Covid day 55 - Is it still Monday?!!

Had another looong day at work. Followed by a pretty good workout! Attempted my pre-covid routine to drink a smoothie in the morning and eat dinner early - feeling good already 😊
Let’s see if these two changes help with my annoying bloating 😐
Work front - PowerPoint diagrams are sooo hard to manipulate 😡 ughhhhhh

Dwitiya Vighnam

The real reason why I blogged today is to avoid "Dwitiya Vighnam"...I dont even wanna try translating this into english but I'll definitely try to explain what it means. "Dwitiya Vighnam" is a popular Hindu belief....if you 'start' doing something one day then you continue to do the same thing the next day. Say for e.g. I started blogging yesterday, so if I don't blog today then it's not considered a good start. Dwitiya  => second Vighnam => obstacle I believe the real reason behind this belief is to encourage continuity. But I'm the kinda person who does something for 2 days to avoid Dwitiya Vighnam and then stops doing it the third day ;)

Half Saree (Langa voni)

Image
Half saree, aka Langa Voni (in Telugu), is a traditional south Indian outfit typically worn by teenage girls. It's called a 'half' saree cuz it's, well, just half a saree :) It's synonymous with a Lehenga Choli or Chaniya Choli from north India. Young girls would wear half-sarees and gradually as they grow, transition to wearing sarees. I remember wearing my first half-saree when I was 12 years old. It was such a big deal for me, getting a 'semi-grown-up' feeling for the first time. The trend sorta faded away, taken over by really grand n expensive salwars, but they are back with a bang! They're not just for young girls anymore. This fashion trend has boomed so overwhelmingly that they're almost as popular as sarees. And it's not just exclusive to south India anymore, girls n women all over the country are wearing them. And wearing them with style! I'm gonna use this post to showcase a few trends that I like and also show off my collec...

Gulab Jamun

What is it about these sweet brown syrupy balls from heaven that I can't stop enjoying them? Hey, hey hold on....I'm talking about Gulab Jamun of course 😜 This popular Indian sweet dish has been my favorite since childhood. Every time mom would make them, that would be the only thing I'd eat for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Was never such a big fan of sweets, this was an exception! After moving to the US, I attempted to eat them at multiple Indian restaurants including anna's - but never liked them anywhere. They were either too hard, not soft enough or too spongy! I tried making them at home with MTR Gulab Jamun mix - nah, the goodness was till missing. I almost gave up hope of eating yummy GJ 😔Until.....I visited by BFF and her friend's husband made them while we were chatting. First of all it was surprising that he made them in the time that it took the girls to chat, and second of all they were DELICIOUS!! I mean REALLY DELICIOUS! That was it, my hope cam...
