I had Ashwina’s tea party today. It was a big hit. A huge hit. I had 11 girls and 5 moms. I invited one of Avasha’s friends so that she couldnt feel left out.
The menu was tuna sandwiches, a really dealish strawberry cream-cheese-cool whip-marshmallow fluff dip, with pineapples,kiwis and grapes. The punch was a big [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day
The Valentine aisle in the Dollar store was EMPTY. In fact they had Easter stuff out already. I wandered over to the wedding aisle and saw these cute white boxes. 12 in a pack and for a dollar,thought not cheap but would work. Ashwina found the foam stickers and we were set. $28 later, I [...]
Where to Begin?
Whose smart idea was it to move NYE weekend and 2 days before school opened? Wait it was MINE… I have no one to blame but me. Its been exhausting. the lugging of the boxes up and down, the cleaning of the old apartment. The unpacking of trash bagsboxes. Then the rush to make sure [...]

The one that makes you realize how worthless you are to your loved ones. The one that shocks you into silence and you have no words to calm [...]
Diwali 09
Diwali to NK means mithai and fireworks. Diwali to me means my mom’s murruku, kueh tart, getting ang pao from relatives. Buying new clothes, mum will sew new curtains, new cushion covers. Day of diwali, we wear our new suits and wait for our friends to come. My mum will cook chole bhature and samosas [...]
