you definitely need a daughter

when i look at designs and variety of dress, i feel u need a daughter to dress up. so,here a sample. it has two thread at back. and one loop at top of the dress. so, every time i make my daughter wear it, i need to think of different styles to tie it. :)

Avalaki upittu

Reading RS blog reminds me of my Bangalore days.

I am missing avalaki upittu (poha). I was lucky to work in an office which was in heart of the city. It was surrounded by good eatery places. I became a food freak after going there. It used to be like ,breakfast at juice junction, lunch at nandhini , evening snacks at chocolate house or natural ice-cream parlor and dinner at casapicola or garuda mall food court.

Weekday:

What a wonderful life I had. Get up at 8.30 in the morning. Reach office before 9.30 as I had to punch in. it’s not the I get up late, it’s all because of the climate and bathroom timings in the PG( paying guest house). I used to hate the food at PG. so; I always ate outside and still managed without putting on weight. All most all weekdays I spent in office and reading books in evening. Yes, I found a library nearby, paid some 1000rs as advance caution deposit and never collected back as I never returned the last book, which I have not read till now. J. Yes, it’s great me, who can do such things also. Night time I was forced to see few tv serials . Oh my god, I don’t remember those names of serials now.

At times, we take time and go for shopping during lunch hours during some sale. We are smart, we do take our boss with us, so we don’t get scolding’s if we are late.

Friday:

Weekends were fun. I used to go for movies. Weekend starts by Friday evening itself. We check out all theaters and movies. Friday used to be movie nights. I come home late and get scolding. If we don’t get movie tickets, we end up eating in pizza hut or KFC in brigade road. Its not that we go for watching movies, its just that we can be without eating those lovely pop corn.

Saturday:

Saturday would be window shopping in Garuda mall. Garuda mall is a nice place where you can check out on brands. Shopper stop, soch, west side and fab india were my favorite places. I almost bought kurta each month for at least a year in fab India. I was a freak then. Actually if allowed I would buy now also. Once I had to pay for my window shopping. My super enthusiastic friend Ms .B went on seeing saree’s at soch. She made the fellow show almost all the saree ’s in shelf. He didn’t allow us without buying them. And I was forced to buy one. Here is the saree. That was I first time I spent so much on a saree. I spent a four digit amount for stitching the blouse.

In between I joined art class. I attended few classes and bunked them as I didn’t have company.

Sunday:

it’s a bindas carefree day. I used to get up really late. Then take leisure bath. At times we call the beautician to house. Then, half a day goes in waiting for my turn for waxing or haircut. Later in the evening we( pg mates) go to big bazaar to find out what’s new in market , eat or drink the samples of the new product like maggie pasta or horlicks new flavor there.

I really enjoyed my pre-wedding days. That I too I was in a happening city. Office treat, team lunch ,Shopping, attending exhibitions or expo’s , museums, parks and what not. In fact we also had girls night outs.

Wait for another post on girls night out.. J

note: i forgot to write about capsicum bajji at gandhi bazzar and pani puri at commercial street.

ohi akum burrrrrr

yup these are the sounds used by my daughter to threaten her toys.. she even started hitting them. may be she will break them next month.

Monochrome:

Did u people ever notice most of the advertisements have monochrome in them. If the product has blue colour, then the artist also wears blue dress in blue background. I don’t understand who introduced this concept. But I know that it is done intentionally. I had a chance to meet Mr. Prahlad Kakkar. he said that for Rin adv they went in search of saree with same blue border and bindi of same colour.

So here are few advt.

Here, the yellow shade of vatika is used for dress clour for model

I hate when this happens.

Now a days, bunty doesn’t sleep in the night. I thought things have changed from last month. But again we are back awake all night. She doesn’t cry. She shouts a lot. I need to be next to her talking all the time to avoid neighbors from waking.

People who visit us, keep asking when I am going back?. Arey, when I or my parents are not bothered of me staying here, what is their problem. They are also bothered about my leave and my promotion, when my boss is ready to give me extra leave of 3 months.

My close friends are gifting my daughter different, stylish dresses. But it doesn’t fit my daughter. What to do with them??

I think of lots of topic to write on blog, but there is no time. If at all I am free, my sister occupies the system or I don’t have mood to write.

When I cook something for first time, that a small quantity, the dish comes out really nice. When I try to repeat it, when my husband is at home, it always flops.

Whenever I decide to buy gold bangle for my daughter, the price hikes a lot. So, I return back without buying. Buy the time it reduces, I would have spent all money.

interesting na..

i found this graph really interesting.. what do you think?? is it true??
