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”

Dazzling
I am on a roadtrip to Dallas. It can be called a pilgrimage too. The past few days I have been at Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple in Frisco. The dazzling architecture made me feel nostalgic . Inspite of the hot weather every vistor takes time to capture their picture in front of the Temple.
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”
Touch wood
Last year my garden was attacked by a bunny . He munched anything and everything that grew. Growing plants was hard. It was depressing to start my garden this spring. But I am raising an autistic boy. So I always have hope. So we started with so many precautions. But the bunny family had multipliedContinue reading “Touch wood”

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”
Cleaning up
The past few weeks I have been trying to clean up my house. To start the process of clearing things out I found out I needed to have a strong mind. Even a tiny bit of attachment to a piece of cloth or a mug is going to collect dust again. Two weeks back IContinue reading “Cleaning up”
Sunday on the Montour
When I did my bucket list in June, one activity I wanted to do was a 5k walk. To do a 5k somethings need to be in place and it did not happen. But today was great. I have an app called map my walk that calculates distance, pace and time so I decided toContinue reading “Sunday on the Montour”
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!”
