On a rain soaked day ...

Whilst other parts of the world is experiencing the warmth of summer, for us, it's the glorious rainy season. Today is a day of a cloudy sky with the rain drizzling since morning. It is wonderful to watch the silver streak of rain water dropping from the sky outside the window. I love the rain and the way our mood gets influenced by the way we perceive things ...  

With the gloomy weather outside I wanted to relax and enjoy the climate with a casual sit down lunch with an easy to make meal. As I don't want to strike off soups and salads from the food list, as boring, keeping that in mind, I prepared a quick crispy salad and soup to have along with fruits and laid a table in my favorite and usual place as the drizzles became heavier than before.

I feel a simple dish presented with a simple styling idea & with imagination can be inviting and this turned out to be a prefect deal for a rain soaked day.





















Sprouts can be called super foods as they enhance health energy and longevity since they have the greatest nutrient content all raw foods.

Even with simple preparations food must first look good, smell great & be finally delicious.


This has been my 25th post since I started blogging. I would like to thank my readers, and wonderful followers, whose comments and encouragement, drive me to continue blogging. Love You All... Thanks.

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M

Falling in Love with Fall

Learning is always the best thing to do in life. To learn all about fall and the things associated with this time of year was informative and enjoyable. Fall can be romantic and poetic with the change of colours & with the first frost and falling leaves. The season is all about the display of colors in nature & about fruits like Plump Pumpkins, Red Berries, Nuts, Ornamental Gourds, Rosy Pomegranates, along with Apples, Pears, decorative coloured cabbage & pretty-frilled leaves. Other things include welcoming wreaths, sturdy baskets, potpourri, wooden trugs, pottery bowls jugs, pitchers & terracotta pots.Copper and brass add charm to the season. Colours most used in Fall include burnt orange, green, golds, browns, reds, pinks, rich mauves and so on. I have given a finishing touch to this corner with the elements of Fall and it looked beautiful.                                      Thank you for your visit:):)
