Vadas, after almost forever…. They did lose some points on presentation, but the taste was just what I remember. Received a gift from a dear friend. “Do one thing every day that scares you”. A journal to make you get over the little fears and insecurities that hold you back. Showed some tough love today. […]
Finished putting up the tree… whopee dee… huge effort, but so worth it when it’s all lit up 🙂 Spent the evening testing and fixing fairy lights. Lol … you imagine a colour, we own it. A light, funny conversation with a witty friend. That’s like pakoras and chai on a rainy day. Perfect.
Mom surprised me with a yogurt based curry today. It’s been so long since I had it that I didn’t remember it even existed. Got the TV table decorated and an impromptu photoshoot ensued.
Waking up to the smell of spices roasting. Hmm… coriander for the win. The magnificient colours in the shop windows. Despite the heat and the dust and the crowds, shopping in India is much more delightful than the dreary black/brown/grey shopping in Europe. Visited a shop that I frequented more than a decade ago. Not […]
Danced to music I haven’t heard in ages. Lol. Such memories. Met the whole Hyderabadi clan today. Whoa….. we need to get into shape. Aunt L’s happy hugs and sheer joy. Bless her. She’s such a darling and her words are so genuine.
Gifted a Santa that I bought over a year ago. I’m sure he’s glad to be out of the closet! Met a little girl on her 1st birthday and once more on her 7th birthday. My, how time has flown. Being called to the front of the line while shopping at a wholesale mart. Made […]
Seeing the joy on my parents’ faces when the caught the first glimpse of me. Despite waiting for hours due to a delayed flight. Feeling loved and cherished by my parents and their never ending attention and then a surprise visit by my cousin and her 2 daughters. Love meeting them 🙂 Catching up with […]
We take flying for granted, often complaining about tight confines and bad food, but being up in the air so many hours got me thinking of the simple details that kept us alive in a heap of metal soaring through the air. Ever wonder how the -57F doesn’t bother us? The ground staff and the […]
The many offers to help that came my way. So glad I’m blessed to have so many kind people in my life. One went over and above…. And over and above and over and above. Wow. A slow day was all I needed to bounce back from the bug that got me down. Feel the […]
Whoo hoo… enjoyed telling pretty much everyone that it’s my last day at work. Some envy, but mostly joy. When an unexpected comment from an ex-boss made the client go all goo-goo ga-ga over my current team. Olé, Olé! Found a few misplaced gifts. Such relief, such joy!
