Happy Birthday Nani!



It was nani's 71st birthday yesterday. Nani, mother of all mothers, our beauty queen...ready with tips on how to look good and fair and our kitchen queen!. She is the most important person in the entire family, like sun in the solar system. We all revolve and rotate around her. It was the special day for her and cannot be missed. 


While it was a working day, none of our four set of parents could manage to meet her, but the day cannot be missed. So, understanding the situation we five brothers and sisters chalked out a plan to meet her on the day...IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A SURPRISE!! but as they say,,,,there is no secret in a family!!

Well we.... famous five reached at nani's place..bought a bouquet for her, dhokla for nani and nanu...(as they do not eat cakes and pastries...eggs and non-veg!!) and blackforest pastries for ourselves. We all coordinated with each other... messaged, called and reached the venue(nani's place) on time...BUT again as they say...too many cooks spoils the broth...our latest edition, fifth in the series,my youngest brother reached the place well fifteen minutes before time...and told her about the plan innocently telling the reason behind his sudden arrival  while trying not to reveal the plan...BUTT!! That is my youngest brother for you...naughty, mischievous, cute, sweet and adorable. 

ok...after waiting downstairs for absolutely nothing...we crackpots went upstairs to wish her. She was happy and enthralled to see us. Her enthusiast eyes narrated her feelings and emotions. Soon, nanu was called...and we celebrated her birthday, Though it was not grand arrangement...but it was a luxurious experience. 

Love you Nani!

Sweet memories from 90s!

Lets confess, we all loved those colourful sweet balls called toffees and candies. Every kid's prized possession, one look at them now will take you to back down the memory lane. For those born in mid 80s, these toffees were permament attractions and now are the fondest memories. For people like us, they are also the symbol of simple and less complicated life back then. Lets take some time to feel the way we used to feel back then and live a part of our childhood, a feeling so special and full of nostalgia: Still catch on one of those! The Dollar Bite! A family treat after dinners Melody hai choclaty...dekho kaisi choclaty! our very own..white choclate! Coffee ya Toffee!?! Baratiyon ka swagat tto pan pasand se hoga! The orange candies! The tranparent ones made them look so attractive Just a glimpse of these and our mind wanders through the times we used to play on streets & backlanes carefree. The days where we used to wait for eve...
