We visited Seabrook in the third week of February this year ,our first vacation in 18 months since the pandemic. As promised in my post , here is a review of Seabrook from our holiday book. *The town is strictly following the COVID-19 guidelines.* It was the mesmerizing view of the pacific ocean and the endless beach on both sides that first attracted the founders Casey and Laura Roloff .Soon they set off to build one of its kind destination…

Unlike the heavy windy snow we witnessed last year, we were treated to lighter, calmer snowfall this year. Dreamy fluffy…
It all started with this caught-in-an-embarrassing-moment-during-virtual-meetings kind of video that landed in my chat messenger one morning. This one was funny, in this video a man is intently explaining his work when suddenly his partner unaware that the camera is on tries to sneak in a kiss. The man appears to be visibly shocked, firstly to be caught unaware and secondly because everyone on the meeting has now witnessed the little kiss act. He just looks at her in disbelief…
Who doesn’t love tacos? I love love tacos and my current favorite is the Tacos Camarones . I could go on and on about tacos but I am here to talk about the book so we will save Tacos for some other time. Dragons Love Tacos is a hilarious ,delicious read aloud picture book for children between the ages of 3-5. It would make a fun read aloud book for early elementary kids too. This book was published in 2012….

V is already 19 months old and I am still ,sweating it out to get back into shape!! Every time I get on to that weighing scale, hoping against hope for a miracle,I silently offer a prayer !! If ignoring my plea’s wasn’t enough,it goes on to mock me as well “You weigh 300gms more than you did last evening!! Good luck lady!!!” Stupid weighing scale, Damn You!!

I have so many stories and I almost frame a complete para…
Half of the jaanta alighted at Marathali. There are just few men here and there. Each one waiting for their destination. Its a old rickety bus,the engine sound drowning every sound in its vicinity. The conductor is lurking around the front door. She had just made herself comfortable when suddenly a figure clad in yellowish salwaar kameez seats herself next to Anusha. Its a tiny seat, sharing one meant that they were tight on space. She doesn’t complain, its a bus one can sit…

You’ll wish for the fear goes away. You stop believing in you, you are scared ,every move you make you check twice, every thought that crosses your mind,…
