My husband is seriously thinking of applying for driver’s license. He has already passed the theory test last year. But he has heard that it is very difficult to pass the practicals here. So he has to first take driving lessons. Last year when we were in India, we used a driver to drive us around. And one day when we were in Delhi, the driver left the car and roamed. The Municipal corporation people towed away the car. We had so much difficulty in finding the car and ultimately had to pay a fine. It is better to have the services of a company like curt hitches to get things done. My husband always has useful numbers in his pocket phonebook. You never know when your mobile dies on you and you are left in a lurch.

I know there are lots of recipes on the internet explaining how to make tasty gulab jamuns. But they all need milk powder or something similar to make gulab jamuns. I need a recipe which the chefs use. I am sure the local chefs of Indian markets won’t be using Milkmaid or Gits for their routine recipe. So what is the alternative to milk powder to make gulb jamuns?

My two year old son has Rickets. We didn’t get to know about it till we went to India last year. My father, who is a surgeon, noticed that my son walked funny. He suggested that we get the wrist API ( X ray) done. Which we did and his suspicion was confirmed. Later the pediatrician prescribed some medicine, which I fed my son religiously. We were in India for four months. He got lots of sunlight and I think he was improving. Now we are back in UK and I am afraid that his condition ( Rickets) will again relapse. He is a very active kid and eats well.

We were at a friend’s house and he asked my husband whihc laptop they should buy. My husband advised that they should opt for the best deal in the market irrespective of the brand. The friend argued thta the battery life will drastically reduce if there are power cuts. Then my husband laughed and said’ This is not India where power supplies are as scarce as horns on a donkey. I was amused at the use of simily, but he was right.

I am madly in love with Arnav. Okay , no need to tell my husband. He has nothing to worry. Arnav is only a fictional character from the serial Is Pyaar ko Kya Naam Doon. I never miss an episode. Mostly I watch it at leisure after Idownload videos from youtube. I don’t even let my daughter play her programme on TV when I am watching my serial. I have only been so much crazy for one other serial ever. It is Dhoop Kinare.
