Weekend Recreation

We set out early morning yesterday to buy groceries (as we get really fresh veggies as compared to noon) and then went to the Eastland shopping centre. Praveen was longing to purchase the 'Beats' headphones and finally managed to get one as per his choice yesterday. 

The mall where we went had recently been functional and left us with a variety of good stores to shop in. Needless to say, we roamed and roamed until we were all exhausted! On our way back we decided to take away our favorite Nandos peri-peri chips and subway sandwich for lunch and have it at a lake side park. 

It was a much needed refreshment and a fun day getting to spend some quality time together.

Grand Sale

Friday was a grand sale of all home essentials at Praveen's office. Samples of all products were put up on sale for staff to buy at a very minimal price. The best part was that you grab anything and it wont cost you more than $2!

Taking advantage of this Praveen bought a basket full of stuff.

It was an absolute fun for him to have a in-office shopping experience and for me to see each of the items he bought!

Living it up!

A clothing treat for Praveen! We purchased these casual wear from Gazman (the shop whose collection we adore!). Their clothing has attractive colour  combination, great finish and fits really well. 

Praveen was dazzled by their look and comfort and ended up buying two at one go! 

Mosquito Bites

Since past few days we have been feeling mosquitoes buzzing over our heads at midnight. But being in deep sleep we had been ignoring it. Yesterday night this ignorance costed me a lot when I got two puffy bites on my hand.

Today morning I checked the windows when I found out that one of the window nets in the living room had slightly dislocated creating space for these creatures to enter. We never realised when the winds had moved the net out of its position as the blinds always cover the windows. 

Its been fixed now and I hope they dont annoy me with their buzz and bites tonight!

New Look

I got a haircut done yesterday and my head feels lighter and nicer!

A slight change of style also feels good to see myself. Afterall change is a must!

Puffed-up

Today morning I was startled to see this happen!

I prepared dosa batter yesterday evening and left it to ferment overnight. Early morning today, it was overflowing from the vessel. This was one of the much awaited thing that I was looking forward to achieve in Melbourne!

I still vividly recall those visits to the settled families here who specifically told me that never try to make dosa batter and curd at home because it doesn't ferment. I did follow their advice in the initial days, but later gave it a try when the weather was favourable. Its never worked out so well but we could enjoy a healthy homemade meal. 

I am glad I could prepare the batter as expected which ticks one more item in my 'Budding Cook' list!

Missing Pune

Somedays I really miss being in my native city when I see on zomato.com that there are more than 5K restaurants which serve and specialise in a wide variety of cuisines. 

I never remember places being classified into soo many types when I was in Pune. But lately there has been a tremendous rise in the eateries offering their customers varieties to taste! The photos put up on their site look soo tempting and irresistibly yummy (my mom pacifies me by saying they only look attractive but dont taste soo good!) 

Maybe I thought why not start shortlisiting the places which I want to visit during our next trip! Haha, thats called 'Being very well prepared'!
