn't get to click my Sambhar & chutney pics; was running late to work!) However cooking the same over and over again gets very monotonous, and we at home are not very used to a sweet breakfast. Since I am just not able to keep up with healthy demand of breakfast I am on hunt fro easy and fast breakfast recipes to list a few that I make: Idlis Plain dosa

Break Break break was what I needed so much last weekend and my darling hubby ensured that I got one. We head directly to a spa & resort. Yummy food, rocking DJ nite, awesome pool and loads of fun. Kids were so happy. We also visited a zoo. Maple enjoying her swim, she just didn't want to get off from there! Sparkle's 1st outing. My beautiful sisters. And my handsome husband there are so many more pics, may be in other through the week.. Hope all of you'll also had a nice weekend!

I was looking forward for this one desperately... My sister is leaving on Monday back, so home's not gonna be same for a while. I am planning to have loads of fun this weekend. With tens at home, the month just passed away... Everyday used to be like a feast at home. Anu (my neice)was so scared of my husband initially, however within a week or so, she just wouldn't leave him, after work when we got back she would come home with us, have dinner with maple. Every morning, when I dropped sparkle at mom's place, she would ask me where dada was (yea, she also started calling him dada) We gonna miss them so much... love you Anu...

{pretty} I found this old vase stuck somewhere down in my junk box. I just love the way the sun streams into my living room through that window. my favorite place at home {Happy}  My niece is such a cute thing and loves posing {Funny} Early morning when sparkle saw that his dada is showering all his affection on his sister, he rushed into his dada dears hands. {Real} Finally I have managed to transfer all my spices into glass jars! My spice bottles (the last one is clarified butter that I make at home) Do visit Like Mother, Like Daughter . to see more pretty, happy, funny and real things in lives of lovely people.

Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea And we breathe in the cool salty air, You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare Then your lips cling to mine, it's wonderful, wonderful Oh, so wonderful my love. Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill And we gaze at the earth and the sky I turn to you and you melt in my arms There we are, darling, only you and I What a moment to share, it's wonderful, wonderful Oh, so wonderful my love Bridge: This world is full of wondrous things it's true But they wouldn't have much meaning without you Some quiet evenings I sit by your side And we're lost in a world of our own I feel the glow of your unspoken love I'm aware of the treasures that I own And I say to myself, it's wonderful, wonderful Oh, so wonderful my love!  ----------------  So romantic!

(From Paulo Coelho's "Like A Flowing River")  photography by a friend A young cloud was born in the midst of a great storm over the Mediterranean Sea, but he did not even have time to grow up there, for a strong wind pushed all the clouds towards Africa. As soon as the clouds reached the continent the climate changed . A bright sun was shining in the sky and stretched out beneath them, lay the golden sands of the Sahara. Since it almost never rains in the desert, the wind continued pushing the clouds towards the forests in the south. Meanwhile, as happens with young humans too, the young cloud decided to leave his parents and his older friends in order to discover the world. ‘What are you doing’ cried the wind. ‘The desert’s the same all over. Rejoin the other clouds, and we’ll go to Central Africa where there are amazing mountains and trees!’ But the young cloud, natural rebel, refused to obey, and, gradually, he dropped down until he fo

Carrot cake, again forgot to click when its was out from the pressure cooker. I managed to click a pick before my husband and kids could devour the cake! On Sunday made some yum.. rice ladoos! And finally when to the children's park near the beach to beat off the heat. Wasn't I clicking the pick? were is my pop and sis looking. Oh! look at sparkle, he was all tired.

I know I don’t have many years of married life in my kitty yet, and neither have I gained a doctorate in relationships… Why this subject then?   on 07-01-2007        I guess; I have been given so many opportunities by life to     witness peoples’ life. From childhood, I am surrounded by friends elder to me, family members like uncles and cousin who got married when I had an ability to understand various phase they were going through. Above all this, learning from my parents and now in laws.(elaboration on the learning's can make many other posts in future)             Marriage has always been portrayed as a biggest decision or life changing moment in a girl’s life by all around her, since the time she is born (I am not trying to be gender biased here!) It’s true! People think about a guy’s wedding only after her has settled down with a good job, a house etc… etc… needed to secure his future family, however a girls is to be just married off!                Thus the
