Thanks for playing a lovely meme.
Thank you Prema for tagging me!! MEME.. made me think and was easier than I thought to answer them!!Enjoyed it!! :)
ReplyDeleteBig hug from me to you and your kid! As long as you shower the kids double-triple times than yells,they will be quite alright!!They are lucky to have Indian parents with Indian values..:D
You are welcome Praj, and looking forward to see your's! It is fun!!:) Makes you think!!

Thanks Meena and Chandrika for reading my MeMe!!I enjoyed writing about me!Never did that before :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Priya!
Well! Mine is not a arranged marriage although we both are lingayats or Shaivas.Married at 22yrs and my "new relatives" thought a "educated" bride is not good for traditional family , gave me LOT of trouble for the first 18 mts. I almost gave up hope.We had to run out of India to escape!! :D
But past has taught me a lot about how NOT to be rude to people, to respect individuality, to be positive bcos there is a light at the end of every dark tunnel! So I am glad that period is over and am in a good place now!! :)
Hi Asha,
ReplyDeleteNice pictures, you look cute. I enjoyed reading your meme.
Hi Asha,
ReplyDeleteI had a look at ur pictures.... U look cute.. Ur living room looks great.
Sure there is a light at the end of every dark tunnel and Iam glad u found it.
hi Asha,thanks for visiting my site.I love the cozy place you are sitting on.Just feel like curling up with a cuppa coffee and a nice book.Enanthira???????
ReplyDeleteHey Asha,
ReplyDeleteIt's always wonderful to get a peek into the lives of fellow bloggers - especially so for you foodies, since we're better acquainted with the chef's culinary preparations than the chefs themselves.
Sorry to hear about the dark 18 months in your life, am glad you escaped with humor intact!
Nee
Thanks Madhu! My thoughts just poured out!
ReplyDeleteThanks again Prema for tagging me,I never would have done that on my own !! :)
Sonpari welcome! That's exactly what I do and sometimes take a nap too!! I would like more plump pillows on it but Arvind says not enough space to sit!!
ReplyDeleteBanni namma manege, book , coffee , food ella koduttene!! :D
Hi Nee sweetheart! that's why I posted my photos to put a face to 'Asha' and know more of me than just my recipes!! :)
Thank GOD for MEME!!Strangely,I became weirdly positive while my peers with problems in India became depressed!!
Sometimes I say "God, I have really bad headache, HA HA HA!!" & my kids look at me puzzled and say "Mom! what's wrong with you? you are laughing bcos you are in pain??!!" :D
Take care Nee, let nobody bring you down, no matter what!!Got it?
Hey Asha,
ReplyDeleteNice Meme. Thanks for tagging me. Its really nice to look at you and now I can imagine the face behind the recipe. :)
I am glad that "those" days are gone!
Gotta try raagi muddhe. I donno why, but I am scared to do it. Now with your detailed recipe, I will defly try.
Hi Roopa, thanks for playing along MEME! It was loads of fun!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad I got to share a little part of my life with all you sweet ladies!!
Asha
ReplyDeleteGot to know you really !!! You look great nice to tie a face to a name and blog !!!
Asha
ReplyDeleteGot to know you really !!! You look great nice to tie a face to a name and blog !!!
Asha,
ReplyDeleteI thought you were talking about two pregnancies, hence 18 months. Honestly. :)
Great to see your pictures. Btw, you have 'photographed' the first photgraph so well, that it takes a second look to know that it's a picture-in-picture. And hey, you are such a smart and confident looking woman!!
One more thing: Do you really use those words in front of your children? For example, the one rhyming with 'masses'? Bad...very bad!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes Ma'am, I got it! :-)

ReplyDeleteThanks Revathi, wish evevrybody would put up their photos for a short time , so we can see who we are talking to! That would be wonderful!! :)
Vaishali, you are smart enough to find out pic-in-pic :D I didn't have any photo in Picasa so I took from album, clicked those, that's why the hazy pictures.My babies came very easy, Trisha 15 & Tushar 11.Still easy,honor students and honest kids.Play video games too much. Grrr..
ReplyDeleteOh Vaishali, if you think ****es is bad, you have NO CLUE abt America, girl!!That is like 0.0025% of 100 in scale!!:D

ReplyDeleteHey Asha,
ReplyDeleteI can relate to what you have to say about your thatha and Ajji. I think they are all the same. My thatha always wanted me to wear a Bindi :)) to look more like a Indian Girl :))
This is a new recipe for me. I will try it for sure and let you know.Raagi mudde is my favorite.
