What is your favorite form of physical exercise? Today evening I plan to get some weights from the mall. Yup, I am now interested in strength training. My bestie has been pushing me. I do balance myself in yoga class but she said that is not enough for my heart. My bestie was the one…

How much would you pay to go to the moon? I am not a Moon person. So no money alloted for “go to moon mission”. If I do get some extra cash or find some change under my sofa cushions those would be allocated specifically to travel to plcaes on Mother Earth. That said, my…

What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? We all have our phones handy. Let it be at home or outside. Our phones are filled up with pictures of scenic beauty and food 😄! Guilty, mine is full of it. Spring flowers, summer vacations, fall colors and winter snow. I really do…

The tire pressure sign inside our car showed low and my throat was a bit irritated. Ha, the cold weather has landed and it is here to stay. The leaves are color changing, falling down and Mother Nature has come back to her normal routine. But we were offered a beautiful summer like weather last…

What major historical events do you remember? I am very good at remembering dates and events. Or should I say I was? Now I check my watch or phone if I need to sign up and date for the same. Are we getting overwhelmed with dates? Maybe just letting it go because anything can be…

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…
