Been a long time and I thought I should share one of the most important moments in my life with you all..
This is the Taali Kettu at Guruvayoor Sri Krishna Temple.
Thank you one and all for your wishes... I am sorry I am not able to reply to comments or visit your blogs, but I should be back by mid jan.

Ahhh... gifts!
Now, here comes the wedding and the wedding gifts! I have seen at all my cousin's weddings,where you get infinite items of no use, or if there are some items which you shall find some use for, then how many of the same item can you find uses for! So that leaves you with nothing to do but stack them all up safely into the loft and ensure that you remember to give it as gifts to well deserving people.
Now if I were to ask for some gifts, I think I would do a wonderful deal with it! In fact I thought of a wedding registry too, but the concept is so alien to India that I would just be wasting my time and with the end result being gifts stacked into said loft. In the search for so many things, I made a list of things which I wanted though alas, they shall not be featuring in any gift registry but shall just be my list to set up my home!
A glass center table
and if you ask why glass and why not wood, I think my living room has loads of brown colour for it already to want anymore!
Dining Table
I love square dining tables, and I think they look very cool. No one is too far across the table and each person also has their own space to have a meal comfortably.
Bed - I thought alot whether you really need a King size bed! Wouldn't a queen do too? But one thing I do like is a headboard, and bedside tables, to make sure I can read whenever I want, propping a pillow up and turning the bedside lamp on.
I feel this bed design makes it so much more easier to put the book aside and snuggle into bed too! And, its also got storage space! All in one!
Home theatre system
A Television could not wait, so we got that, and many times contemplated to get the home theatre system too but then, I guess it is never a good idea to rush into things.That non rushing attitude has dragged on till now, and here we are with as the best in the budget offer!
We are big fans of sandwiches and we love to have a quick meal when we head back from a game of badminton, rather than have a full fledged meal. ( This is also beacuse I am lazy to cook, and sandwiches are
filling, healthy and easy to make).
I saw this lovely Morphy Richards sandwich maker. What more... they say they are the perfect gifts for your loved ones!
And now, since we are at Morphy Ricahards, I think I would love the Icon Essential Mixer Grinder too. And while we are at it, I think an Oven (OTG 18) would also be a good idea, but would I really do anything with it, maybe I can just wait and see. One can always console oneself with the idea, 'If I had it, I would have ....'
So now, lets exit the kitchen. I have been looking to get a wonderful bookshelf,some thing which I would just fall in love with on seeing. Neither have I seen something in real life like that, nor have I bought any bookshelf as yet. My quest continues, and here are some which I would positively love!
And here are some swell magazine racks, I expecially liked the magazine baskets which are featured towards the end of the post.
And it would be certainly lovely to get a home delivery surprise of this, this and this.
And while we are at it... and if you are going to be Oh so generous... I shall be shameless and ask for this too! ;)
There are also the lamps, rugs and vases which have been on my wishlist for long, and I guess a La -Z- boy would also be very much welcome into our humble household!

26/11
Its been a year since Mumbai was under seige, and the citizens of this city rose up to fight and face danger bravely. We have not solved the mystery as to what happened at many points, and what went wrong to result in the bloodshed of 26/11.
Many might be responsible, far beyond those whose involvement have been brought to light. There are many to be held responsible for initiating and fuelling this terror attack, but not many of them have been brought under the noose of law.
As we as a nation stand by Mumbaikars, we should be proud of the future Mumbai beholds. It has not fallen,as we have seen in the past year, but only risen and shall continue to rise in the coming years.
This is what Forbes says about Mumbai as the World Capital of the Future.

Akuri !!
Yesterday I read the Akuri recipe and saw mouth watering pictures on Hitchy's blog, so I knew I had to make some for Sunday brunch! And, thats exactly what I did. It came out yummy and I had it with a plain paratha!
And, since no photo post is complete for me without Whisky... here she comes!
