Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

The recent terror attack on Mumbai has been a dampener and has kept me low for over 3 days now. So woke up this morning, smelt a cup of coffee, went to the nearby walmart store, and picked up a Christmas tree. It surely has brought the festive spirit in me. It indeed is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

I'm still reeling under its effect

No words can express the sadness that has dawned on me after reading the story of so many broken dreams due to the recent terror attack. Mahatmas like Gandhiji, Bhagat Singh, Mangal Pandey, Sarojini Naidu, Chandrashekar Azad and many more fought for a free India, just to have it crucified by terrorists every other day. I feel scared to even walk on the streets of my own nation. Is this what we deserve, is this our destiny, or is this a sneak preview of our future? Pls. Save My India.

I salute the spirit of Mumbai-ites.

Mumbai might be one of the most vulnerable cities in India, but its people are not and this has been proved over and over again by the way the Mumbai-ites bounce back to life after every disaster. Be it a 7/11 attack, or mass distruction due to a natural calamity or a terror attack like the recent one, Mumbai sure bounces back with unity. I salute the spirit of Mumbai-ites.

I am sad...

I am both angry and upset with the terror attack on Mumbai. Is it so difficult for people to live in peace and harmony with each other. India surely a free nation, but can one live in this free nation in peace??? I don't think so. The Indian govt. needs to do something quick.

On a rainy day with mild snowfall

View from my balcony

Wow isn't this view heavenly??

Is Monica Bedi Naïve or just a victim of circumstances?

Monica Bedi who was one of the participants in Big Boss season 2, mentioned that her motive to be a part of the reality show was to clear her doubtful reputation & show to the public her true self. Well whether Monica managed to clear her maligned image or not, she did come across as a naive person who can be easily fooled by anyone. She was nothing more than Rahul’s unpaid servant, washing his cloths, stacking things for him in the bathroom, making his bed and what not. Rahul used Monica to gain more popularity and Monica did not even realize it. She fell for him despite of seeing him flirt with Payal. Either Rahul is just too good with women or Monica is just too gullible.

Tea & Pakoda.

The met dept has given a snow fall warning and the temp outside right now is minus 8 degree C. Its painfully cold outside and what could be more interesting than watching snowfall with a cup of hot tea and some pakodas. Yes that's exactly what I did to beat the cold. Pakodas, tea and rain / snow fall all complement each other.

Bed Tea

What a pleasure it is to get a cup of hot tea right on your bed especially on a day when the temperature is -5 degree C. It almost sets the mood for the rest of the day.

Bigg Boss 2

The reality show with a bunch of losers as participants competing for Rs. one crore has finally come to an end. Although Ashutosh winning the show was expected after Rahul's exit, what was most unexpected was Rahul Mahajan getting the title of "Bada Dil wala". All this makes me feel that the show might be fixed, not to forget the fact that Rahul Mahajan is a major share holder of colors channel. Despite of his reputation of being a gay, a wife beater and a compulsive womanizer Rahul managed to both entertain and enchant the viewers. Winning 'Bigg boss season 1' title did not boost the career of Rahul Roy, so it would be interesting to see where these participants go from here.

Aarti the cook .....

Its always a pleasure to cook for a loved one. Can't believe I cooked so much in a record time of one hour. Not bad at all isn't it ????!!!

On a snowy day ..

This is how my neighborhood looks on a snowy day.

Sweet Memories ..

Sometimes sweet memories get attached to something as simple as a piece of furniture. I sill remember the amount of fun I had putting this dinning table together.

Home sweet home ..

The best place in this world they say is 'HOME', and I can't agree to it any less. I love my kitchen a lot as I spend a lot of my free time there doing culinary experiments.
