Weekend we went to a buffet at an Indian restaurant . I told my husband that I would just have some chat items that are on the appetizer table and nothing more since I was not in the mood to eat other things. As soon as we saw the buffet my husband commented see there…

What are you most proud of in your life? Today morning I was in a rush and was running around the kitchen. I had a big bottle of turmeric and while moving towards the stove my leg hit the open dishwasher but with all my might I saved myself from falling down. I was multitasking…

I think many who grew up in the 70s 80s and even 90s India can resonate with me. Happy Deepavali to all my friends, family and fellow bloggers who are celebrating.

It’s Friday night. I just have a little bit more than 7000 steps. So stepped outside and found out the weather was perfect to walk on my driveway and make my 10,000 steps. The sky was clear and I could see so many stars. People go camping in deserts to view a starlit sky. I…

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive? There was an advertisement in our mall that showed, the mall was open 24 hrs. It gave a link to an online mall shopping page. Oh boy! We do not have any holidays, weekends or a snow or a bad weather day. You can work, learn…

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why? Suceess varies with individual. When my young man was an eight year old he couldn’t catch a ball. He was just a target of the ball flying at him. Let alone getting the ball or hitting with a…

We still do not have any vibrant colors around our neighborhood. So drove an hour to Keystone State Park for a trail walk. The 2 mile loop around the lake was perfect. It was drizzling with occasional rain showers. I do not have any National Park visits planned in the near future but state parks…

What could you try for the first time? Deepavali/Diwali is coming this weekend. I could attempt to make sweets. Motichoor ladoo seems to be all the cooking vloggers go to sweet. Then comes a South Indian sweet adirasam. Multiple microwave easy recipes are available. Oh, they look easy but once the ghee, sugar and the…

I liked Sadje’s Sunday Poser and something interesting happened today so just thought I might link that to her poser. I did reply to her post. Yes, I do answer to a lot of WordPress prompts which are mostly recycled. I thought I remembered what I wrote but the truth is I do not remember…

What principles define how you live? I had written for this two years ago. I wrote I live truthfully. Yes, I still do and I hope to live like that. Last week we found out that our heater has broken. It is not insanely cold but a heater for a few hours would be good.…

What have you been putting off doing? Why? Putting away the groceries: Groceries come in different shapes and sizes. They do not walk on their own. I need to take multiple small steps to reach my pantry/cupboard, the freezer or the refrigerator to get the task done. My watch doesn’t add those small steps amd…

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)? My grandfather was a hard worker. He meticulously saved money and was very careful in his investments. Every penny accounted and every transaction noted down. His past family experiences and his personal character made him be like this. When I was…

We took our young man to his first dance. Yes, we did one during the pandemic. It was way less crowded. But this was the first he attended with a costume. Can I shout from the rooftops that he did it. I think I can. Every mom wants her son to be educated, get married…

What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. My physical and mental pain tolerance level is a bit high. It is not the fear of me failing that makes me not do things but the necessity of it. If there is something that needs to be done I can come out…

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself? I really do not want to write about it and jinx it! Who am I kidding? I write all about my interest to visit all National Parks. Yes, as I try to plan how to execute it, it does look like a hard goal. There…

The temperature dropped yesterday night. It has been raining/drizzling.This fall bouquet looked lovely in front of a shop. But the trees in real time have not turned their colors. My son loves his routine. Less meltdown and crankiness. There were no children at the pool in the morning. So all are back in school. He…

What is your favorite hobby or pastime? Oh I just made my Navaratri series. I collect dolls and I wrote all about it. I love Britbox murder mystery series and I have to get back to it as I really got myself busy with my Navaratri Golu celebrations. Yesterday anyhow we put away our dolls.…

What would you do if you lost all your possessions? I had to go back and check what I had answered for this prompt. Interesting how I felt now and a year before for the same prompt. I felt the prompt gave me some negative energy 😀 today ! True to that my percolator broke…

What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind? I have been feeling global warming and I have to accept that it is real. I would say I was on the fence about it but now I am accepting it!!! It had been a warm September and I do see my plants still…

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. In midst of all my personal business last week, I heard the US Government has shut down. You all know from my blog that we love traveling to various parks. National parks and their sites have been the go to place for us. Yes,…
