If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite? I am extending an open invitation. Me and my boy cook everyday. He loves to eat out but there is something going on in our kitchen almost every day. Drop by without notice and we would prepare…

What do you think gets better with age? As we age the eyes start loosimg power, the knees buckle and inflammation is all over our body! Doctors become our best friends and blood draw becomes a routine. But as we age we get the maturity to handle things. We learn to prioritize. Years of experience…

I have complained a lot about the critters in my garden. But I have to understand they are part of my environment . Just like the bees who suck nectar from the flowers 😊. I love to watch the same. Today, I was able to take a picture without disturbing them.Are you able to see…

We bought a jasmine plant couple of years ago. When we took the plant out for spring/summer this year, we noticed the leaves had become yellow! We just wondered if we took it out early. So the next trip to home depot we got another pot. I think we created a friendly competition. The old…

What are you most excited about for the future? The rabbits are literally living in our vegetable patch! They destroyed our bell peppers over the weekend. We would have been happy if they would have eaten them completely m. No ! They did not! They made a mess of it. It is too late in…

My paternal grandparents would be celebrating their 80th wedding anniversary if they were alive today. I have heard multiple stories about their wedding, and to think back, life looked so simple. My grandparents got married in Shencottai, a small town in Tamil Nadu, India. Electricity was just getting popular at that time. The homes did…

We walk every evening at a park near our house. We can view July 4th fireworks from that park. The park is not usually crowded, but on July 4th evening it is usually crowded, and getting out of the park takes 45 minutes. We therefore do not miss fireworks. It is part of our evening…

On what subject(s) are you an authority? I found these at a museum I visited last weekend. The inventors of these items would have never imagined that their products would be at a museum decades later! The world keeps evolving so much. If I say I can type fast on a typewriter, 45 words a…

When I was young and growing up, it was my paternal grandmother’s job to chop vegetables. She was perfect in her work. Our refrigerator always had boxes of chopped veggies for my mom to cook. When you have cut vegetables you decide the menu fast and cooking becomes easy. Yes, she was a great person…

How do you express your gratitude? As a mother to a special needs child, or should I say an adult, I have so many circumstances in my life that gives me an opportunity to express my gratitude. The weekend West Virginia trip ended with a visit to coal mine exhibit. When we checked into the…

Beginning of June, I took up a midyear resolution that I would cut down on my screen time. I think I have successfully achieved the same. Yes, I carry my phone less, use a bit more of a laptop (it helps with me not binge watching), and I put away my phone at a particular…

What makes a teacher great? When I was in Grade 10 or 10th Standard my dad asked me if I wanted to be a teacher. I told him, I did not want to be. I had other big dreams. Fast forward more than thirty years, I can say with confidence I am a pretty good…

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the carousel at the long abandoned amusement park began to spin on its own, beckoning me to step aboard. I was walking my dog and was surprised by it. My curiosity took the better of me, and I walked towards with my Fluffy. I went closer to the…

How important is spirituality in your life? When googled spirituality this is what I obtained. Spirituality involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself, something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the greater whole of which we are part is cosmic or divine…

An uneventful weekend is over. The temperature dropped, and thunderstorms rolled. We went to the park for a walk, but it started raining. So we parked at the nearest pizza shop. The kids had pizza, and we watched the rain fall. The sun came back again. We drove back to the park and made a…

I have blogged almost every day this week. This was a hot week with temperatures hovering around 90s. We did not go out much and just spent most of the time at the pool during afternoons and at the park late evenings. If you had followed my blog all week, my Indian snack that I…

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? My parents took me to a restaurant called Shanti Vihar. North Indian food was not available everywhere but only at this restaurant. I was introduced to chats and when I order any chats at an Indian restaurant here I remember my visit with them…

I have two weekend outings planned for this summer. One at the end of this month and another in July. Until then, the rest of the summer, as I said, is going to be a staycation. I got my boy to do a routine at the pool. He sits in the water, and I sit…

In January 2020, I created my account with WordPress and made my first post. Little did I realize blogging would become a part of me. What do I blog? I have blogged everything and anything. Yesterday I wrote about my attempt to make an Indian snack, and this morning it was about the countries I…

What countries do you want to visit? I never thought I would leave my parents in India and move to America. But I did. Anyway here is a list of few countries that I want to visit. Call me crazy I want to visit Jerusalam. Yes the area is not safe but maybe one day…
