On Living abroad and a part of me always craving for the homeland

I have been thinking of doing this post much earlier than this but somehow never got around to it. Anyhow, What do you think of life away from home? I think a million things.

Ghee Podi Idli 

Every two weeks(almost) I try to make the Idli/Dosa batter with the help of my darling boy. Yes, he loves watching the grinder run and is ever so ready to press the On/off button.

Exploring the Spice Souk in Dubai!

Our favourite baby books so far!

Because I’m happy….

Here are a few things(not in any particular order) that make me terribly happy about being a mother 1. The sweetness of watching him play with the humble potato 2. The way he smells after a bath 2.
