One extra day!

When  I woke in the morning, I realize that today is 29th of feb, a rare day, which comes after every four years....and in a minute I decided, Lets make it special. I have already made my mind to write a blog so that this date can be listed in my blog archive. This kind of opportunity can answer well the question like "What I will do if I'll get one extra day in a month?????".....So answer your  question like I did


Early in the morning I woke up and went to my backyard, which is kind of a shelter for five little pups and some adult dogs too...After seeing me they quickly turn in to happy playful mood which can't be avoidable. So I quickly brought my cell-phone to capture that moment and made this video which is worth watching.....These little cuties have made my day!

My day starts with a perfect joy, pleasure, excitement...and I enjoyed it thoroughly...active throughout the day....this is how I spent this extra day of mine :)

Though I'm bit late to post it here, but its fine I have done it after-all.

Tea for two and a piece of cake: My review

This is a third book by author Preeti Shenoy, recently released on 14th feb 2012. I eye-catch this on  Preeti Shenoy's personal blog and place my order on Flipkart.com  immediately. After 3 days I grab this book and start reading.

About the book

Preeti Shenoy has this unusual style of writing, which is easy to understand and relate with a pinch of humor too. well this book is a life and love story of a girl who lives in Mumbai, whose marriage took flight like a fairy-tale and got a sudden drop like a bomb in her life, then after she manages to live all alone with her two kids. An old friend gave her a support in all possible ways and made her life a lot more interesting.

The story was nice but not new, I liked the beginning....The title of the story was justified too late in the chapters (but its doesn't matter if one is reading the whole book) The characters were finely crafted and of all, I liked Mrs.Billimoria's character most.... The story wasn't that appealing for me but i did like some phrases and lines...

Like:

'Here you have it, tea for two and a piece of cake, plus, of course, conversation. This small moments are what make life worthwhile'


'No women ever hated a man so much as to return his diamonds'


I also like the description of the city Pondicherry , which is beautifully narrated

In last this book was just ok for me in comparison to the earlier books of Preeti. But anyways I love to read her and looking forward for more in the future.

Inspired By You...

Yesterday was really hard day for me...got sick and spent whole day on bed,surprisingly my parents came over to see me.... after meeting them half of the sickness of mine gone away.At night me and hubby were invited for a casual dinner,by one of us friend couple Manu and Shivani.We got ready to leave,by the time we were reaching to their place me and hubby had a small chit-chat fight in a car and it didn't end properly after reaching to their place.

The moment we entered in their house we both forget our fight just by seeing their home....which was kept so nicely and decorated with cute-cute smalls things.I like these kind of houses which are clean and kept nicely(point to ponder here is:nicely kept houses reflects some good part of the person's heart).I was so happy and only one word came out of my mouth and that was "beautiful"...in reply they said,"we got inspired by you..the way you use to keep the house".(actually we use to live in same kind of houses before moving to the current one) It was glad to listen that!...but after touring the entire place only one thought came in my mind and that was, now I'm inspired by you guys.

During the snack session they served us some awesome Cold-coffee and great looking Garlic-breads which were luscious and self-cooked by Shivani. Here is a small glance of it(though some of them were already in our stomach)

Everything was good I had a great time and discovered some new traits of the Good-Looking Couple. Thanks a lot guys really appreciate your hard work over this supper.



After leaving their house happily we went in search of our old pal the Rocky(rocky was our street pet dog when we use to live there) we looked for him through out the campus but we didn't find him. He might be hiding somewhere,so we decided to meet him next time and in this way we ended our pending fight also and at the end of the day we slept in peace.

Past six months in Kharagpur : My story

1. The first week was a heartburn due to complete demotion in the standard of living of the city, after passing splendid year in Delhi it was a shock!
2. The food is one degree down the taste and quality (Dhabas on highway in north India are more tastier).
3. Most of the serving in one n only ccd (cafe coffee day) in IIT are made from milk powder...which taste almost like some medicated syrup. 
4. Shops here open at 10 in the morning and closed by 12 noon, re-opens at 5 in the evening and closed by 8 pm...still you can't track which shop open at what time and day.
5. IIT students fly over the roads on cycle all around the campus.
6. If you wish for the rain then you only have rain rain n rain.
7. Coconut water is the most nutritious thing happened to me here.
8. Made some new friends here but I still miss my Delhi buddies.
9. The only sweetest thing we(me n my hubby) have here is plenty of time for each other.
10. I'm moving towards the middle of Kharagpur chapter sometimes I like being here and sometimes I dream to be somewhere else.

Present...wait for it....ation !

Friday night was the party night,just another casual party...So I thought to make it interesting one.

A sms from my friend reached me in the afternoon saying,"are we partying tonight?"....after some minute I reverted it back saying,"Let me check with my husband, what he says".I tried to call him but the network problem which is bothering me from past 2-3 weeks didn't allow me to connect to him....whatever....So,I decided to call it the party day and messaged my friends to come-over for a blast and this is how it started.

5'O Clock in the evening I started thinking for the menu for the eve. I made a list in my mind and began with the main course, which was 'Malai Kofta'.....Ya I was cooking it for the first time, so bit excited for it.But there was something tastier in my mind and then I became functional for the starters.Hot summer season is in the town so the starter should be Chatpata and luscious.So here is the list...

Sevpuri
Chilly cheese Toast
Cheese Finger
Cheese Dip

Lolz it was the cheesy day!!!

Well in limited time these three were the good options to make.

Guest arrived on time and I wasn't ready with my starters...they were waiting for me and calling me to join them fast...I told them,"just wait for the surprise guys..there is something special" and the funny part was I didn't allow any of them to enter in the kitchen..in case they won't ruined my surprise and they were teasing me...Oh! God we were behaving like a kid...it was the real fun.

For the snacks...I was conscious about the presentation...Then I pulled out my beautiful glass tray from its cover and set it for the presentation...My guests were excited too and curious to know what is the special surprise....I kept them on wait for long...and then it's time.

I kept that piece of creativity on the table in front of them...and waited for the reaction....

My guest were very happy.....now tel what's your reaction... ;) :P
