A trip back home and return to blogging !!

India Gate

Sight & the smell of  my Home land .. Loved everything about it .. From day one we landed at Delhi with utmost excitement until the day we returned  with pleasant memories of my trip , I cherish every moment....

 

The paperwala

The Mango vendor ( who happily possed looking at my DSLR)

 

the painters

they are all related to us in our lives and bring back memories….

Whilst I still unpack , fond memories of the trip and every little bit associated with it come fresh onto my mind... Be a a little steel laddle or a kadai or a new pair of salwar kameez or anything...... A smile strikes my face with all the wonderful moments spent at home with parents and inlaws... A festival makes it a bonus celebration. Divinity & the rituals around…

Maavaluku

Catching up with almost everyone in my friends & relatives list... Eating anything and everything I CUD... 

My picture tour of the powerhouse city of India and to Jaipur were the 2 highlights of my India trip. For the  first time ever , rather than posing , I went on to be a real photographer…

This picture is around the Rastrapathi Bhavan

Loved Night photography… Put in all my learnings from blogging to this….

Hawa Mahal – Jaipur

Aaah.. not to forget , the n number of Golgappa's I have gobbled every time I have stepped outside the house... And the thali  at Rajdhani – largest meal ever… for quite a nominal price…!!!  We got a chance to make it as a family on my birthday !!

 

My lil V , very coy , English , organised  started learning the Indian ways... Prankishness from his uncles , From an english lad to a tamil speaking boy at home - Kudos to his grandma , Extra devotion from his grand parents , Eating icecream after every meal  - from his grandpa , Naughtiness from the kids in the neighbourhood .. something he has never seen until we had our India trip... Kids just barging in each others house... playing , screaming ,bullying & many more...  Apart from all this , he learnt to be a bit more independent . Went on to explore every opportunity he got.. Be it climbing a terrace at my granny’s place or messing his clothes with mud around…  Best of the trip is that Ved relates himself with everyone .. associates every learning , every present with people way back home !!!!

 

Every Trip home makes you nostalgic with the mere thought of it... I have slowly started making a list of things I want to do for next year... and I keep adding on to it ...... This trip turned out much more exciting and eventful than we had planned... 

Learnt  quite a lot of lovely authentic delicacies.. .. and you are sure to see them coming up over a period of time..

Its hardly a few days I returned , am still buzy getting things to settle .. Making this house into a home again ... :)  While stocking up my fridge , little did  I realise a whole bottle of milk is to expire day after...

Cant let it go off the drain ..... What shall I do ?? After heavy brainstorming , boiled down to this lovely pudding - Firni .  My first hand effort at it and I totally deserve a pat on my back for this successful attempt :)

Recipe coming up in my next post !!!!!
