During Bloganuary prompts in January there were two prompts. One, who was my inspiration and the other what was the road trip I would like to take. Amazing as it happens I did take a surprise road trip last week to Dallas from Pittsburgh to celebrate the person who inspired me. Long before the pandemicContinue reading “My Road Trip”

Rituals
I love my religious rituals. I keep blogging about all the Hindu festivals I do but this Friday I performed Varalakshmi Pooja. A prayer invoking Goddess Lakshmi who gives wealth and prosperity. The prayer time is short but the rituals that involve start the previous day and end the next day. So I am busyContinue reading “Rituals”
Acceptance and Adaptability
Today I saw a couple of people wearing masks and glasses comfortably. When we all were asked to wear masks, some did it on their own, some were forced and some did not care about it. My brother called me one day and said, it is hard to wear masks and glasses since, the breathContinue reading “Acceptance and Adaptability”
Some Kitchen Work
If you don’t engage my special one, he can be a nuisance. That is how we started cooking. Our main course is sambhar and the curry powder I use is completely homemade. The past few years I make my son participate in dry roasting the ingredients and making into a powder. Usually this quantity lastsContinue reading “Some Kitchen Work”
Visit Erie
Many years ago I used to watch a reality show called the amazing race. Participants start at one place in the US travel around the world and are eliminated as they travel along. I loved every part of the show since the adrenaline rush is high. Visiting different places, doing different activities, meeting different culturalContinue reading “Visit Erie”

Happy 4th of July!
With so many red white and blue projects with my boy in the past six weeks forced me make some American food for my parents. A 4th of July party setting with zero planning. Being vegetarians my younger one shopped for his grandparents so that they can eat at peace without questioning about the ingredients.Continue reading “Happy 4th of July!”
S’mores
Day 30! Final day of my challenge. It was a sweet afternoon that my special one enjoyed so much. An activity he volunteered 💯 percent 😀! We made s’mores. Of course he loved it since it is just all sugar and chocolate. Few years back during a fall festival I tasted my first smore givenContinue reading “S’mores”
Fly a Kite 🪁
Day 29! As I finished the activity for today, my Dad called me a ring master😂! Yes everyone participated in the activity today. I grew up in a very conservative household and one activity a girl was not allowed to do was fly a kite! Ha Ha, even if they had got me one IContinue reading “Fly a Kite 🪁”
