Are you seeking security or adventure? I am not a person who enjoys adventurous actvities. Yes, that includes financial decisions and adrenaline rush physical activities.

We left the house for our trip July 4th morning around 5 am and until 10 pm July 11th I would say my life was driven just by my karma. We came back from our trip July 9th, yet things kept moving here in Pittsburgh. When I planned the trip, I knew there was a…

Today I was in a great mood to cook. I even went grocery shopping (which I rarely do in the middle of the week), and got groceries to make a tasty meal. My family applauded my rasam (tomato and tamarind soup). After a week of travel home cooked food tastes so yummy and feels healthy.…

I got this plant during St Patricks Day Bingo at my son’s program. Oh boy! It was so hard to bring the plant to this level and not kill it. Touchwood! Last time my bunnies ate it and this time the cold frost and rain made it sick. Finally it is trying to survive. Now…

It’s the last day of June. Summer is officially here. Early morning walk in my backyard always brings me memories of my childhood vacation.

My cappuccino cup had another purpose this week! It was super hot and my cold carrot kheer (milk), tasted so good in it! Who knew a cube of ice would give so much taste! Yes, not a coffee week. I did write during my week of a puzzle project that was messed up by my…

I talk about endurance a lot. Taking care of my special man, I have been able to tackle a ton of endurance to so many things in life. My pain level is also high. But today I felt I have been put to a test and the result would be known only tomorrow. We decided…

How important is spirituality in your life? I am a spiritual person. When in Grand Canyon West Rim last year, even without second thought I chanted the entire Hanuman Chalisa. Native Americans consider Grand Canyon very holy and I felt that energy. I am lucky in one way my husband is spiritual too. But that…

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? Yesterday I was talking to some friends. They were surprised about the number of languages spoken in India. Being bilingual is very common in India. With so many languages, the dialect is also different amongst various regions. Anyhow food habits too change. Me and…

Who is your favorite historical figure? I do not want to write about someone I have never met. Historical perspective changes and if I said “X” was my role model, another view point can negate my feelings. I am going to talk about a very simple person. I am not going to call her my…
