The Beat in My Heart

  • HobbiesI love gardening. I love indoor and outdoor plants. Indoor plants give any house the feeling of home. They brighten up the place and also give you clean air to breathe. Gardening is a good exercise too! Unfortunately, we live in a place where the summer lasts only 3 months and added to that, we have a small balcony where we can fit only 5 or 6 plants. So, I get disappointed by that but I still try to get the maximum benefit out of it. The next thing I love is scrap booking. I discovered this while I was home after graduation looking for a job. I was so bored and so decided to re arrange all the photos that were lying around in our house. Once I found out how nice it is to scrapbook and save the pictures, I was very excited. I have learn’t some amazing techniques and have improved a lot since my first scrapbook page 🙂 Now when we are on vacation, I look for some nice postcards or take some pictures just to include in the scrapbook. Cooking is another hobby of mine. I try to make fresh food everyday and always try…

    Summer 2022

    I finally made the time to write about our summer. After two years of not traveling, this summer was a welcome change. The summer went by in a jiffy – maybe I should say summer vacation because in California, summer is not over until end of October. Our summer vacation was super busy yet relaxing…

    I cannot believe it is already the end of April. As usual I need to catch up with so many things and I barely get the time to go for a haircut on a regular basis. Sometimes I feel like it is only April and so many things already happened this year. Sanjay went on…

  • Happiness Post

    Happiness is watching cousins having fun together after two and half years. We drove to my SIL’s place over the winter break and the kids had a lot of fun. We hadn’t been there after 2019 Summer thanks to Covid. It was a shot trip, but felt good to see all of them. Happiness is…

    Halloween

    This year’s Halloween was different like everything else. The kids didn’t get to wear costumes to school or go trick or treating. They were disappointed initially, but we convinced them saying it is better to stay home. They are old enough to understand, but were still not happy. They did play some Halloween games during…

    Dasera 2020

    This year, the festivities are different. We have the bommala koluvu as usual, but did not visit anyone or have people over in the 10 days of Navratri. It all feels different. I have been meaning to buy more dolls for the koluvu whcih hasn’t happened this year either. Hopefully, next year I will have…

    This year has been the most unique year for everyone. My in-laws are currently with my brother in law and family. Over the summer break, my father in law asked if the kids would like to learn Sanskrit. S and I were happy although the kids were not sure. He started teaching Sanskrit to Sarath…

  • Ruth Bader Ginsburg

    I am sad along with an entire nation about the passing away of an iconic woman – Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She is an inspiration to so many of us young and old. I always have a great reverence for women who are achievers, who have shown that anything is possible. There are many women in…
