Today I made sojji and bajji. Nothing new just a sweet and savory. During the good old days of arranged marriage, the bride’s family entertains the groom’s family with this combo the first time they visit the house to see the would-be bride. This was in an effort to convince the groom family to accept…

Have you ever broken a bone? Yes I have or have I scatched one? I remember my arm in a sling for many days and getting all the attention. It happened when I was three years and eight months old. My mom was 9 months pregnant with my brother and we were at our maternal…

We are surrounded by colors all around our house. Most probably these would be removed sometime soon as they are just weeds! They are bittersweet nightshades but these tiny purple flowers attract my eyes. Most of our neighborhood has Clematis! We are lucky to see some of these purple in our yard! Purple, purple everywhere!…

What sacrifices have you made in life? We all make decisions all through our life. It is for the greater good of our family. When my son was young, my peers around me were trying to qualify themselves and find a job one way or another. Yes, even with a child they were able to…

All through winter I had posted how bad the weather was and shared a screenshot of our weather that day! Now Mother Nature has been so considerate I thought I should thank her and post upcoming week’s weather! Yes it is going to be chilly but sunset isn’t until 8.30 pm. Sunrise is at 6…

I am not a sincere “go green person”. A few weeks back my husband was cleaning a backpack that we take on our trips. It had plastic snack wrappers and quiet a few treasures that needed to end in the trash. Most of the parks we travel to have a motto “trash in, trash out”.…

Our yard desperately needs help and we have requested for manual labor. It is not cheap. Hopefully they will be coming soon. Today me and my husband tried to clean somethings up and I planted peas for the first time on my patch! Am I feeding the birds with the seeds or the new saplings…

This year Mom’s Day was quiet different! We had to cancel all of our young man’s events and take him out for a drive. Yes we skipped his Special Olympics and baseball games! Yes, I put myself first as I wanted to have some “me” time with my extended family. Yes, it was me saying…

What does freedom mean to you? Yesterday my son was obsessing in the car with one particular song! We never give him the freedom to choose his songs because of his severe OCD with them! But we did yield to him. It was from a late 80s album. I really felt bad for him, but…

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I have been called a Super Mom multiple times by many! Ha ha, a situation was created and I just went through with it. I love teaching, and my young man became my student. Other than that, I did not or do not do anything extraordinary than anyone else to be…

This is my 1000th post. I really did not know what to write so just posted pictures of wildflowers from my walk today. I do not want to even know the names of these flowers, just wanted to enjoy them as it is. Of course, remembering Cee and her Flower of the Day.

I am happy when portion sizes at restaurants gets reduced. Instead of raising prices, I think a smaller portion is much better. I love smaller size snacks and drinks. One thing that is not popular in the States. We rarely take home leftover restaurant food. I have never enjoyed that, unless we made a mistake…

What do you do to be involved in the community? I participate in all my community events. We also participate in our temple activities. We are also lifetime members of our Tamil sangam (our language community). Me and my men go out and enjoy them all! Okay, I have written about all the above programs…

I had a National Park Services app downloaded on my phone. This shows all the parks, monuments and historic sites. Once you visit a park, you can make a check off saying visited. Today, the app asked me to update the same. As soon as it was updated it asked me to give permission to…

List the people you admire and look to for advice… Isn’t the internet full of advices and motivational speeches. Type in something that you need advice on AI generated results are one too many. Once my dad and my mom developed a cough! My mom, said except for the newborn in the next house every…

My dad came to help me out when I had a surgery when my son was 5 years old. He kept calling him Sthitaprajna. I didn’t care from where he was quoting but my dad said this kid does this things with no return results or is so contented with small things. Yes, when you…
