Birthday Joke for you dear

A man asked his wife, "What would you most like for your birthday?" She said, "I'd love to be ten again." On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright and early and they went to a theme park. He put her on every ride in the park - the Death Slide, The Screaming Loop, the Wall of Fear. She had a go on every ride there was. She staggered out of the theme park five hours later, her head reeling and her stomach turning. Then the were off to a movie theater where they ate popcorn and sweets and drank Cola. At last she staggered home with her husband and collapsed into bed.

Her husband leaned over and asked, "Well, dear, what was it like being ten again?" One eye opened and she groaned, "Actually, honey, I meant dress size!"
Cheers :)

Mom's Vegetable Rice

I like this Mom's vegetable rice recipe in fact this one is the first things i have learnt as i started cooking. Simple and fast, that's what i do find all the recipes which i can cook fast. Mostly after my work i hardly have time to cook. So this one you can make in 20 Min's.

Ingredients:

1 and 1/2 half cup of cooked rice
2 potatoes cut into 2.5 cm long slices
2 carrots cut in similar size
1/2 cup of frozen peas, defrost before using
1/2 lime

2 tablespoons oil
half teaspoon of turmeric
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon urad dal
1 teaspoon Channa dal
2 green chilies, cut into small pieces
few curry leaves
bunch of coriander leaves

Recipe:

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, when mustard starts to crackle add urad dal, Channa dal and turmeric. Now add green chilies, curry leaves, carrots and potatoes. When potatoes and carrots are fully cooked add green peas. Fry for another 5mins. Mix cooked rice and take care not to crush the rice. Take out from the heating plate and add lemon. Finally garnish with coriander leaves.

Latest crochet project (Pink Shrug)

Hey! Here i am, took a short break and i am back here again :)

This is my latest crochet project. As i was interested to make something to wear for this summer on sleeveless i thought of making this shrug. I am not so perfect with crochet to make my own patterns ;). I am good to try any kind of crochet pattern. I really love doing crocheting, how amazing when you can make some apparels yourself :) some fashionable stuffs you make yourself.

I tried to use my left over yarn from my previous project. I liked this colour and cotton yarn, but the gauage didn't match for this pattern so i tried to adjust it myself according to my size (not that i am good at it).

Here's link to this pattern http://www.coatsandclark.com/Crafts/Crochet/Projects/Apparel/LC1508+Tie+Front+Top.htm



How cool is that ? I like this combination of skirt and blue sleeveless top.

Leather Brown & Black

Brown and black colour is mostly the colours i buy when it comes to shoes, belt, Purse, even earrings ;)

missed car driving

Oops!! i missed my appointment today. last night i was thinking i am going get up at 8'o clock tomorrow but damn alarm keeps ringing i almost got up, but then slept again. I still don't know what dream caught me ;)

I hate to miss it :(.

I apologized the instructor the moment i got up and got another appointment with him. I still have theory class to attend so i did in the evening.

hope to make next time on time for the appointment. I am so much enjoying to learn car driving. Now that i understand the fundamentals of mechanics its easy to drive nevertheless still some more class to go.

Right now i need to cook somethg for myself. Damn Hungry!!!

Finally the wedding

Its a mixed kind of wedding taking some of the traditions from marwadi style and some from other caste. oh!! A real Challenge i should say, not just different traditions its completely different cultures coming together.

So the plan was then to make marwadi style reception and wedding in other style. I am happy that things went well overally with all preparations. Its small and simply wedding. Unfortunately some of our good friends couldn't come due to several reasons, i really wish so much that everybody could come, but cant help sometimes in our lives we cant expect everything we think, will happen. So in life we have to be contented with what we get.

I am so much happy for this moment in our life, it was long awaited time. Its quite obvious right ? And you can see that in my face. After all its beginning our life together :)



Isn't it wonderful Ghagra(dress)??

Wedding preparation

I can't believe its only one month for the wedding and preparations have to be done when i arrive in India. Its such a nice time i can shop so many things hehhheeeee. So to my excitement to reach my home i couldn't rest whole my flight.

One of friends the person i adore most meeting her and the family was so nice, She's the most inspiring person in my life. We went on drive and i was going outside first time after reaching India because it was too hot i didn't go out. I have to also remember all the areas and routes again within 2 years its changed a lot, everything looks different now.

Ahh Hyderabad feels so different, it's like going to new city where you don't know anything. Girls really don't walk on streets, most of them actually going by taxis or taking their own vehicles and i know another reason why some ppl have such look that they only X-ray (go damn you stare at yourself i like saying and actually I did when one guy was actually staring at me while i was in an auto. All of a sudden i just shouted at him, he was total surprised! Definitely, he does know girls can do too) Don't you feel disgusted with such ppl ? I am not used to ppl staring at me like that here and i can't take it. What a world we live in! Anyways, I am irritated with it and don't want any girl to live under the shade and keep bearing such things in their life.

So back to my preparations i have like 10 days to finish all my shopping buying Sarees, dresses, Ghagra, bangles, sandals etc. get cloths stitched. Its great to shop but not when you have less time.

I finally got rest to brain after i finished my major shopping, to my luck i found most amazing ghagra it's my sis choice when she saw the material she just loved it. I didn't how its going to look after stitching. I had no idea who is going stitch but i found some great tailor who does this thgs usually, but finally when its done its just the right one for me, thanks to my sister.

And i got this expensive saree i could imagine ahh i just loved the colour and fancy work. I tot its worth it after leaving the shop i don't want to feel i missed something nice.

Here's my beautiful mehndi :)

Was done by professional mehendi lady, finding right one in the right time, what a luck!
