I had so much to write for April ending but penultimate day of April made me think different! We lost power for nearly 16 hours yesterday night to today morning and yup we survived it! My “man” was upset for an hour and after that hour he was fine! Yes, we had running water and…

Have you ever been camping? No, I have never done camping. Let me say when my son was younger we gave the reason it is hard to camp with him. But deep rooted me and my husband are not the camping type. We did stay at a campground with cozy cabins two years back and…

Nearly two decades back, I learnt about a Hindu festival. Yes, all the years growing up in an orthodox household I did not learn about it, but from a friend in the United States. We were inside a temple when she opened her purse and showed me pair of gold earrings she had got for…

When do you feel most productive? We thought we would visit the garden center again this weekend and start gardening but the weather was not great. It was not a gardening weather. I ended up cooking a lot and our dishwasher was busy. Was it a productive weekend? Of course it was. But it didn’t…

My young man plays baseball. More than the sport it is a community event. Six weeks spring and fall we have this routine of going to the game. When I said baseball, my man was all up and ready! Yes, the concession stand is his motivation. It is loud out in the field. Regulating behaviors…

What topics do you like to discuss? If there are extroverts out there I can engage in any kind of conversation. That said I am not a physics person. Talk to me force, mass and acceleration I may fall asleep. I know a little about everything or try to learn. From gardening to religion I…

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out? My two feet needs to be on the ground and I do not like heights. I am not even comfortable looking out an airplane window. Yet, when we were in Smoky Mountains last month I was forced to use the ski…

Describe a risk you took that you do not regret. We were at our local garden center a few days back. For many gardening is a hobby but for us we were just handed that hobby when we got our house. Our previous owner had a vegetable patch, after a year or two of doing…

Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently? It was the year 2009. Winter was coming to an end. We had booked tickets to visit my brother in Dallas for spring break. I was more than excited since it was our first visit. Then my…

What makes you nervous? I asker google what causes nervousness. It is the body’s nature response to a stressful situation that creates a fight or flight mode. It releases the hormone adrenaline. Okay, there are certain situations that make me nervous which can be downright silly to something that is serious. We all are, all…

My young man did great on his half hour walk this afternoon. The sudden rain made us cut short his walk and the weather app was right on target. The seven day forecast shows spring like weather and I don’t think I am going to jinx it if I say finally “great weather “. The…

How do you unwind after a demanding day? I am a night owl! I wind down a different way. While my family sleeps I pick up the trash around! I dispose off unwanted junk as the good old tube plays something I need to relax! It can be music, comedy or a muder mystery! However…

We won an egg and some bunnies yesterday at Easter party. Now we have bunnies inside our home along with many in our garden 😀! But the highlight today was our real egg hunt as we searched for the kill deer bird and it’s eggs in our local park. Looked like they were lost but…

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind. Somethings can’t be changed! Yes being positive or working hard can change certain things in life but the fact remains whatever we try to do somethings do not change! Or should I put it this way, if somethings are bound to happen good or bad…

We were in Washington DC last weekend not to visit museums or monuments but to see the starting point of Cheaapeake and Ohio Canal. The tow path ran between Washington DC and Pittsburgh. We got our National Parks passport book stamped. Yes, we were not seeing Cherry blossoms but we saw other beautiful trees. The…

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow. A deer crossing a rotary yesterday evening. This is a busy intersection during peak time. By 7 pm, it does become deserted. I think the deer knows the traffic pattern and is out for a stroll late evening 😀! I think…

What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why? The world has really shrunk! I see most tourist places crowded and it is definitely marketed all over. It is also not expensive. One restriction for our family is vegetarian food. But there are rentals available with kitchen attached in most places. In…

“Not my cup of tea”! This has been reverberating in me the past few days. I heard from a friend who mentioned this phrase when I asked her if she was going to a particular seminar. It really stuck with me since then! Though she could have attended it was not to her taste. With…

It is new year for us. The dawn of new beginnings and wishing all those celebrating today a happy new year! I was asked what we do today? Just like all the cultures pray a bit, cook and eat a ton. So what was special. The boring aama vadai. Or the tortoise shaped lentil donut!…

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? WordPress prompts appear on my jetpack app! The problem being it shows different prompts every time I open. Some I may have done or some I am not interested in! Anyhow I really wanted to answer the above prompt since I knew what to write. By the…
