Gratitude List – May 2016
May 31, 2016
I still can’t believe May is over. This month just breezed through with the thunderstorms and showers that hit us recently. The temperature has dipped and it feels like our good old Bangalore once again. This month I read Sanch’s post on The Gratitude Myth and her thoughts stayed with me longer that many other … More Gratitude List – May 2016
A Decade of Love..
May 27, 2016
There are those very few times when you want to write a lot but thoughts do not come easily when you start penning. The feeling of ‘ already shared a lot’ overrides on ‘there is still so much to share’ thought. It’s hard not because there are no thoughts but because sometimes, even written words … More A Decade of Love..

May 25, 2016
Most people love to experiment with food. They want to understand the food that’s on their plate and if given a chance, they want to see what can go well with what?

#MicroblogMondays – Those Language Nuances

What happens when you meet, while you tweet? A TweetUp. I had a good answer to give this Monday morning when I was asked, how was my weekend.

My Ideal Yatra
May 14, 2016
‘Yatra’ is a Hindi word meaning a journey or a trip. While some plan on the go, there are also those who are meticulous planners who prefer to lay down the itinerary and chalk out the plan to a T before each travel. Which category do I fall? Neither of the two. I prefer discovering … More My Ideal Yatra
#Foodventures – Desserts complete a meal
May 10, 2016
Aaj meethe mein kya hai? (What’s for dessert today?) A sentence that I hear almost every single day and has never annoyed me.

The only challenge is health and the calories we can pile on with everyday … More #Foodventures – Desserts complete a meal
