Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. Really interesting since I have written multiple times about gifts received and the prompt did mention I have not answered it! Mother Nature has given the best gift this week! She melted all the snow around and the trails are now open. It felt great to…

Write about your approach to budgeting. I have been answering this prompt religiously and my opinion has not changed. With so many external factors affecting our budget, how can we budget our household. My husband told me that coffee prices has risen a lot! No way, his comment is going to make me drink less…

It was a foggy, rainy and a damp day yesterday! Usually I would have complained. But after weeks of subzero sunny frozen weather this was for a change nice. The temple as expected was crowded yesterday for Shivaratri. With satellite parking and late night return me and my husband were thinking we should get a…

If there were a biography about you, what would the title be? Today the temperature was above freezing and I knew it was time to push my family out to the trails. We parked our car at the trail entrance and realized that the trails don’t get salt! Mother Nature had to work on her…

Everywhere I turn around it is Valentine’s Day stuff. From coffee cups at the coffee shop to the gym, I see hearts everywhere. Yesterday I posted pictures from Costco of all the different kinds of bouquets available there. Still no love in our household since we have not purchased any flowers this weekend. Valentine’s Day…

Today was Cosctco shopping day. As I entered the wholesale club, it was filled with Valentine flowers. Everyone had a minimum of one bouquet in their cart. Did I pick one? No! I did not. Did my husband pick one? He too did not 😄! I also didn’t expect him to spend that money today.…

Write about your dream home. Tomorrow is trash and recycle day! The temperatures rose yesterday and the snow melted a good deal. Me and my young man worked hard all morning and cleared up the trash and recycling in our house! Remember we missed one recycling during the storm? Yes, we over compensated today. There…

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do? Of course shout from the rooftop! Hey share to on my blog and social media platforms! I had shared yesterday how I was very successful with my cast iron vessel but today is totally different! When we finished our Thanksgiving Turkey Trot…

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time? Interests wax and wane. When I think of hobbies, stamp collection comes like a flash! Growing up me and my brother were interested in it. The sad part, we didn’t collect many! From pebbles to leaves kids love collecting things! Aren’t…

Lake Erie, one of the Great Lakes is almost completely frozen! Being the shallow one, the feat was accomplished after 30 years! I had to see it and so we went in search of a beach! How long did we spend there? Just five minutes! My hands were frozen by the time I took my…

When we landed in Phoenix on our trip during Christmas our first stop was at an Indian store. We had a long road trip and got all the snacks and food for the same. We came out of the shop and we were met by some ISCKON devotees. They were trying to sell us Srimad…

Do you need a break? From what? Yes! I need a break from anything that is political and violent. I have been trying to change my YouTube and facebook feeds to something positive by the things I watch. It has been a project of mine. So much of hate going on. I started watching videos…

The most important invention in your lifetime is… When I was a little girl, we went to our grandparents house in Kerala for our summer vacation. An overnight journey on a train from Chennai and two trains later we would be with our maternal grandparents. I do not know about now but then Indian railways…

Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end. Getting up in the morning to see a spread of breakfast buffet (all kinds of cuisines) and unlimited coffee! Spending a the mid morning on a stroll along a lake or an ocean. Spending the rest of the morning reading a book and people watching. Come…

How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life? Got myself a new reading glass yesterday. The power has gone up! On the higer side! Remembered the first time I picked one. Felt as if I was getting old. But as time passes it has become a part of…

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done. A prompt that I have not written for! I am surprised at myself. The prompts have been spot on the same for couple of years and this one I have never touched it 😀! Maybe there one too many things on my “to do list”. Ha…

A few days back I was talking to my mom. We were talking about Kancheepuram and silk sarees. I told her that I had a wonderful experience purchasing a saree when I visited Kancheepuram on my last India trip. She was surprised! She didn’t even remember me purchasing one. Yesterday, I had a wonderful opportunity…

What’s your favorite thing to cook? Usually I post what I cooked on the particular day for this prompt. But “Yay” me! I have leftovers. I cooked and also got some food boxes from the temple yesterday that Monday morning looks like a breeze. Punxsutwaney Phil saw his shadow and we have six more weeks…

It is February first! For most here in the cold Northeast of USA this definitely was a long month. We came back from a trip to the desert southwest on the first of January. Me, adding an extra day really made a difference since we saw an extra National Park and January was not a…

What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it? I am afraid of snakes and heights. I write about it a lot! But I do see a lot of people posting things saying many things are unhealthy or giving medical advices and creating fear online. Then…
