Beetroot Pulav
Today is 1st of August and I have decided
that I will blog regularly. Well, if you are wondering as to why I decided on
this particular day, that is because both the kids are away and I need to use
my time constructively without letting the children feel that their absence is
immensely felt. Nothing can actually fill the void but I guess seeing these
posts , they will be happy and proud of their motherJ.
