Outside
my window: Hi, I have decided that I will be writing
about my week gone by and what I am doing right now on Mondays (if possible...”smiles**”
and today it is possible to do so , and so, here I am)
It’s 10.30 at night and I have just finished up
cleaning up after dinner, a little early compared to the other days as I
normally finish after 11.00.
Off course its dark outside and I am in my son’s
room as he is out for work and my hubby is watching an action movie out in the
living room.
I am
thankful... That my annual eye check up is finally done and that I
have only a slight increase in my reading No.
I am wearing... Blue kurti and my
grey leggings (I am still in the same dress that I wore in the evening for my
eye checkup and then a round in the mall.
I am
wondering... If I will get back to reading my never-ending pile of
books and magazines that have been lying unattended for a very long time .I had
been experiencing discomfort while reading on the computer and my books, and
hence got my eyes checked to find that my reading no has changed and that I
will need new glasses.
I am
reading... For the last couple of days I have been reading sites
which tell me more about India in the 1920’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. I have always
loved to know about old India and how it was living in those times. But I could
not find much on that subject but recently I have found some very good sites
that tell me more about the daily lives of people in olden India.
I am
watching: As I said I have been watching more than reading in the last
few months.
I am
watching some nice serials on TV which are family dramas.
I have
been also watching my favorite you tube channels mostly hauls.
I have
started watching REVENGE SEASON 3 which my son downloaded for me. I love this
serial and only the first two seasons have been telecast in India.
I am
hoping... To start
reading again the way I used to especially, books as there are so many which I have
purchased but not yet read.
Last week: Nothing special, just clearing and cleaning
up after my brother and family left back for the US.
Invited my husband’s doctor friends over for dinner on Saturday night,
had good fun with them.
COOKED: I menu for the day was
Palak Masoor
tonak, French beans vegetable, paneer butter masala,chicken tikka
masala(heritage), roasted corn salad, and vegetable pulao/ Biryani.
With chicken tikka, reshmi kabab, vegetable chilli for starters.
Around the house... There is a lot of cleaning and organizing to be done
as the festival of lights DIWALI is just round the corner.
One of
my favorite things: I loved the cool lassi (sweet yogurt drink) which I had when I
was with my hubby on a hot humid afternoon.
Enjoying
eating apples which are in season right now in India.
A few
plans for this week:
Lots and lots on my to do list.. Priority
being
CLEAN, CLEAN AND CLEAN
Read some old magazines and discard a few.
Today’s menu:
Breakfast: egg fry and toast
Lunch: Tomato dal and papdi vegetable
rice and roti
Dinner: French beans vegetable
Today was one of the simplest menus
that I could ever make.
