Yesterday Me & husband went for a long drive...According to my husband it was like driving out all the tensions...It is always easy to get stuck with various responsibilities of life.... I am always thinking about future goals and often forget to enjoy the moment...But now i decided to enjoy each and every moment of my life...

 

Look in to my heart.........

When I say I don’t want to talk with you

It means that I have thousand  topics to share with you

When I walk away , I really want you to hold my hands

I didn’t know what i was thinking, what  i was doing

But I know one thing that I really love you….

Memories...........

Memories never die
They make us realize who we are
They make us experience magical moments once again
That are so special n close to our heart ........
Never want to erase those wonderful moments
Never want to stay away from the sweet experiences
That life has given me......

Memories on cakes

Today I was seeing the pictures in my laptop n i saw some birthday cake pics...Each of them brought me back to my college days...Truely each cake had a story to tell.......Well some of them were real cakes n others were our creativity...

This one was for my friend Shinta ( our chinta)...We planed something different for her..Bought different types of fruits n arranged then like a cake..finally lit candles on the top...Awww...It was beautiful....

 This was made for my friend Athira..She knew we would plan for her bday..She wanted something different ..she kept on saying that n we had to think of doing extraordinary ( exactly like her)..We bought some pastries n lays n arranged them...Athira liked it:) n she enjoyed her bday.......

Is'nt it looking spectacular?

    

Another bday cake for shintu... With bread n hot chocolate......N some honey too.....













Renu's bday...we always celeberated it with great fun...Once her bday was during our  internal exams n we were not prepared with cake ...We went to our hostel snackbar n bought two pastries...arranged some candles on the top  n made her cut exactly at twelve....

                                                      






                                                                               One birthday we always celeberated secretely....

Rakhi : The Thread Of Love

                                            

Today from morning I am hearing rakshabandhan wishes..I remembered my college days where we used to tie rakhi to our classmates just to get the gifts ( especially chocolates)...That was for fun we did n to be frank we didnt exactly realized the meaning...But being in Mumbai, I am experiencing the warmth n love that share during raksha bandhan...Some separate shops have opened exclusively for rakhi..Those colorful rakhis are so beautiful.. rakhi making competetions are being held in schools n residence associations...I see children participate in those competetions ...This is really a colorful festival...

                   

Bond of Protection

 

More about this festival....Rakshabandhan  is a festival observed in India , mostly among Hindus n Sikhs n some Muslims....This is a festival for celeberating the relationship of brother n sister...It involves tying rakhi (either handmade or readymade) by sister on her brother's wrist...This symbolizes the sister's love and prayers for her brother's well-being, and the brother's lifelong vow to protect her...

Welcome to mumbai......

We bid farewel to Hyderabad on Saturday...We had many luggages & we were worried that it would cause problems..But everything went good..As i was waiting to board my flight, i was thinking about my last 6months life in hyderabad..Everything , everymoment just flashed before my eyes.When i came to hyderabad for the first time, i was missing kerala food n Martin took me to kerala restaurants on every sundays..whenever he gets free time, we used to roam around in city..watching movies in our favourite "Talkie town"...we both loved to explore the places n try foods...soon i got a few friends n families...Family get togethers n parties..We never missed our Marthoma Sunday service also...Shopping in "Inorbit" n 3D movies in " IMAX "...Yummy " Paradise hyderabadi biriyani"...Our night walks...We will definitely miss those days...

                      

                                           My one hour flight to Mumbai  went good.. We reached the most populous city in India...Our vehicle was ready at the departure area..Now  2 hours travel from airport...I was having a very close look to the busy mumbai life...People are very busy walking..n some students in uniforms...Road is full of people n busy traffic..No one  seems to care about what others are doing...When we were passing the railway station road , i could see some people finishing their lunch on the roadside n rushing to get the train...Finally we reached Roha ..Our new place..Being  far away from the city, we could get the fresh air...full greeneries...n most importantly rain ...rain...rain...its continuosly raining here....

                         

           

Tiny forest in my kitchen

I have been searching in pinterest for putting something green in my kitchen & i came across some amazing ideas....They really liven up the kitchen interior..

They are easy to set up  & need less space....

Collect some small plants & keep  them near windowside..Let them enjoy the sunshine:)

" Dont throw , just grow it "...save the carrot & potato tops n put them in a plate (anything of your choice) with some water and expose to sunshine for a day ot two...they start grow..They are so alive & pretty:) I am loving this idea....

    
 You can also try growing some beans...

             Try out with onion bulbs

 Smart ideas for setting up a small garden......



           

Hiiii again.....

Today morning i realized that i am away from my blogging world for a couple of weeks due to many reasons...I was travelling quite a lot & really did'nt get a personal time...Well i am backkkkkk......

                         Last few weeks were  busy  for me..Me &  Martin went to our home town Kottayam , Kerala. It was a short vacation for us n five days juz flew by...We  had a haapy time with both our homes...Attended sunday service with parents. Moreover we enjoyed the rain everyday...Being in hyderabad , sometimes we dont get to see certain malayalam movies. We utilized this short vacation to watch malayalam movies with my brother. My brother was busy packing up & getting ready to go for his MBA course in coimbatore...the same college where me & my hubby  studied ...Karunya university coimbatore...well another karunyan from our family....
                           After our kerala trip we had to pack immediately for our next place..Roha , a place near mumbai...Martin got promotion as manager in Pepsico mumbai n we went there to arrange  our apartment. I think i am not gonna miss kerala because the place is almost like kerala. Its far away from the mumbai city...pollution free place....full greeneries n a few beaches nearby...We are excited  about the beaches over there...Next week we are saying goodbye to hyderabad...

Lovely Charminar model made of silver as a token of love........

Wonderful Goa.....

In March 2012 , we ( me & husband) visited Goa , the smallest Indian state. This beach destination of India is well known for its serenic beauty. Three days I spent  there & trust me I enjoyed each and every moment. We wanted to take a leave from the busy Hyderabad life. We started our journey in night. I always like the night journeys  . After 10hours travel we reached Panaji, capital of Goa. As soon as we got down in Panaji ,we saw many vehicle agents standing there. In Goa we don’t need to  search for the rent vehicle. Agents will be waiting for the tourists in railway stations ,airports and bus stands. Since only we two are there , we decided to take a rent scooter for three days. There itself we paid money and started to ‘Little Italy Resort ‘ in scooter. My husbad had already booked the room. 

On the way we saw many churches and buildings. You can see Portugese influence in goan culture. Buildings of Goa distinctingly reflects the Portugese style of architecture. Portugal people are known for their happy go lucky nature, love for drinks, late night parties and gala dinner. Goans follow this life style and they celeberate each day and each moment. The goan climate and environment makes us follow that too. The philosophy of “Eat , Drink & Be happy “ truely describes Goans.

Little Italy resort is an Italian resort and we got a warm welcome there. We had a light breakfast. We were planning to sleep for sometime. The strong sweet smell of kaju feni filled in our room and it was so tempting.  But after having breakfast we couldn’t just sit in room. After all its Goa , how can we sleep in our room. We got freshed and went to Calangute beach. All our tiredness juz flew away and we were totally into “Goa”. We were roaming from beach to beach in scooter and I have to say it was the best part. Had mouth watering prawns biriyani n Italian pasta for lunch  . Bought some dress from the beach shops and came back to room by 3pm. Again evening went for water sports, enjoyed each ride & I drank a lot of salt water tooJ First time in my life I went for paragliding. I felt like a bird in the air that time. It was an amazing expeience. I saw the most beautiful sunset that day.

 

 That day night we had an awesome barbeque dinner in Baga beach. You know in Goa parties long til midnight. Candle light dinner in beach…It was so romantic:) I felt @ night sea had a different face, slow tides and couldn’t take my eyes off..it was a magical view.

The next two days we enjoyed Goan special sea foods & shopping our favourite items. Anjuna beach was best for photoshoots and many foreigners were taking pictures. Me and my husband , we two are photo freaks & I don’t know how many photos we took that day.  At night everywhere music and dance and I have to say Goan youth are very vibrant. Goans are very helpful and friendly and holiday spirit reflects in their attitude , nothing seems to dampen their spirit. We didn’t want to leave that place.
