My First Idli #TastyTuesday #flavoursometuesday

March 6, 2018March 7, 201822 Comments

My parents were not much into travel. They only used to make an annual trip to Kolkata during the winters. November to February in Gangtok used to be unbearably cold and my Mom’s Kashmiri shawl and Bhutiya cardigans inadequately couldn't ward off the cold. Therefore, she used to land herself in Kolkata and obtain warmth … Continue reading My First Idli #TastyTuesday #flavoursometuesday

Dinner Date

On a depressing day when I sit alone and try to think of happy incidences to boost my mood, I invariably think of the day when I had bhaang with my friend M. The memory somehow always uplifts my spirit. M and myself were inseparable in those days and we did all things together (We … Continue reading Bhaang Khaiyo #memoir

In entire Gangtok there were only two sweet shops, Laxmi Sweets and Dey sweets. The former sold only ladoo and peda. The later apparently sold Bengali Sweets.

Peter Cat, Park Street 2006 It was the month of July. Trina remembers the month because their first date coincided with his birthday.

Took me 1.5 months to finish this book. I would recommend this book to whoever wants to find some peace and joyfulness in life. Two of the most spiritual and humanitarian holy leader share their insights on how we can find joy in the mundane. How we can get rid of anger and learn to forgive. If you want to heal your soul read this book for some calmness.
Ever since the pandemic hit, we had stopped going out for #girlsnightout. However, now that one of our friends is shifting, we decided to go out. It was midweek, yet Wednesday felt like Friday.
When Wednesday feels like Friday
Happiness is in simple things. Sometimes, just a simple cup of tea, early in the morning is enough to make your day.
