There’s so much to be thankful for each day, and to start my day with gratitude, a smile on my face, and a spring on my feet is the sure shot winning mantra to a happy, positive, rewarding day. Like most people, I’m blessed to have so much. If I were to start counting my blessings the list would be endless. But at the same time, these blessings also include a few things that I am lucky to not have…
#ALLABOUTME #BLOGCHALLENGE #10DAYYOUCHALLENGE 3 Films This is surely another big challenge to just name 3 favourite films, as the list again is endless. Tough call, but I’ll try to do justices to it. Music & Lyrics: Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore sure did a brilliant job of transporting us into the world of love, romance, comedy, and music with their wonderful renditions and powerful acting. It was a very endearing watch and I have seen it several times and…
#ALLABOUTME #BLOGCHALLENGE #10DAYYOUCHALLENGE 4 BOOKS The Prophet-Khalil Gibran. This has been my bedside bible for years and years now.

Food makes me happy, food perks me up on a gloomy day, food is elixir to my soul. On some days I think to myself if I was not such a foodie, I would be so slim and svelte. But then, I believe, life is meant to be savoured and enjoyed; and what better way…

#AllABOUTME #BLOGCHALLENGE 8 FEARS I am the kind of person who prefers to look at her fears squarely and face them headlong. I believe fears are a figment of our imagination. When we give them too much importance they turn larger than life and stick their ugly head out. Yet that been said, we are all human and some way or the other even I do cave into my fears, despite having the above notion etched in my head. Fear of…
#Allaboutme #blogchallenge 9 loves My Human and Dog Families and Friends Sunshine on my shoulder on a toasty winter morning. Cycling on early, nippy autumn and spring mornings into the verdant green and becoming one with the rising sun. Weaving together a medley of words that make for a fascinating read. Catharsis to the soul. My kind of food. And yes, my love for quite a few things sweet-cakes, caramel pudding, tiramisu, piping hot Gulab Jamuns, besan halwa to name…
