Dhurandhar Dhania Chicken



So, the other day we (my husband and I) completed two years (time flies!) of being engaged. It is not like I celebrate our monthly anniversary but we somehow remember the day of our engagement. 

Not many people know that while my parents were looking for a suitable match for me I had asked them to find a family who would let me cook chicken for cooking chicken is not allowed at my place *HUMPH!*. And during my postgraduate days I enjoyed experimenting and creating various dishes with the white meat.

Now, my husband absolutely loves home cooked chicken. And, since I never shy away from doing something special, I decided to cook my husband a chicken curry to celebrate two crazy years of our engagement.

Vegetable Clear Soup



Just the other day I had heavy food during the first half of the day. I was planning to skip dinner but since I prefer eating something light over skipping a meal altogether I started brainstorming for dinner menu ideas. I was still thinking when I noticed the assorted vegetables sitting in the refrigerator shouting out to me to use them. And that is how I zeroed in on making myself some vegetable clear soup.

Tried and Tested Home Remedies for Tanning

image source: google

The summer is here and it brings with it the most common problem; tanning. I come across various solutions for this problem in beauty magazines and online sites but some remedies work and most of them fail. Since I have grown up with a grandfather who looked no less than a model in his youth, I have always been updated with easy to follow beauty tips at home to maintain the charm.

So I thought to bring my readers some respite by sharing the home-remedies for tanning that I have tried, tested and seriously swear by.

Vrindavan: Shri Bankey Bihari Ji Temple

My husband had a friend’s bachelor party to attend over the weekend. It was the perfect opportunity for me to visit my parents, since he had to cross my zone.

Now my family already had plans of a day trip to Vrindavan on Sunday. Since I had not visited Vrindavan in a long-long time I decided to go with the flow. I mean I decided to tag along with my family for the day trip.

Khushi's creative gesture

It is beautiful how sometimes little gestures make your day special and unique; little gestures that emanate from unconditional pure child like love. 

I had really not planned to write a post today till I met Khushi, my husband’s eleven year old cousin and my youngest sis-in-law.
