I'm a mom living in Virginia, enjoying chronicling my various escapes with the kids and around the kitchen. I believe being a mom involves a balance of holding on and letting go. And since being a mom is a 24/7 job, cooking though essential, needs to be as easy as can be. So peruse my blog for various experiences in parenting and experiments in cooking.
Raymond’s Best Man Speech. < snip, snip >
I love Everybody Loves Raymond. Saw an episode ” Robert & Amy’s Wedding ” where everything in Robert’s ( ie. Raymond’s elder brother) wedding is going wrong and all the people involved are miserable. Eventually, the most beautiful day of the wedded couple’s lives turns into a comedy of errors. At which point, Raymond has to give his best man’s…
Freedom Writers, Darwin’s Theory n Dussehra !
Touching on three different topics today. Will try to keep it short – Freedom Writers – I saw the movie : Freedom Writers yesterday. One of those movies that get you to actually Think. You actually feel for those innumerable kids out there who just don’t know right from wrong anymore. If only all teachers today felt that passionately about…

He got to talking to us about our food habits as Hindu Indians and till the next hour regaled us with anecdotes from his past, sharing with us life’s many lessons. He talked,…
More than a particle …
I really wish life came with an itinerary. A list of all the places we’ll be at, in our lives. 10 years back I would never have imagined that I would be where I am today, physically and mentally. So much has changed, and will keep changing. And now, I wonder where I’ll be next … How many times a…

Magic – is it real ??
Someone recently commented that I seemed like I believed in Magic. Not sure how they got that impression but then I got to thinking. Do I believe in magic ? What is magic after all ? I think in theory it’s basically anything related to the supernatural. But whose to say what the supernatural really is or to what extent…
Strings ???!!!! No thankyou …
Why are relations made so complicated, tangled up in expectations, formalities and mind games? Any friendship should be bound by heart, enriching your life in every way! Loaded with wonderful moments, sprinkled with laughter, with a lavish frosting of well meaning words of advice and lively, feel good conversations. Is a relationship that makes you uncomfortable or is really hard…
Keep Moving, Keep Smiling .
What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. Everything is ok, in the end ; if it’s not ok, it’s not the end. To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are. Loving yourself is the beginning of a life long romance. Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, try thinking about what you have that…
