Feeling Blue

In Melbourne, when the weather transitions into the next season (from autumn to winter or the other way) there comes a week when the body feels highly fidgety without any symptoms of illness! The temperature flatuates rapidly during the day and makes you feel feeble. These kind of sudden climatic changed are vague and difficult to overcome as the mind responds in the normal manner but is not backed up with the usual physical support! This week we are suffering a lot from this change and its making us feel uneasy and gloomy. 

We try not to pay heed to this restlessness but it still grips us! I hope this ends soon and we settle down into the cold weather.

Selection Matters!

Sometime back last September, Praveen had to reason out a question at Reject Shop as to why he feels like going home everyday (basically what's very close/important to his life?.. something in that context...). So he submitted our wedding pic which indirectly showcased that family was important to him. 

Yesterday at office, Praveen had a quick meeting with his IT manager (an Indian guy) who had been to the same store where Praveen worked part-time previously. The manager and his wife saw our photo put up in the store. His wife loved my blue sari soo much that she started the typical lady talk of shopping and selecting! The manager also asked Praveen from where we got that and told that it was really very nice!

He came home and narrated the whole incidence to me and I felt just one thing "Selection Matters"!

Feeling Satvic!!

The cold and rainy weather urged me to cook Patanjali atta noodles!

When I unsealed the pack, somehow the name 'Patanjali' and 'noodles' dint go together! Maybe because Patanjali products are always associated with good health!

It was just yesterday that one of my sisters posted that FB should add:

"Feeling satvic while eating Patanjali atta noodles". 

Soo apt and well said!

Birthday Gals

28th March is a day full of birthday wishes! Coincidently my mom and sister-in-law share their birthdays today! Soo its more of a celebratory mood that we experience even though we are not directly a part of it! We spent almost our entire noon today being on phone and wishing the ladies. Luckily as it was a holiday today on the eve of Easter monday our calls continued even longer!

Soniya shared few pics of my mom's in-house birthday bash which made us feel nice to see everyone back home!

Good Deed!

It was since long in our mind to make a feasible donation to the society in some form which would be useful to our people. We were specific that whatever we chose to donate should reach to people (mainly students) who are new to the place and need social help. In sync to this, we decided to donate 5kg bag of wheat flour at a temple near our house which serves free dinner on Thursday's and Sunday's. Students, bachelor's and many others have a satisfying and nourishing meal at this Sai Baba temple. We felt this would be the best donation suiting and fulfilling our wish!

The pandit took the flour bag, touched it to the god's feet and then gave us a nice garland as a token of reception by the temple authorities. After reaching home, I placed it near the Ganapati idol in our house and it looks custom made for the idol!

Our hearts are full by performing this small good deed that we yearned for since we moved from the 'student phase' to the 'bit-settled phase' and it gives us great pleasure in having completed it successfully!

Easter Saturday

We had our quarterly car servicing scheduled for today and we decided to club it up with exploring the Eastland mall where it was being serviced. As it was a chilly morning, we felt like having a hot cup of coffee at Jamaica Blue.

I loved the latte art that they served! The design was soo pretty that I felt like looking at it and not disturbing the delicate creamy pattern!

Till midday we wandered all around trying different clothing outlets then picked up our car around 3.30pm and drove back home.

We both felt drained off as we reached. Out of curiosity I checked the Iphone Health app which justified our tiredness!

Relaxed

With lots of household work and cooking to be done yesterday, today morning demanded me for being relaxed and to enjoy a hot cup of tea!
