Spoonful of Stories

As we come to an end of this crazy year which taught us many things and gave us a different perspective to look at life, let me tell you a story. An incidence that taught me, all things don’t always go according to our plans and whatever the situation is, we can take out something… Continue reading Expect the Unexpected: Thought of the Year!

One dish I love to cook is, pasta. Any form of it. Penne, macaroni, spaghetti. In white sauce, with oil and herbs, as salad, absolutely anything. Pasta stirs my soul. Maybe I was born in Italy in my previous birth, I say it to my husband jokingly and he just rolls his eyes.   And… Continue reading È il mio cibo preferito (It is my favourite food)

Have your ever imagined staying underground? And I don’t mean basement of the house but having an entire city underground. When I heard about it, I couldn’t believe. How can anyone stay below the floor level, and that too, not just for a day but forever. These were my thoughts while we were planning Cappadocia… Continue reading To the land of fairy chimneys & pottery kebabs

A bong’s liking for food is next level. Even if you are dating him/her since long, you will truly get it once you start staying together 24X7. Same happened with me.

It was a weekday, nothing special about it. Just daily routine going on.We both were at home busy doing our own things. He was busy on the phone while I was watching some Marathi movie.

Weekend mornings are the best, because it’s time for a laid-back breakfast. We love having something different than the usual during weekends. My Sunday morning ritual is to wake up late (he wakes up early on weekends, really don’t know why, so just specifying, I wake up late), we read the weekend newspaper while enjoying… Continue reading Let me tell you about our Pancake Sunday..

There is a saying, “Be a learner first, a master second, and a student always”. We took this quite seriously. Professionals for almost a decade now, we went back to our student life. Only this time no actual classroom but a vertical one, no bunking lectures but taking time out, sacrificing weekends to attend them and… Continue reading Authentically Andhra!

Few months after our marriage while we were watching a travel show I said, let’s plan a trip to someplace unexplored. After an exhaustive research which lasted for a fortnight the destination was fixed and Turkey it was! For next many days we checked various websites and watched lots of Vlogs to plan our itinerary;… Continue reading Hello Istanbul…. Hoşbulduk (Happy to be Here)

The other day I overheard two aunties discussing. The 1st one said, you know; that Gujju girl married a Punju. The other said, my neighbor’s boy got married to a Catholic girl. Don’t know how she will cope in a Kannada family. The gossip monger went on and on…frankly, I don’t understand the fuss about… Continue reading Dumplings are fine, but Momos make you drool..

One thing I hate about corporate life is, working Saturdays. It is dreadful. In my previous organisation I used to work alternate Saturdays. And the worst part was, my husband has all Saturdays off. Yes, I know you will empathize with me. I used to literally drag myself to work and wait for the sun… Continue reading Weekend encounters – Have Jambalaya and Chill
