Our Experiments with Food

By -
What do you do when you are staying away from home where your favorite foods are not as accessible? You can either forget about them and have them when you go back to India or you can spend time whining about how you can't have them or you can just start making them. That's exactly what we started doing. We started making so many things that we took for granted back in India. Below is a glimpse of a few of our Experiments with Food.

Homemade Dosa and Idly

Now, this might be a very common thing in Indian households but then staying in Hyderabad, we had access to Dosas and Idlys at almost every nook and corner. And many a times I would just get idly batter from my mom and would directly make them, giving no more thought to it. Staying in Sydney, I started making the batters from scratch. So now having a Dosa or Idly is something that I can do at home.

Pizza

Funny as it may sound, Pizza back in India was cheaper and more tasty as well. The pizza I had here from Dominoes and Pizza Hut did not taste half as good. So we ended up making our own version of pizza and had fun.

Curd Rice

No, this is not just Curd and Rice mixed together. It is the tadke waala South Indian special curd rice. I had never made it at home simply coz I could have it at my mom's place. But coming here meant I needed to try my hands at this as well.

India to Australia - The PR process I followed

By -
Want to move to Australia and don't know what to do? Well, then you are exactly where I was about a year and a half back. I tried going through an agent and all that jazz but I realized it was way too much money. Then I set out to do my own research and understand all that I needed to apply for a PR. Since I had no knowledge at all and was researching all along the process, I ended up taking way more time than was actually required. I had to actually go through a lot of sites, YouTube videos and blogs to understand what needed to be done. When I entered Australia, the feeling of relief was overwhelming. To know that I singlehandedly managed the process from End to End (With a little help from the husband), was a feeling of achievement in itself. Today when I think about it, I realized how difficult it was for me to understand the entire process. Gathering information from different sources was a hassle. Hence, I came up with the idea of penning down my journey at one place. T...

Deep Cleaning Our Homes!!!

By -
Who doesn’t like a clean house. A house that is dust free and is immaculate always! Now wouldn’t that be a dream come true? Unfortunately, things don’t work that way. We need to tire and toil to ensure our house is neat and clean. I had shared a few tips in one of my previous blogs. Those were more like daily tips to keep the house clean. This blog is dedicated to deep cleaning the house. Here I will talk about tackling the stain in between the tiles, the food stuck in small parts of the stove and the huge French windows. These are just some small things that I learnt over the years and that I follow. Some of them come from the internet, some I learnt from my parents and some I learnt while experimenting on my own. If you think this topic interests you, then do keep reading. The Bathroom Now, the bathroom is something I feel that has the most germs. During my weekly cleaning routine, I ensure I clean my bathroom nicely. I clean/scrub the toilet (using a good toilet cleaner), w...

It was yesterday that I realised just how many backstabbing fools exist on this earth. But then on greater introspection and deep thinking I realised that maybe we are greater fools for allowing them to backstab us. Some of us have been very lucky to have really great friends who will stand by us come whatever may but there are persons who donot have a single friend to call their own. The social networking sites profiles show a huge friend list of 400 - 500 people. The other day i was browsing Orkut when I saw a profile having 996 friends and she had to create another profile in order to add more friends. The Question here is that how many of these friends are truly her friends. I am both lucky and unlucky. Lucky coz whatever be the number of friends I have I know that atleast i have a handful of true friends who will be there not only as my friends but also fulfill all the voids in my life that destiny has created. But am also unlucky coz i realised that out of those handful of friend...
