Life was quite busy after finishing college.One job after the other was busy for the whole day,go home just to sleep and get back to work the next morning.Mom always used to complain that i am not spending time with her or with the sisters.But used to like the way my life was going.
Once married left the job and joined hubby in muscat.Life was the same,very busy and hectic.Then followed kids.Left the career for the kids and very happy for the move.I am writing all this because i am very happy that i am getting much time for myself and for my hobbies.I love painting,cooking and my new love is blogging.
Blogging was introduced to me by my classmate liju (most of you know him as Philips).I got him through a social network site.We got in touch after 18years of leaving the school.He told me about blogging and i was very regular to his blog,then he gave me an idea to start my own blog.Now its been more than three months and my love for blogging is increasing.When i started my hubby said it will be one of your hobby which you will get bored after some time.But no he is wrong.After a month i started my food blog and have very good friends there.
Thanx a lot sandhya for giving me this lovely award.

Hitchwriter aka Dhiren:His first comment was on my cake post.When i saw his comment immediately hopped to his blog and got addicted to his blog.His post are very honest post.We exchanged gmail ids and used to chat very often.Since few days he is not seen much on gmail,maybe he busy as he is going on a 10 day vacation.
Smitha:- Got first comment from smitha on Cheers to UAE govt,then she was on a vacation.But i read all her post in her absence.Once after back from vacation she started writing as usual.She covers all the relevant topics.One day suddenly i got a mail from her,was so happy.So we both are in touch now.
Chirag:-Everyone of you know chirag and his post.I read all his post and commented only on few.He is very creative in writing and designing the header as well.First i wrote to him for a header for my food blog.He immediately responded and did a beautiful header for my blog,which many of them appreciated.Thanx chirag for the header.
Ramya:-She is my new blogger friend.She writes from her heart.I liked her post on a riddle which was very difficult to crack.And also she writes about her son,who is so sweet and cute.And also i liked her post on golden days about her house and childhood memories.
Indyeah:-I started reading indyeah blog since i started blogging,but never wrote a comment.She has a great command on her writing.Her post on her father made me cry.I cried like a baby when i read her post.Believe me i read it 10 times and even if i read now i will cry.I left a comment on that post and that was my first comment on her blog.I liked the vibrant colours of india on her blog.
I request all of you to accept the award.And also i love to read rakesh,solilo,Krishna kumar,rekha,pooja,maya,ranu and nsiyer.I am getting tempted to change the rules and give the award to all my blog friends.Can i change the rule Sandhya??

Congratulations, Varunavi! You certainly deserve this!!! Thank you so much for passing it on to me! I'm honored! Thank you!!!!
Such a lovely post and you are such a lovely person! just yesterday - I went and 'discovered' your food blog! I am so impressed! How do you manage to find the time! As I said, it is totally my pleasure to get this and to know you!
Congratulations :)
And Thank You Varunavi ... as much for your kind words as for the award :)
I discovered your blog after reading your comment on the post about hot hot chappaties. I had no idea you and Philip were classmates ...he is one of the very first people to leave a comment on my blog :) Isn't the blogosphere such a small world?
I am sure your kids will be really proud that you started blogging, specially all your touching posts about them... they grow so fast, it will always be a joy to read these posts- many years from today, they will mean even more to you... I think the blogs become an important part of our lives, we can't get bored of them... a break maybe at the most, you will definitely continue blogging for many, many years :)
awww(((hugs))):)))
Congratulations Varunavi! You are a sweet soul and you deserve all the love.
