The best Combo ever 😇😬

-

 Every-time I walk with my cotton bag on my shoulder and come across Chai Shops, I can't take off my eyes from those big glass jars filled with tindis😍😍


I just think of having such glass jars filled with Chakli,Kodubale, Nippat and all Crunchy stuffs. The very thought makes me feel so excited and I check if there is enough money, get into the shop buy all the things to make them. 🤤

I go home and prepare One Tindi that's Chakli  ,recollecting all the tips that my Subbi Ajji had told long back. Every step bringing the images of the end result - the glass jars filled with so many varieties of tindi/snacks.

By then I feel so tired and in between whatever was prepared batch wise would be filled in my tummy there will be only the tissue papers left to fill the glass jars🤐

Cleaning the place I prepare some Kaapi, resist myself from further munching and put the remaining 5-6 Chaklis that's in my hand in a small dabba so I can enjoy them the next day after coming back home 😌

Chai Stall Style Crunchy aromatic Chaklis spiced up with coriander, red chillies, curry leaves, jeera-The fuming Kadak Chai and annoying your favourite person @sudarshanams - The best Combo ever 😇😬

Sarees and Secrets

On lazy Saturday afternoons, we all would gather in the cozy corner- the master bedroom! Appa would recline on the bed, the ceiling fan whirling gently above, while Amma begin on her customary ritual of exploring the wardrobe's treasures. Each item she unearthed - from vibrant sarees to old, knitted sweaters and half-finished socks - held a story waiting to be told. Among the clutter, we discovered gifts of brass and random jewels, imported soaps (May be expired! 😁) each with its own tale to tell. As we delved into the memories, teasing exchanges with Appa and Amma luring them to share their love story once more. Our fingers would trace the pages of old photo albums, while Amma carefully unfolded her cherished wedding sarees from a well-worn suitcase. Lost in admiration for the vintage designs and faded colors, we lost ourselves in tales of their beautiful yesteryears😍 Then, there it lay - the saree that held a special place in our hearts. The very same saree Appa had lovingly gi

After completion of 9 months, the doctor advised to meet her once in two days. It was supposed to be one such appointment with her. I had made the class adjustment and even planned for lunch with my gals😬😋 There was a change of plan as the pain had triggered. the last 9 answer scripts were pending to be valued. He had valued those, reading the answers, in the hospital. The pain was gradually increasing. We sipped some hot ginger tea and awaited. Around 9 p.m., all my people were around, I walked in the corridor, looking at the light up cafés, coffee bars, roaring vehicles, and lounges talking to the lil 💙    By 10, they all went home. By 10:30 p.m., I started getting the real PAIN!!! It was then I realized its intensity. The nurse kept on monitoring the heartbeat every 1 hour. I kept on chanting Thakurji's name 😇  By 11 p.m., the pain became unbearable. I asked the nurse if she could bring the baby out. Now, she started monitoring the heartbeat every 20 minutes. The sound of th

Emotional Rollercoaster: Riding the Waves of Dysphoria and Euphoria

The moment I was guided to breastfeed my newborn for the first time, I was flooded with emotions. Watching my little one latch on with such determination, as if he'd been practicing, filled me with overwhelming happiness. Yet, amidst the joy, there was a tinge of uncertainty. I longed for some time to recover from the delivery trauma and heal from the pains like any other mom. However, as days passed, I adapted. What truly brought peace was connecting with loved ones, sharing experiences with fellow moms, and indulging in some light-hearted stand-up comedy. Those moments of laughter and camaraderie made the journey a bit more adorable and manageable. Ah, truly, the heartwarming conversations over golden lattes, homemade chaklis, and sweet manni (rice fudge), with my darling moon-faced little one, were like rays of sunshine (Sonshine?!) on a cloudy day, filling me with the strength to rise above any feelings of blue! Challenges:  • Almost drifting into sleep, but the newborn decides
