Fuchsia

Fuchsia 💞 

A gorgeous flower...loved by humming birds...and me too😊.

I discovered this beauty on my UG excursion to Ooty and fell in love at first sight 😊. I was so mesmerized by this flower😍... That I, before taking a pic, forgot to remove the lens cover😝(yeah... cam...those days  😒). Thus...missed to capture the beautiful memory😔

Once again... I was lucky enough to have a sight of it after a few years😍... On my tour to Nainital... with my hubby and 1½ year old son. We stopped by a small hotel for a few minutes... And just before leaving from there... Saw this beauty second time in my life... . Sadly...That day I was sick😔and couldn't capture a clear pic... Again missed it😯😓

I didn't know the name of the flower... Didn't own a picture... The pretty flower remained a mystery to me😩.

In a couple of years... I suddenly remembered this beauty... And then thanks to technology😇... went on a vigorous hunting spree... in search of a name and its pic with the help of "Google" and "Pinterest" 😎. 

This time I was really lucky. Found the beauty's name😅... "Fuchsia"💕.  A lovely name indeed😊. And to my surprise I found varieties of the same Flower in Pinterest ... Each one gorgeous of its own kind😱👌...

A Beast which haunted me for years☺... Is really a Beauty... Fuchsia 😙

Rava Kesari - A hit recipe

It was a big experience... For me 😛. Yes making Rava Kesari the first time😊.  Rava Kesari is considered as one of the easiest dessert at Indian homes but to me it was a challenge. If you don't cook properly you might end up with raw rawa... Or with the wrong consistency. It might be too runny or get too hard. It has a huge risk of forming lumps or getting burnt... which is definitely not good. Phew.... 😰. I'm just wondering... Is it one of the easiest dessert??? 😅

I had relatives from Singapore last week to Chennai. And their daughter's favorite dessert was Payasam and Kesari. She had a couple of chances to have payasam in hotels we dined at. So I thought will make Kesari at home for her😊. I googled Rava Kesari and directly clicked Rakskitchen link, one of my go-to blog for many recipes. I blindfoldedly followed the measurements and steps as it is and guess what??? I ended up with yummy rava Kesari 👌(sorry😔😓... No photo).

Everyone liked it. And yes... My best critic, my Mom, loved it a lot. She was full of praises (which is very rare 😉) for the recipe, the consistency, the taste, the flavor and so on😀...

Thanks a lot Rajeswari (Rakskitchen) 🙇... For the perfect  Rava Kesari Recipe. A new (traditional) recipe learnt😇.

2nd September 2016...

Picture updated... Made the delicious Rava Kesari, again, for my birthday yesterday 😝. Definitely it's a fool-proof recipe. Tastes yummy everytime (though I made it only twice 😆).

May Flower - My Click - Pondicherry

May Flower... 

That's what my brother and I called these lovely ladies, during our childhood days... Hmm... Nostalgic 😊.  We gave this name just because it blooms a lot only during the month of May. And even now, after we have kids, still keep calling it by the same name... Not interested to google the real name. Ha ha. 

This year, May month, I'm with my son in Pondicherry for vacation. So got an opportunity to capture these blooms.
