“I have to do something before I turn into Adnan Sami”.
This was my favourite line while discussing my fitness plans (that never saw the light of the day) with all and sundry. Till one day, when on a whim, I went and bought a weighing machine. And as per the damned machine, I am ALREADY [...]

Stories from the bedroom
When one wants to read, the other wants to catch some sleep.
When one is getting ideas, the other is fast asleep.
When one buys a furry blanket, the other has an allergy.
When one is sweating like a pig, the other is cozy in a quilt.
When one wants the lights off, the other has to have them [...]
The packetless diet – Update 1
What’s a good girl to do when she is swamped with work, is hours away from a deadline and severely sleep deprived? Make a random post like this one.
So how’s the packetless diet going? Well I am still alive. Seconds after writing that post and publishing my decision to follow the diet, I realized what [...]
Mallu style ishtu
Edited to add: The source of this recipe is this recipe from Shn of Mishmash. My apologies for missing out on this earlier.
Last Sunday was Easter (hope you had a great long weekend), and for the husband that translates to eating appams dipped in stew. Since I am a vegetarian, I prepared appam with [...]

Best days of life

A good book
I’m at a stage where I need serious therapy for deaddiction from reading blogs. For example, a Sunday is not quite a Sunday, unless I read post secret with my morning chai. A weekday is not a weekday, unless I get my daily fix of the brat and the bean. And then there are the [...]
TV Reality
When I read this, I realized that it has been three months of no television programming for us too! We moved into a new house and decided against getting a new connection. Just like that.
It might’ve been due to the fact that we weren’t too excited about interacting with a cable guy, yet again. The [...]
Daylight robbery
You know how it is when you go shopping at a bookstore right? You buy and you buy and you still can’t get enough. So when I got tired of scanning row after row, shelf after shelf and bagged books and DVDs that could last me saat janams, I pulled myself to the billing counter, [...]
