Sub N Way

Yesterday Rayyan was reading the letters on the subway drink that he got home. Just for him to know, I asked him "Do you know what a sandwich at Subway is called?" He said no. I told him its called a 'Sub' and he immediately asked with the drink jar in his hand " And this is the 'Way'?...

Completion letters are here!

Finally we received our course completion letter and transcripts this weekend. We were eagerly waiting for them to arrive as we can now proceed to apply for our TR visa.

Baby Shower Basket

I made a baby shower basket of baby essentials for the soon-to-be parents Anusha and Vishwesh. It looked soo sweet and cute!

It was fun decorating and arranging all the colorful baby products in the tiny basket and moreover made us feel so very nice that a new member is going to join the league soon!

As we dont know if its a boy or a girl, I decided to go for a white color theme. I hope the expecting parents like this small gift from both of us!

Time flies!

We went to university to complete some visa formalities when the feeling that we no more are a part of this educational institute gripped us! Time has flown away soo quickly.

I still distinctly remember the excitment that all we friends had, to step back into the shoes of a student. The first sight of the university building, countless pictures clicked at different venues in the campus, first experience of an orientation week, funfilled sports,activities and so on.

Everything suddenly felt something of the past!

Magnolia Little Gem

Magnolia Little Gem is a nice compact tree with dense foliage. It has beautiful glossy dark green leaves and big white saucer shaped flowers which are soo attractive and big in size that they capture every persons attention who passes by it.

There are a couple of them planted in our street and indeed they are a treat to the eyes in the summers!

Breezy Day

Today strong winds lashed Melbourne with a speed of 56km/hr. Trees were swaying left-right and pedestrians felt they would surely be flying haywire in no time! Window panes were shattering and the gushing wind seeked our attention at all times during the day.

I was with Rayyan and he curiously asked me "Where do the winds come from?" I told him they come from the ocean. He then corrected me by saying "Ocean?...No No No.. They come from the space when the moon does FOOOO......!" 

Hats off to ABC 4 Kids!!

Stuffed Okra

I tried making stuffed bhindi/okra in the traditional maharashtrian style last weekend. As stuffing each of the tiny okras is a bit time consuming, this veggie is occassionally prepared for everyday meals. The veggie possess a distant flavor once the stuffing becomes crispy and is rosted evenly. The best part was when the stuffing that is made out from peanuts with a blend of tastemakers releases a flavorful aroma when its about to be done!
