Binging on Melon sorbet

Ummmm, I went after popping a piece of melon sorbet I made. Yeah, yeah!  it’s not the apt time to indulge in sorbets, but I had to try this one out after I read it in a magazine. It turned out delicious.

I heaped a bowl full of inviting melon sorbet, made myself comfortable on the sofa and went ummmm every time I popped in a piece of the wonderfully colored sorbet.

Me and my beast



The picture you are seeing out here is of my vehicle, I call it a beast! J. Of course, because of its vast size! My good friend, Monirupa even has a name for it – Elephant. She says its ground clearance is so high you feel as if you are mounting on to rather than getting into a vehicle.
Yes indeed, I was scared to tame this beast but it was my husband who gave me the push and courage to drive it. Though I drove it gingerly just like anyone would a new born, I soon learnt to control it. And it’s now been my constant everyday for the last nine months. And yes, when I am driving this down the streets I do get all the eyeballs.
 The best compliment I get is when a man driver turns back and looks at me in awe, and the best a woman had paid a compliment is, “You look like a stud driving it” - and that compliment was paid by my colleague Ramya.
But the super compliment I got and cherish is from my hubby. He once said to my parents when I was ferrying them to a relative’s place, “Relax papa, she drives better than me.”
