Sep 30 - Looks delicious!

It has been one and half months since I updated my cooking blog and have not cooked anything yet, since I got back from India. I thought of trying this recipe but was lazy to go out and pick the required ingredients! The excuse was the rain... yes, the rain! It has followed me back New York, as if 6 weeks of rain in Hyderabad wasn't enough for me. Even I am tired wining about the too much rain. :)

Sep 28 - Pigeon

Good to be back home and to pigeon watching. That balcony is my downstairs neighbor's.

Sep 27 - Back home to this...

I got back in the morning and had not clicked a picture for the day.  When I got home this morning, these scaffolding were hanging outside my window in the living room and in the guest bedroom.  I thought the management must be getting the building painted or something and since it was raining, the work was halted.  Later in the evening,  U tells me that these have been hanging like that for over a week!

Sep 15 - Inorbit, newest mall in the city

Everyone was talking about this mall and had to check it out.  The mall is big and more stores yet to open.  I heard so much about the stores in the mall and was a bit disappointed!  Shopper Stop, Life Style, Mebaz, Fab India, Kalanjali, Max and many more stores had an outlet in the mall.  The lonely store where I found some interesting stuff and picked up couple of tops is And. 

  That is Durgam Cheruvu from the mall.
