I'm on a bloggie break

Sorry peeps...I wasn't able to inform you lovely people that I was off to India. I actually wanted to do a post before I left London on 6th but then me being such a last-minute person unfortunately had planned to do a million other things and so had to leave the bye-bye post for another day.

I am in India, Kerala to be precise, at the moment and will be here for about 2 months..yeah sigh and ooh and aah all you want but I think 2 months in kerala can really get to me. But the good thing is, my lil brother (yeah the same one who asks me doubts about tomato rice and stews) is getting married to his school sweetheart in Jan and so I'm in the midst of wedding planning and shopping which I'm thoroughly enjoying..and the best part is..wait-for-it..that Ro is in Kottayam being pampered by his mom and not here with me in Trivandrum nagging me (oh and I have his credit card as well).

So anyhoo, my dads computer is so bloody slow and I hate working on it, and Ro has taken the laptop so I'm not sure how much of blogging I can squeeze and how much I can visit your blogs. In case I don't get to pop in and say Hi by this year end, here's wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...way in advance.

Take care and have a blast wherever you guys are.

Muah.

Blowing my own trumpet :)

I spoke too soon about Ro taking over cooking and the house cos i was sick..well he fell sick as well and now we are both under house arrest..Blah! To add to the misery, the weather is so crappy and i haven't gone out in 4 days...that's the longest I've stayed indoors. I'm feeling a whole lot better today, but still lethargic and am just not in the mood for anything, leave alone cooking. My house is in such a mess, desperately need to go grocery shopping and the laundry pile is longingly looking at me. We've been making do with sandwiches, soups, 2-minute noodle kits and pizza for the past few days and to tell you the truth I'm totally enjoying the 'not cooking' bit. I could really get used to it :)

On another note, a recipe of mine got published in the Hindu Metroplus, Trivandrum edition yesterday and i thank a good friend of mine who gave me that opportunity. I had no clue it was out till a few friends started buzzing me on FB saying they saw the article...i had no idea what article they were talking about till i browsed online to find they had put it up. You can read it here (link) if you're interested (the pic is about 1 1/2 yrs old..my hair is not that long any more, and my arms are def not that toned now :O).

Well..so thats the most exciting thing thats happened to me in a while...my claim to fame :)

Last weekend we went out to Greenwich Park and the Cherry Blossoms, among others, were a marvelous sight which im having trouble getting outta my mind. Since i dont have anything else to post, thought I'd post a few pics.

Hope I'd be back on my feet this week...see ya
