This plant is a decorative item for the Golu. I got two during a trip to Guruvayoorappan Temple in Kerala. This is one piece of item I keep loosing and today found it in my laundry room 🤔 . Assembly is not a big deal so my young man started helping me. But I found…

Doll of the day is a tea set. When the world closed for pandemic everything became online. That is when I found out my special young man could sit for some craft activities. We got a tea party set and it became part of my Navaratri golu 2020. Yes, something I never ever imagined in…

Yesterday I started my Navaratri series. My dolls are my prompt and the story behind them my blog. My grandma used to say the idols in our house should not be more than the size of the thumb of the man of the house. I don’t think anyone asked why nor is it being followed.…

This year my Golu or display doesn’t have any theme. On Thursday when I got all my boxes up from the basement I just looked around and smiled at myself. My first display in the year 1998 just had my son’s toys. I never imagined I could or would continue and take it to this…

Which topics would you like to be more informed about? Isn’t there too much information already around us? I remember a time my grandfather used to write letters to mom. The snail mail gave us information that sailed slowly amd smoothly for us to absorb it. Any question asked would be answered only a week…

We have couple of entrances to our local mall. The mall is not huge, just two levels yet they do have a lot of parking and entrances. I strategically plan my emtrance and parking in such a way that my young man has less food options. But lately I found out his anxiety was high…

To make a three hour movie review is not my cup of tea but I have a blog and experessing my feelings is not wrong. Last month an Indian movie “Coolie” was released with all pomp. In fact it didn’t have any new actors just those from my school age period. They named it Pan…

Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. My Navaratri invites are all sent out. I added a twist to the invite. Every guest coming on any day will have a boxed snack from Ani’s kitchen. Why did I do that? I had to start somewhere if I want to take my “special young…

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. Two months back I wrote a blog about how we were there for Pittsburgh’s Picklesburgh festival. We had been there once and vowed never to go back again because it was so crowded. Yet that summer evening we found ourselves at Picklesburgh. Lesson learnt:…

What are your favorite types of foods? Today I was arguing with my husband how apples can increase his blood glucose level, yet we went to a farm to pick apples 🍎! I would say this is the earliest we have been to apple picking and the trees were full of them. In fact some…

My son gets a home and community based waiver funding. A place strongly encouraged by the state is for him to participate in his religious institution. Visiting our local temple is something we have trained him to do, thanks to the canteen. In fact every city we visit we see to it that we visit…

How often do you walk or run? By God’s grace I can walk. So? But running is a different story 😊! We boil milk! We boil milk to make our coffee! We boil milk to make homemade yogurt. Do you know a watched pot (milk) never boils? So we leave the pot or the pan…

I have been religiously blogging almost every day I think without a break for the past two months. I am finding something or another to blog about it from my travels to a forty dollar timer that I got this week on Amazon. Meanwhile the clock is still not fixed but the timer works perfectly…

Everyone remembers what they were doing on September 11th when the planes hit the World Trade Center. Just in May of that year we had been on top of it with my mom, my cousin her family and her mom. Little did we know that place would not be there anymore soon. My young man…

What are you doing this evening? It is night now and the sun has set. I really did want to do something but me and my young man had a busy evening and I couldn’t get it done. What did I want to do? I ordered a timer/scheduler for my young man. Most of his…

Today I received my Sanskrit exams results. I successfully completed Kovida. The last of the four exams conducted by Samskrita Bharati USA. They now have an easier option to complete the cycle, yet I decided to go on the regular route and I finished it. Thanks to my very sincere teacher and her guidance. I…

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why. I am so tempted to us me AI for this prompt. It has been a while since I followed sports. My younger one and my husband can talk and watch sports non stop. Thanks to these handheld devices everyone is cocooned to their own space…
