  • Lunch for my husband and me-- I ordered one kilo of carrots instead of half and that's how the idea for this meal came about. 🌿Foxtail Millet with celery, herbs and garlic 🌿Rosemary Balsamic Roasted Carrots 🌿Hung Yogurt with seeds, honey and paprika all topped with pine nuts #stcooks Swipe to see close up of the yogurt. . Would you like me to share more such everyday meals that I cook with whatever's available? I'd love to share the recipes but need a nap right now as I woke up crazy early this morning. And I need to him the gym post nap. Don't forget to tune in to my LIVE on the business of blogging with @naina today at 7.30pm.
  • Happy Independence Day🇮🇳 . This stunningly beautiful bouquet was put together by the gardeners who work in our community, using flowers that grow in our gardens. I've seen some beautiful bouquets in my life but none as pretty as this one! The colours, the arrangement, it makes me so so happy! Tell me it made you happy too😍
  • The thing about draping a saree, putting on a bindi, and flowers in your hair (I did that yesterday), it makes a mundane Tuesday feel like a special day. Not to mention the compliments that come your way from neighbours and friends just for taking that little bit of extra effort :) . Come August and we are well into the second half of the year, with every month bringing in festivals. It's Independence Day, Varalakshmi Vratham, Onam and Eid this month and my community has already activated its frenzy mode -- my throat is a bit hoarse from practising Independence Day songs :) . I also have another big announcement for which I'll have to wait for two weeks to tell you! EXCITED 🤩🤩🤩🤐
  • Best way to beat Sunday evening blues is to spend time in the company of my plant-children. Bangalore’s perfect weather, the light refreshing drizzle, the happy sight of flowers and greens, birds making the final flight of the day to reach their nests- it fills my heart with peace and joy 😊 #thepursuitofhappiness
  • Gujarati breakfast today of Khata Dhokla (from a ready mix), khandvi and green chutney-- I'm not a big fan of Khandvi but the husband loves it. We'd love to get it from the small farsan stores in Ville Parle when we used to live there :) 🍅follow @saffrontrail
  • And the second lot has started blooming this morning - Brahmakamalam/ Epiphyllum oxypetalum . Every stage of this process from a pink bud to the slightly opening bud to the stunning white bloom, almost like an aerial lotus makes you marvel at nature's miracles. .

  • Another quiet Sunday here, just the son and me. My husband @s_cidambi finished his 250 kilometer marathon running in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia yesterday. He is temporarily stranded in Ulaanbaatar as his flight is yet to take off due to a wind storm. You can follow his story / tweets about his run on the same handle on Twitter. . Back to my mundane Sunday morning...I opened up all the blinds and the windows. Moved the furniture around, wiped off the dust, fluffed up the cushions, plonked some greens from the garden into whatever containers I could find, lit up frankincense cones. . Both the room and me feel energised now ✨ . Do you like to move around the furniture in your rooms? I think it’s fun :) #homedecorindia
