A Fishy Sunday affair
Yawn, as I stretched lazily on the sofa sipping my Tea (yes, we Indians are 99.9% Tea drinkers), I began reminiscing of my days back in Pune. Days when I had the best fish cuts available to turn them into delectable scrumptious curries and fries which went so well with your basic Rice or Chappati(Indian bread)
Sigh, I miss my Surmai fry,Bombil fry,Pomfret fry ( fish in Indian names and fry meaning shallow fried fish) which accompanied with a fish or prawn curry just could put you in heaven. And in this dreamy state, I declared to my husband that I wanted some fish to cook up a Sunday luncheon to fill our belly and please our souls.
Now, initially he was reluctant as in Delhi, it’s pretty hard to get good Fresh Sea fish as we are so far inland from the sea. So I began enticing him by describing that I would make fish fry with the fish being marinated in Indian spices and shallow fried to perfection with the fish being crispy from the outside and soft from inside; And not to mention the curry I would make with coconut cream which would be spicy and yet mellow enough to ease and balance out the palate. And in a few minutes, I had him seduced over the idea, and he agreed to source me some Sea fish from a market he knew which would have them.

A few of my favourite things
One fine day my sister popped up on my whatsapp message asking me advice from primer to lipshade for an upcoming event. She basically was running out of her makeup and not being someone like me who keeps an eye out of what is new, what works and so on, she approached me to help.
Now advising her on whatsapp, I ended up with a list which I have adapted from the conversation to compile out in this post cause it just made me happy to talk about and advise her on makeup. I’ll try and keep it short, and advise only on products which are easily available in the Indian market.
