A big thank you to all of you for your kind and encouraging words about our chai room. All those facebook likes really made me very happy. Continuing the same spirit, let’s take a sneak peek into the next room – our living room. Today I will show you only one wall because I have a great news to share and I can’t wait to let you in on it. So come on in… The lamp in the left side was plain when we got it.

Cherish

January 21st, 2013Varada2 Comments

This post is long overdue. Itâ€™s a confession of sorts. I have this weird (OCDâ€™ic?) urge to always do something â€“ if there arenâ€™t 3-4 projects running side by side for me to chase, I donâ€™t really feel good.

November 15th, 2011Varada4 Comments

I know I’ve been silent for quite some time now. Last couple weeks I’ve been down with Typhoid. Fever, medicines, tiredness. All were a part of my days. But all that is over now. I am feeling better. No fever for last few days. Now all that I want to do is take things a little easy for some time and eat good home-made food so my body can reclaim what is lost. It also means I want to reach out to you again. One of things I missed most for last couple weeks was my blog. My virtual world. …

Warning: This post is a Varada-rambling-randomly one. So if you would rather do something better, please carry on… {May be a healthy dose of Paulo Coelho’s Alchemist will help you understand some of my sentiments here…} Lately I’ve been talking {read questioning, requesting, and you know, generally pestering..} a lot to my Kanhaji. As always he has been surprising me with this responses and also with the sources of his responses. Okay, so I think I am growing up to be a professional worrier (if there’s even such a thing).
