Green tea!

That was the best green tea that I ever brewed in my life. Perfect taste, Perfect strength.

"Perfect Rangu, Ruchi, Chikkadanam..like they say in '3rOSES' ad."

Then I got this interesting thought. Just like in India, during match-making, a girl makes tea and if she makes it good, she gets praised by her in-laws.

Same way, in China, they might be saying, 'Our daughter makes the best green tea, best Noodles, and soup in whole China..! Haha...

The French Cafe in Miami Beach,FL

hOW CAN i FORGET the French restaurent I've been to in MiamiBeach,FL. It was raining heavily and we were in a mexican restaurent. We had our fahita with spanish rice in an outside seating. And little drops started, it was till fun!

The fun just started. Then It was heavy rain. We went inside. I did some ppl watching while my sis was searching for some french cafe which she was talking about.

There were a bunch of well dressed girls who came for a girl's weekend, Nice pink dress, one girl was simple but beautiful. She seemed beautiful inside out. I did some face reading..:).

And so, we went to this French Restaurent,

A La Folie Café

It was very 'French' according to my sister. Now I know what it is. We had a nice dessert called 'crepe', that was my first time.

It was drizzling and we were eating the crepe, I cant forget this experience. Rain would have made it more memorable I guess.

People and what they say..!

Sometimes, people hurt your mind with what they say. It hurts very sharp.

Only a song can soothe my mind...Thank God, that he invented something called Music!

Whenever there is a mind block, only good music can release it. Mind has thoughts like flowing water, When the flow stops, it stinks.

Music releases the locks and releases the mind..!

Just a random thought..

Just got a random thought that I will be putting nailpolish to my future baby boy's cute feet one day and posting this photo in facebook..:)..

People and Conversations

Why is it that your mind becomes blank as soon as you start talking to some people? But with some, you do not feel to stop talking.

With others, you cant even finish a conversation.

Hardwork..khoon pasina..

"Mehnat ka phal Meetha Hota Hai", I can say that my hardwork payed off today. I missed my sleep yesterday for a huge incentive for our team. And guess what? I did well. A pat on my back. I will sleep yesterday's sleep today. That will balance out my sleep cycle.

Often, we dont realize how much hard work we put in work. We just keep working hard and trying to prove ourself the best. But, we should appreciate and treat ourself that

we came this far in life.

Be Grateful to yourself!

Do Dil Mil Rahe Hain

what a song..Just close your eyes and listen to it and tell me how you feel. Its very relaxing.

They captured the Delhi's mornings, near a historic place.

Daddy's Girl

How is it to be a Daddy's Girl? I don't know. It must be feeling very special. Here's what the girl would write:

'From the day I was born, you cradled and cuddled me in your hands.

My every act made you smile. My every smile you made you happy. Even a single tear in my eye, made you cry.

Daddy: Life has its up and downs. But from the day were born, that changed my life. My sorrows turned into excitement.

Even the most dull moment turned to be a 'not that bad'. Life is more tolerable.

Before I used to get frustrated when I get tensed. But now that I see your smile, my heart sings a happy song all the time!

Thank you for coming into my life and making my life a great gift!

Dont know what made me write this post. Just seeing an excitement of a father, I could say all this. Daddy's girls are lucky!

Forgiveness

I forgave someone with whom I had a fight. I feel much much better. There was some suffocation inside thats relieved.

Ego was stopping me from going to them. But they came to me and its all good.

Birthdays

Birthday's do make you feel special. I dont like it to end! But what to do.

Toy Story!!

Ok, I LOVE Toy Story! Cant believe that I didnt see this till today!

Just imagine if all the toys could talk? Barbie and Teddy Bear it they talk to you, how would you feel?

The character 'Woody' resembles Hindi hero, 'Devanand' to me. Dont you agree? The way he nods his head..:)

And I love this teddy bear,

Toy Story is a story about how the toys talk and their own world.

I have been a Disney-Pixar fan and will be forever!

A Girl thing!!

Hey you..girlie..girl..why do you like other's shoes. Others shirts..Others pants..Others purses...Others everything?

Is this a girl thing? Or I am just too much of a girl..that I often get disappointed at my stuff..I dont know, But when I look back at my old photos where I am wearing the same shoes, I just thought I loook goooood...!!

Put yourself in others shoes when you look at yourself.

So, the solution..Whenever you are disappointed about your appearance..look at an old photo where you are wearing that and it gets you to the reality.

Things that sooth you inside...

Almond Milk!!! Yes, Almond milk with Quaker Oats(blueberry + apple) is heavenly combination!!!
Soo...sooothing to the stomach..If you had a bad day or a day when you had the wrong food, when you just want to relaxxxxx, have this at night, you will forget everything!
If you are happy inside, you are happy outside too..
So, therefore keep your innerside happy.
Give it whatever it wants.

MY Balcony...!!!

My Balcony..green colored flooring was selected by my Dad green is an out-door color.

He chose brown for kitchen and light peach for hall, I still remember.

Memories..yes lots of them. When we first constructed our house, my height was with the height of the balcony.

Today, I hold my hands on the balcony...:) Yes, I have grown up but the balcony didnt..:).

This was our evening and morning spot while drinking tea and coffee and watching the road. And ofcourse do people watching.

You can sit here all day and watch people and not get bored. You just need a friend who can make good tea and have long conversations.

This was the same balcony where I had head massages sunday ke sunday.

This was the same one where I spent my afternoons. Its like whenever I got stressed out, I used to run out and come here to just sit..It was my refuge.

Powercut and Rajma..!

hehehe..you must be laughing reading my title.

Today we had a partial power-cut in my apt. The kitchen didnt have any light but we used the light from the hall.
Since we have Gas Stove, we could atleast cook.

I thought of making rajma, the can opener didnt work. I had to beat with a knife to open the can...huh.

Though we had a power-cut, I enjoyed it. We cooked by the candle-light. The red rajma looked more delicious in the candle-light for some reason.
After cutting onions and tomatoes, I started cooking. The moist onions in the candle light with the juicy tomatoes and garam masala..yummmmmy it was even to cook.

Preparing a meal with no light but only candle light seemed to be more fun and native and this is how early man used to eat slow-cooked meals I guess.

Well I enjoyed every bit of it! Rajma never tasted better..!

Taare Zameen Par and Mumbai..

Whats the relation between Taare Zameen Par, Mumbai and Omelettes??

For some reason, This movie increased my love for omelettes.

I feel that more people in Mumbai eat omelettes than in Hyderabad. May be because of their busy lives, they think its easy to cook in the mornings.

For me, Omelette is like Dosa batter with a lot of protein. Just break the egg and you got your batter. You dont need the long procedure in making dosa's.

Its a quick dosa!

Florida Orange Juice!!!

I have driven to Orlando many times but cant forget this last trip where we stopped at the exit as it was advertised that they are providing, 'FREE ORANGE JUICE', that caught our eye as it was written in big fluorescent letters.

Yummmmmm...there were samples of 5 varieties of oranges, Navel Orange, Red Navel Orange, Red sugar baby(they named it that way), Honey-Oranges and one more....

They were cut into small pieces and placed them on the table for samples. It was unlimited supply of Oranges.

Just imagine what happens when you continuously eat oranges. My mouth was filled with the citrus freshness. And my whole body too....

And inside the gas station, there was FREE orange juice. I had about 5 cups.
It was Citrus goodness for FREE!

However, its just a sales trick. I bought 4 $ worth of oranges because of all this.

OH well, its only benefiting me, so I dont mind..:)

I had about 5 red navel oranges and red sugar baby orange slices.

Soo..Refreshed and Rejuvenated I was.....
