Describe your life in an alternate universe. Dealing with some early morning back pain this week so my answer to the prompt would be a life that is pain free 😀! Oh boy there is a proverb in tamil that says tooth pain and headache needs to be experienced and I would say the same…

What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? We travel a lot. But I carry my instant pot. But then as the days go, the kids get bored and we get succumbed to their cravings and that is how we go them a plate of veggie burgers and fries…

I have a big fat ego about me able to multitask things. But today I burnt something while I was trying to organize a cabinet. Yes, I thought I could organize something and at the same time cook. Right under my nose (literally and figuratively), I burnt my dry roast ingredients. I thought I had…

Finally the weekends is over. There are two events almost every year our family participates compulsory. Usually they are not even close together and I have a breather. But somehow they fell in on the same weekend. Both required my son to wait for a prayer to be done, eat food outside be in the…

Describe one habit that brings you joy. I checked what I wrote last year. Even if the prompts are recycled looks like I am good. I had no clue what I had written. I did write “planning gives me joy”. When someone asks you these kind of vague questions with multiple answers we do come…

What are you curious about? I am at an age I am not curious about new technology. Drones for one I do not care. I saw a video how drones are used by Youtubers to shoot certain places and I felt it was too much work! Oh boy! I am just nervous would that be…

I opened the door to my sun room this morning and closed it fast. It was chilly. Really surprising since we have had some hot days and the cold front came from nowhere. My fitbit app did tell me my cardio activity had been low this week. I just need to blame the weather since…

This was a very busy month as we travelled a lot and filled our passport pages (National Parks 😊) yet a month I took myself a vacation from my son’s activities at home. Today we finally stepped inside Hobby Lobby and picked up materials to finish off crafts we started in spring. I enjoyed this…

What traditions have you not kept that your parents had? Love traditions. I have followed a ton of them and added a few more so my future generations can pick and choose. That said let me narrate a story my paternal grandmother used to tell us. In India a death anniversary is celebrated with priests…

Was today typical? I would say “yes” and “no”. My young man decided to take some cat naps. We had to skip his music class just because he was napping! Yes, the comfort of having an understanding teacher or the fear of waking a sleeping giant. I had some extra time on hand and decided…

How would you describe yourself to someone? If you want to know about me then check my “about me” page. Okay, I love humor and I can take things lightly. My dad and his siblings had and have a sense of humor and I think that is a good quality. Off late I am becoming…

I wanted to do a picnic today as we had harvested some tomatoes. I wanted to make tomato rice and eating at home was not an option for me. A little bit of research we found a great picnic spot at one of National Park’s Memorial sites. Johnston Flood National Memorial is the place a…

I hear thunderstorms rumbling but there is no rain. The past few days I have been blogging from a bleacher near Casey’ Clubhouse, a baseball field for Special people. I am enjoying this. Once fall rolls in I may not be able to do it. There are days I am really happy for the world.…

If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go? I would like to use the two free tickets to go to Los Angeles. Not now but during Olympics. Yes, kind of a rain check tickets in 2028. One ticket is for me and the other for my younger son who loves sports. Yes,…

I am not complaining about the hot weather but it took a toll with my young man loosing sleep last night. Loosing sleep now a days is few compared to many in the past. Even if he is up he doesn’t disturb us much. But if it happens on a week day the routine gets…

The past two days has been hot. Me and my young man got the opportunity to prepare the snack that needs sunlight to dry up. The 90 degree sun was not wasted a bit. A well wisher had suggested we make the same inside the garage and move it outside instead of doing it directly…

Esther Chilton’s writing prompt this week is faith. Faith is something close to my heart and here it is. I have always been religious but the faith gets tested so many times. It is my second attempt at learning Sundara Kandam. A section of the epic Ramayana. I am attending a class learning meaning and…

This is a vegetable not favorable for many. In India we call it brinjal and in my home only the green variety was purchased. Oh growing up it was my favorite. When I moved to the US, I learnt it as eggplant and we used to get the huge ones in the American grocery store.…
