When I holiday in India this is my most favourite drink to have on a hot day. Not only is it refreshing it’s also very yummy. Try this recipe out. In India they usually use still water but you can replace that with sparkling water or soda water. Continue reading Nimbu Paani – Indian Lemonade
I bought a huge bag of oats thinking I’d make great face packs, fabulously filling breakfast oats served with honey and fruits and a whole load of other things. Nothing of that sort happened and finally I just decided to make cookies out of the oats. At least they’d get consumed that way! I’m still devising a recipe for the face mask….

While Deepak Chopra and other self-help, life enhancing, life coaches may have made millions writing about 7 types of habits, I thought Iโd throw in my two bits worth. Of course I donโt expect to be paid in millions for this though if the boss is so inclined who am I to say anything? So anyway, kids do and say the darndest things; Iโd know. Iโm a Mum of two gorgeous kids but they do puzzle me with their peculiar habits sometimes. Continue reading 7 Peculiar Habits of Children

I am not single because I wanted to be single. I am single because I was forced into it. The relationship I was in didnโt work out because neither of us could see eye to eye and no one can accuse me for not giving my all to this relationship to work. I tried my best but I guess it wasnโt good enough. Continue reading Because I’m Single…
I suppose because it isn’t a milestone birthday his family wasn’t around him today. Yup – Obama was home alone as his birthday dawned while his wife took the kids to summer camp. I suppose he probably doesn’t find his birthday a big deal (how can you NOT?!) but being a huge public figure of course someone somewhere is bound to kick up a fuss about it.

I’m not anti-supermarkets but I’m also not the type of person who likes to spend ages and ages in one. Just get my stuff and get out. I’m quite an impulse shopper so I try to stick to a list that helps me stay on the track and not buy stuff I don’t really need. Continue reading Musical Shelves/ Aisles
