The season’s first carrots,to make gajar halwa {Gajar halwa-Indian sweet made with milk,grated carrots and sugar}.

Because of work and a lot of changes in my personal life, I have decided to take a hiatus from blogging.I feel really bad, but with everything else being so crazy and up in the air, I need some time to re-focus and sort things out. I don’t know for sure,when I will start blogging [...]
So remember I had said I would like to see Paris and Greece-I dont think that’s ever going to happen. Why you ask? Cause all my vacations are to India. Image Credit-Via.

I am feeling very sick and am taking a mini break from blogging till Monday.My roommate is force feeding me hot water to help with my cold (How someone so tiny {She is 5′ tall} can be so bossy is amazing -but I am so glad that she is here-Its almost like having family around).So far [...]
I love white homes and the clean palette that they represent.Guido Chiavelli and his wife, Sabrina’s home, in the hills of northern Italy, perfectly balances function with practicality.Warm stone walls, rich textured hardwood floors, exposed wooden beams take center stage and are complimented by modern clean furniture, an industrial sized expansive spotless kitchen and an invitingly large fireplace-This [...]
Remember this post here -I was doing great back then,working out,eating healthy-You know, living the good life but since then it has all gone downhill.Here is what happened-I went on a holiday and luxuriated in samosas,parsi dairy farm kulfi and paneer tikka masala made by mum-If that wasn’t enough thrown in zero workouts and then you [...]

Despite the unrelenting sweltering heat of mumbai and the stomach bug I seem to have caught from eating samosas,I am loving being home.Talking to my parents, pulling my brother’s chubby cheeks, hanging out with my friends, eating pani puri galore -its all been perfect so far.Here is a quick glimpse at my week. Summer’s sweet [...]
Growing up I loved watching Yash Chopra movies whether it was oldies but goldies like Silsila and Kabhi Kabhi-I loved the scenic rolling Swiss hills and the flower fields that were trademark Yash Raj Films.Then came Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge which stole my heart and is one of my all time favourite movies.Yash Chopra once again dons the directors [...]

I learned how to cook from my grandmother,every summer when we would visit her she would sit me on the stool, while she cooked and tell me stories-Stories of runaway princess and dragons ,stories of a naughty lamb who got eaten by the wolf and was later rescued by his grandmother but intermingled with those stories were recipes and [...]
The long memorial-day weekend brings with it the opportunity to unwind,relax and recharge. My plans for the weekend include attending an outdoor jazz festival, a hour long lesson in portrait photography, finishing the final few pages of a cliffhanger novel and of course some scrumptious meals hopefully taken alfresco. Lately all I have been craving is sandwiches-it might be cause I only ate [...]

There is something about India that grounds me; Its reminds me of who I am and where I am from. Everywhere I turn, there is history -the playgrounds where I played hopscotch as a kid,the exact spot where my bicycle collided with a car and I ended up with a scar on my elbow,the schools [...]
