A view of the rainbow from my balcony after a week of rain in LA

Project 365 - A Photo a Day

Project 365 which has been becoming famous lately is all about posting a photo a day for 365 days of the year. it is a great way to snap your memories and cherish them later.

I am planning to do this Project in order to improve my photography skills and also to put my dSLR into good use.

You can expect to see a photograph clicked by me posted daily here. I will try my best to update it regularly or atleast twice a week!

Wish me Good Luck!

Scavenger Hunt - My new photography hobby!

This is the first time I am participating in a photography related event. Time to experiment with my dSLR! I am still a newbie in photography and hope it becomes one of my passions similar to cooking!

In case you are wondering what Scavenger Hunt is - It is a photography related event, where each week five topics are chosen and you get to post a photo on each topic on Sunday or Tuesday the latest. Once you post your photos, you need to link back here.

This week's choices were..
  1. In my home
  2. It's beginning to look a lot like..
  3. Sweet Treat
  4. Time
  5. Everyday
Here are my clicks!
In my home
This is a decorative piece which we picked up somewhere near Jaipur during our North India trip. It now adorns our living room!

It's beginning to look a lot like..
This picture was taken during our thanksgiving trip to San Antonio. This was a decoration at our hotel lobby. It sure is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Sweet Treat
This was a sweet cute gift from my friend Anu which I received during our LA foodies meet! They are actually minty dark chocolate bars..

Time
Our wall clock from IKEA which adorns our living room above the fireplace.

Everyday
This was what I immediately thought when I read the topic "Everyday". I brush twice a day and this is a picture of my toothbrush and toothpaste :P

Looking forward to participate in many more photography events!

Dusting away my abandoned blog!

I know! I have abandoned this place not just for a while, but for almost eight months! Sigh! Time flies so fast! Past few months several interesting things have happened in my life. We had a great relaxing vacation in India this time.. Travelling places, visiting friends and family and some amazing home-cooked mom's food.. Now am having a serious writing and cooking block. Haven't started cooking all three meals, have been surviving on frozen meals and quick cooking meals for a while. Time to wrap up all those and get into serious cooking and baking so that we eat fresh, wholesome meals.

Time to show my new friend these days! My new camera which my dear hubby got for me! Here is a picture!
Hoping to update a few of my clicks regularly!
Am not even sure if anyone is reading my ramblings here! If you do, whoever it is please drop in to say a Hi!

"I AM NOT GIVING UP NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I START OVER"

I had abandoned this space for a while and wanted to post something today!
Several things going on.. Moved to a new place and trying to settle in the new place.. Working on assignments and projects and exams.. Arranging things in place in our new home..
Amidst all this, i never wanted to give up on the C25K program I had started a while ago. I started my Week1 Day1 again this morning and ran up the hill near our house. It was fun exploring places during the run! Will update some pics of the hill later.
I had hardly been cooking for the past two weeks after clearing out my fridge and yet to start filling my pantry again! The best part is I have a trader joes close by and I walk everyday up to the store to buy something :)
Another update: I am trying to stay away from Facebook, Farmville, Cafe World n Orkut for the past couple of weeks and have been successful! I find a lot of free time in my hands now and realize how much time I have wasted in all these social networking sites and games. Let me see how long I can refrain !

On another note: Have you heard of lotions and soaps made with flax seed, quinoa and whole wheat! Check this out!!
