Wrapping up 2011!

It feels like I just posted about the beginning of 2011, can't believe it's almost gone!
Oh well, life's been extremely busy. First of all, the Margazhi season is here which means Chennai has good weather, lovely music and dance concerts, holiday season etc etc
Thankfully for me, K likes to go to concerts, we went to a few and enjoyed ourselves! We had the pleasure of listening to Kadri Gopalnath last evening and boy we came out totally relaxed! He is terrific. And K managed to get an autograph from him as well!! He is a big fan and for his luck it all worked out(he drew him a saxaphone!!).. Cute! :-)
We also celebrated "Karthikai Deepam" -- my hubby lit a lot of lamps and our house looked beautiful!
It gets even better with Christmas around the corner. I baked a chocolate cake for Christmas and it was quite YUM! :) I realize that having a hubby like K works in a lot of ways.. he pushes me to go that extra mile and experiment new things in my kitchen. I hate to say this but I am having good fun!! I never thought I would!
Speaking of Xmas, well well well, we have our own little Christmas tree set up at home.. complete with LED lights and all! It is super cute.. and I love it!
Oh I never posted about Delhi. Well, Delhi was great fun! We ate street food, we had yummy pani puris, aloo tikkis and loads of shopping! Met K's Paati, who really is a sweetheart! Delhi weather was good, we did lots of sight seeing like typical tourists.. Humayun's Tomb, India Gate, the Qutub and what not.. it was all good fun!
Dinners -- We went to quite a few snazzy dinners this month.. Fusion 9 was good.. great ambience, drinks, good food.... highly recommend! We also tried out Above Sea Level which is different.. its an open terrace.. again good food, nice place to chill out especially during this weather!
Movies -- well well, I watched Twilight with Shru from work(was brilliant!!), I watched Tintin(good one again!), Puss in Boots(Antonio Banderas' voice.. 'nuff said!).. all good movies. Didn't watch Ra One.. Planning to watch The Dirty Picture, Mayakkam Enna.. both have good reviews.. I'm of course one of those who is addicted to Kolaveri much to K's annoyance.. but I think its a plain, simple song... it's caught on to me!
Well, in all I must say it has been a very memorable year for me.. You don't get married that often do ya? ;)
Looking forward to an even better 2012... Wishing all you guys a very Merry Christmas and a lovely New Year 2012! Have fun my friends.. Party hard! <3 

Blogging on a lazy, rainy Sunday afternoon!

I hope you lovely people had a wonderful Diwali - My thala Diwali was indeed truly memorable. Family, food, crackers, sweets, new clothes, dressing up and being the centre of attention... Sigh. It's no wonder Diwali is my favoritest festival!
I'm quite grumpy. Festival season is ending, holidays aren't that many, in fact I have no holidays left this year, everything looks gloomy. My job's quite a bitch. 'Nuff said here in this forum. Wanna run -- Wish me luck peeps!
Well my weekend was good. Just sat at home all day today, cooked quite a lot, watched Formula 1(what have u done to me, K?!?).. I just started reading Chetan Bhagat's Revolution 2020.. Believe it or not, I went to Landmark just to get it. I say that because I know quite a few friends who can't stand the dude. I like his style of writing - it's simple and light. His 2 States was quite hilarious. His other books haven't been too bad either...  So decided to give this one a shot.
Otherwise its been a lazy, gloomy, rainy day.... Chennai weather has been SEXY! You don't hear that too often, do ya? I cannot believe that it is the same city that scorches 40 degrees in Summer.
Tonight is perfect weather to gorge on hot yummy Maggi --- unfortunately for me, K HATES maggi. Me thinks I should have put this down as a condition to marry me! :P Too late now!
I think I'll go switch on the music and dance now. Au Revoir!

Festival Time!

Come September and its festivals galore in India - Id, Ganesh Chathurthi, Onam, Kolu and what not!
Its our first Ganesh Puja at home tomorrow and I'm really excited! The Ganapati in my house has ordered that I make Kozhakattais for him. Iyyo. It sounds tres complicated but I've promised to give it a shot!
Will try and put some pictures of my lovely Ganesha!

Happy Ganesh Chathurthi everyone! =)

Id Mubarak!

To my trillion Mozzy friends out there, have a wonderful day! I miss the yum biryani Shaan's mum makes, I miss making visits to Mehaj/Zam's places, I totally miss the yummy sher korma that Tariq lovingly made for me in good ol' St. Louis. Enjoy the day you guys! Much love, ME :-)
