  • Relaxing times at the nail salon

    I blame it on the Spring weather today. but on my way home from work today I had the sudden urge to get my nails done. This thought is as alien as a kid calling out for more kale with a side of broccoli.  The last time I had a pedicure was in 2010 for…

  • Asha’s 2nd Birthday!

    It’s hard to imagine that my little baby is already two. I’m sure that I will say the same when Asha is three, four, five … thirty, because even though as parents we expect our kids to learn and grow each day, the act itself seems so surprising and sudden at these milestones. How time…

  • Smoothies

    We have owned a Vitamix blender for a little over two years. Dev bought it as my birthday present when I was pregnant with Asha because, well, I would not stop talking about it. My grand plans included meal replacement smoothies, hot soups, and healthy desserts everyday.

  • City Guide: Chicago in the winter

    For a girl from the South (and the tropical motherland of India), I am not entirely sold on the Midwest winter. There are days when the wind seems to pierce through my skin and into my bones no matter how many layers of clothes I am wearing. Thankfully this happens only a handful of times…
