Hello Hello Great Ladies, Mommies and Nannies (Daddies if any too)! I made it through. Yeah, my lil infant accepted her first meal, finally. She must have felt sorry for me and gave in. Phew!

What is the best expression of love? People show their affection in one or in many ways! Well…spending quality time together comes as first choice; exchanging gifts, works for materialistic people; acts of care and service is definitely a way to go; physical touch, caresses and patting, tops everything up; and last but not least […]

I miss my Motherland (actually I prefer saying it as Fatherland though)! I want to go to India so very badly. Most likely I will schedule a trip when the Malgovas ripe or whenever the Lufthansa flies dirt cheap (once in every five years)! So, basically there are three great things that steals my heart […]

Before a week begins…I make at least 291+ visits to the various grocery stores to fill up my pantry (what if I miss any essential ingredients for cooking, like betel nuts??). So, basically my weekends are jam-packed with too many commitments. Besides the shopping spree; a huge pile of paperwork; the never ending lawn mowing; […]

Once my brother lamented, how…many people don’t converse but just talk a lot! You can read more about it on his ‘Quarter Biriyani Matter Over’ titled blog! Oooops, “Error 404.
