Aah yes....the time has come to break the silence.I announce to the blogging world that I am indeed alive and well and no,I was not abducted by an alien mothership.Life has gone on pretty smoothly since the last time I wrote.The hiatus was certainly not planned.A lot of things much-worthy of writing about happened in the past few weeks.....it was just that I could never get around to putting it down (the only person who was even slightly worried about this was my relative,my one sole faithful reader).I feel sorry for disappointing him.
There are two reasons I can think of for why I haven't written in a while.One is that I have this strong feeling that I have to write something good,something people(!!) would enjoy reading.In my attempt to make sure it is perfect or close to it,I go over it in my head atleast a few times.This means by the time I get to writing it,I have already spent a considerable amount of time on working it out.In this lies the second reason.I have thought about what I am going to write for enough time now that it makes me feel like I have already written about it and there's nothing more to be said.I know it all sounds pretty twisted but imagine if all this was going through your head,do you think you could have written a sensible piece??Well,now that I have decided that I am just going to put down what comes to mind without striving to make it perfect (like this is going to be published or something),I am hoping to churn out posts more regularly.
Ok,now for something about what's happening with me.My latest undertaking is to try something new every day.It doesn't have to be anything big just something that I haven't done or something that I didn't know before.Just makes life more interesting,I think.Started yesterday....tried making vegetable puff for the very first time.And am proud to say that it did turn out pretty decent.Looked,smelled and tasted like the real thing.
The weather is awful here.....dull,gray days with the sun setting at 5pm :((!!!Pathetic!!!We get to see the sun about twice a week.If I tell people back at home that we long to see the sun,they'd laugh!!Considering the amount of sun that we have there........Anyway,the holiday mood has set in and everybody is trying to do their best to brighten up these deary days with festive lights and decorations and all.
My brother-in-law is visiting next weekend and I can't wait......he is bringing loads of goodies that he brought for us from home.Honestly,some of it is pretty mundane stuff like spices and other podis but nevertheless,the thought of something from home is always exciting.I can't wait to see my Dad's meticulous packing with yards of tape wound around everything just to make sure it doesn't spill.And also,this is the first time somebody from my husband's side is going to visit us.I want to make a good impression and am all geared up to be the perfect hostess!!!Keeping fingers crossed on how it's all going to turn out.
Ah well,this had turned out to be more like a letter but anyway am glad I've started posting again.It didn't take as long as I thought it would which is good.....I shall do it more often.That's about it for now.....wonder who's going to read this one (notice I say who and not how many....one reader and I am a happy girl)!!!
