full house

Growing up in a big family I've always loved having a houseful of people! So last week when my seniors had come to mysore it was reason enough to celebrate.We cooked up a storm, we made salad, chicken, mashed potatoes, garlic bread, macaroni and cheesecake.
 







I love peanuts and i can LIVE on this salad, its super easy to make.
You just need to cut up some vegetables ( i usually use iceberg lettuce/cabbage, tomato and carrot),
Make the dressing ( olive oil, sugar and lime juice mixed in a blender),
and add some  roasted peanuts, roasted sesame and roasted noodles, the noodles and peanuts give the salad a crunch. The salad is yummiest when its cold so pop it in the freezer for a few minutes!...

The night was definitely one to remember. Yummy food and amazing company!..

chai....





Good morning Mysore!
We decided to explore a bit today!..  It had rained last  night so  it was cold and the perfect weather for chai and dosa!
After breakfast we went to the main market, its my favourite place to visit!.... its got a million narrow streets selling everything from vegetables to chimes...







Aint it funny.....

Today was one of those days where you cant help but love Mysore.We went to loafing in the older part of the city today.The city has this crazy energy thats hard to explain... Its one of those laid back cities, where everyone smiles at you and no one is in a hurry to get anywhere,but at the same time its bustling with life and colour. It has the prettiest buildings, the quaintest cafes and beleive you me, the yummiest idlis ever! Idlis aren't my favourite food but these are hot and served with a dollop of butter, it literally melts in your mouth..There is  something about mysore and lights!.. the city is lit up for every festival...The first time i saw the palace lit up, i had goosebumps, dussera is like christmas here.Every street is lit up and everyone is celebrating regardless of where they are from!.. The funniest thing is when you are walking down a road, the same road you walk down every day and out of nowhere theres a stage! right in the middle of the road!! Its amusing how stages crop up on the road and everyone just finds another way to get to wherever they have to go to...I never ever imagined myself living here, funny how life works out,the hobby that you once had becomes your job, the people you met on the first day of college become your family and the the city you were determined not to like becomes your home...

Pascucci

Last year this friend of mine found a little kitten on the road and decided to bring him home....He was the cutest little thing .. he could fit in  the palm of my hand. Growing up i've had a lot of pets but never a cat( because my parents HATE cats for some reason! ) and all of us were dog people ( or so we thought)...Pascucci was a handfull...We'd come home from college n the house would be a mess! he would have spilt milk all over the place or shredded the news paper or pooped all over our clothes !And when you would try scolding him he would jump around all spastic, it was the weirdest thing and you couldn't help but laugh. And no matter how angry I got with him i'd wake up the next morning with him curled up below my chin. 


The semester went by fast and before we knew it , it was time for us to go home and we didnt know what to do with him.. None of us could take him home with us n we couldn't leave him here all alone.. so we sent him to live on a  friends farm in Coorg where he could run around and be with other cats. = )...Its been a year but we still miss him .. Like the say "our best companions have no fewer than 4 feet"...
