Boring to heights.
While the actors in the movie were trying to find Fanny, i was finding a reason to continue watching


Dawaat-e-Ishq - Movie Review

Delightful romantic comedy.

A beautiful ensemble of actors,music,plot,narration,comedy. Not only entertainment, Movie sends a wonderful social message regarding dowry and related LAW.

Haan, hai qubool ye humne maana
Hai qubool ye humne maana
Daawat-e-ishq hai
Jee huzoor hamein manzoor,
Ye Daawat-e-ishq hai
Jee huzoor hamein manzoor,
Ye Daawat-e-ishq hai

Daawat well served !

This one is going into my “WATCH AGAIN” list.

Ganesh Chathurti 2014

This year, most of the festivals have been a hush hush affair with last minute invites, shopping & preparations.Ganesh Chathurti is of no exception to this. Just a day before the festival, started working on this arrangement in the evening,took nearly an 1 hour to get this done. 

Used news papers,cardboard,quilling strips and sparkling lace to create this setup.
Was quite happy with the outcome :) ! 




Here's how it looked,


No lights , no celebrations for me.. so set them up too ..


2.5 hrs in the kitchen,ended up cooking 11 types of festive delicacies as prasad for the pooja.. 


They one i enjoyed cooking the most were "MODAK's". Cooking these for the very first time. Jayanti athe gave me the recipe and explained how it has to be cooked. Must say , they were an instant hit.



After 3 days of Ganesh ji's stay at our home,it was time to bid farewell to him hoping he would return next year. Completed Visaarjan in the evening.
