How are you guys? What are you up to currently? I’m home in Kerala for a celebration! Details soon. Last month was all about the Write Tribe Pro Blogger Challenge and this is my final post for the same. I was staring at the computer screen for long and then decided to take a look at my old posts. That’s how I stumbled upon a similar post which I had written for the same challenge last year. That’s when it hit me! I should do this every month.
So starting today, I would do this fun post called ‘Currently in..‘ on the first of every month because I believe it helps in organizing my otherwise ‘all-over-the-place’ thoughts. It is fun, don’t you think?
Reading… Chocolat by Joanne Harris. I have been wanting to read this book since a long time. I also have Sundari Venkatraman’s latest.
Playing… with the furbabies – Simba and Chakki! You should visit my Instagram for more info!
Watching… Just done with How I Met Your Mother! Yes, I’m watching it only now! I felt that the makers were in a hurry to end the series. Don’t you think so? Otherwise, I’m planning to watch a handful of recent releases, because yeah. You got it right! No hope of watching the latest flicks once I get back to the cantonment!
Trying… to burn some calories and get back in shape. Just found out that I’m ill. I have been neglecting my health for a long time. It’s high time that I do something about it. Actually, everything about it.
Cooking… Kerala dishes, especially with seafood. As you know, these aren’t available at the hilltop.
Eating… Healthy….almost.
Drinking… Honey and lime juice in warm water every morning! Good for detox!
Calling… the husband! Miss him, you know!
Texting… friends 😉
Hoping (to)… attend the Indiblogger BNLF and meet some of my favorite bloggers. Fingers crossed!
Pinning… Nothing! Been a while since I opened my Pinterest!
Tweeting… regarding the blogger meet for more details and clarification! I ought to figure out things.
Going… to the beaches in Kerala! It has been a long time!
Loving… my time at Parent’s! Can’t get enough of the pampering, you see.
Hating… to know that I’ve yet again been taken for a ride by a fellow blogger. Meh :/
Discovering… that I’m ill and that’s an eyeopener!
Thinking… about sarees, dresses, jewelry, hairstyles!
Feeling… uninspired! Though there are a lot of things in my head and on my to-do list, I’m just feeling Meh!
Listening (to)… Bas Ek Pal
Celebrating… the reason why I came home to my parents. 🙂
Smelling… Yardley English Lavender. My perfume!
Ordering… Three Kalamkari blouses for my saree! Yeah, I’m obsessed.
Thanking… my lucky stars for giving me such a loving family!
Considering… where I want my food blog to go in the future. I’ve got some big dreams, Y’all.
Starting… a 4km walk..daily!
Finishing… last minute preparations for the celebration!

Busy busy busy as usual. Love this list . Is this a blog hop? Also is the Write Tribe Problogger Challenge a permanent link? The suspense on knowing what your impending celebration is actually killing me . Can only speculate. Hope you have fun in DD with the other bloggers. Alas I can’t join in !

Shalini, hope you are feeling better now. Some great things lined up in November. I am looking forward to meeting you and the other blogger friends I have met only online to date. I love everything about Kerala, lived there for almost a decade when my husband was posted in the Naval base there. Looking forward to meeting some great people at the BNLF. The furbabies look adorable.
Aesha Shah says
Looking forward to more recipes on your food blog, Shalini. All the best! Working towards a healthy lifestyle is the right thing to do. May you succeed. As for me, I have started to learn ‘Kathak’. Just finished off with my swimming coaching and now I am sure I can save myself from drowning. So one very important life skill learned in the month of September and October.

Totally disagree with the hoping to part. 😛 That’s not a hope. that should be a reality. Grrr. 😉
Lata Sunil says
Looking forward to hear about your celebration. I love the way your cooking website is going. It is my go to site for cooking and I tell my friends/relatives to check it out 🙂 Wish you all the best for the orange awards too.

Today was Remembrance Day in Canada. November 11th. It is a National Holiday set aside to remember those who have defended our freedom [living & gone]. We have a minute or two of silence at 11:00am with ceremonies in every town and city. A parade of military, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, Air Cadets, etc. down the town area to a cenotaph where the names of the fallen from that town/city are read, and families/friends lay wreaths [usually of poppies]
It is November 11th because on November 11th at 11:00am in 1918 that the hostilities ended of WWI.
So I, of course, thought of family members who served. But I also thought of you.
Hope you are having a nice weekend.
