I journal. Everyday. And I get a lot of deep insights as I navigate my thoughts. This particular thought had me thinking…(oh look, ‘thought had me thinking’ – how words are failing me, I tell you) We’ve been told what life is all about, how to live our lives and the whole nine yards. But …
If you are wondering what’s so interesting about a bland cucumber salad, then you have to read this! The picture doesn’t do justice because I couldn’t bother shooting an aesthetic one, so pardon me for that. The last couple of weeks have been too delicious, too rich and too over-stimulating for my gustatory receptors. Oh, …
Looks like it’s time for a reintroduction… Not because I have a sudden influx of new followers but for a simple reason that there’s been lot of changes. I’ve changed too. And I feel the need to share that with my loving community here. I started on this platform for the sole purpose of sharing …
With rains pouring relentlessly, the heart yearns for something cozy. Times when the floor is cold and there’s a nip in the air, are quite rare here in the south. And therefore the inconvenience and unpleasantness of the wet weather had to be flipped. I want to remind myself to find joy in everything and …
As I look outside at the gloomy weather, I reminisce on the week gone by. Yes, Diwali was celebrated with pomp and glee. I met my parents and brother during this Navratri season after almost a year and then again this Diwali, and it was bliss. While we were in my hometown, which has a …
If you have never tried this one, you definitely must! Now the story goes like this. I didn’t start out planning to make them and I really don’t know how I ended up with these. All I wanted to do was churn out the butter from the cream I’d collected over the week. As I …
Our relationship with resources and how we use it will determine the future course of events. Being a good steward of Earth is our responsibility. We can’t take it lightly. As the saying goes, “We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children”. So we have a huge responsibility …
Sometimes people ask me… “That looks really hard.” “How do you do it?” “Growing food and running multiple businesses must be exhausting?” And I have to tell you.. It’s HARD! There are days when I am moving non-stop. But, not once do I wish I’d have it any other way; I do all these things …
We have tried a couple of Julia Child’s dishes after that amazing first one. There was “Pear liqueur Claufeutis” and then “Gratin Dauphinois”; (btw, learning to pronounce them is half the fun I say) I had shared these only on my stories as they didn’t quite make us fall head-over-heels in love. The former felt …
This year my farm helpers were especially persuasive about celebrating ayudha pooja at the farm. Every year we’d mostly travel to our native place and therefore never had a chance to perform pooja at the farm. But last weekend while at the farm, they broached the subject and as always we said we will be …
