"Honey, they say ( weather forecast) it is going to rain today, I shall go by car" is the first thing I hear on a Saturday morning. That is when I realized that this Saturday is a working day for my husband. Then I dragged myself from the bed and reached balcony to wave bye to him. Later I went to freshen up, splashed cold water on my face which completely brought me back in to this world. After shower when I reached kitchen that is where the biggest challenge of the day begins 'Breakfast'... the thing is we prefer not just a breakfast but a 'Healthy breakfast'. I usually cook Dosa, Idly and upma in the mornings for breakfast, which are only served to my husband.  I consume very less oil while cooking them, but I prefer eating fruits over them. Mostly my breakfast includes fruits, Tropicana juice and small portion of dry fruits. Dry fruits : Helps reducing weight, as these are the foods associated with lower Body mass index (BMI). The...

In India route clearance should be done only for the President and the Prime Minister. Whereas for the Chief Ministers the red light should be turned green that is all no other concession is to be provided according to Indian government. But y esterday when we were returning to home from office we've seen a situation where an ambulance with patient is blocked in traffic for CM convoy. This is ridiculous, is CM's convoy more important than the patient in critical state with immediate need of assistance. I wouldn't expect to halt convoy and let ambulance move, but at least ambulance should be allowed to pass by immediately rather stopping it for 5 to 10 mins.  Sometimes even a delay by minute can cause death. By the way these VIPs are also public people, they are public servants in fact.  The problem is not only with VIP convoy, it is with the huge traffic jams, the emergency services provided by our nation and the attitude of public.  There are few people who try to ov...

Hello Frenzzz.... I've been thinking to write a post on my adda since long, but was busy shuffling between home and office. Today I write  to share my happiness over the defeat of CSK in IPL. Yess I'm not happy because KKR won the match as I'm supporter of MI, but yes jubilant over the defeat of CSK!!! I somehow was not glad about CSK making to the play offs and this feeling got even stronger when CSK defeated MI in the qualifiers. I felt Dhoni was just lucky to win all the games or the opposite teams were unlucky as they lost the matches even after performing very well. Let it be DD or MI they were performing consistently very good through out the series. These two teams loosing in qualifiers was very  disappointing  for me.  I always wonder why Dhoni gets the whole credit irrespective the game is played by 11 players.   As  Dhoni who comes in the last few overs of the innings takes away the whole credit of winning the match just by hitting ...

Wish you all a very Happy New Year!!!!! Hope this year brings lotsss and lotss of joy and happiness in your lives. - Vrinda.
