You asked for it!

Thank You, everyone who joined my pity-party yesterday. You will be glad to know it is over and I am back in my element. You would also be glad to know that I got my act together and decided to cook the god-damn Poha [an Indian dish made with flat rice] myself and ate it for breakfast-lunch-and-dinner! 
There. Done and over with!

Anyhooo, moving on, today I decided to address the question which i keep getting in my comments. Mostly I try and answer them all individually, but these are the 'repetitive' ones:

Home-town? 
I am from Delhi, as you must have deciphered from yesterday's post. My family, in-laws and most of my childhood friend still live there. Hence, it is home. 

Current Location?
I live in Texas, U.S.A. with my husband. 

Do I cook Non-Vegetarian food, in spite of being a vegetarian myself?
My husband eats everything, leaves and animals alike. I do cook everything as long as it's clean and bloodless, except for fish and omelet as I cannot stand it's smell. 

Why don't I name the brands of my hand-bags/watches/sunglasses?
There are two reasons for it. 
1. My Mom doesn't approve and while I am a grown woman, I choose to obey her, here
2. While, I wish to continue being informative and interesting regarding my fashion choices I need to find a balance where I do not feel I am 'showing-off'. This is my balance! However, if someone really needs to know something specific, I do not mind sharing it with them individually. 

When will I post pictures from my FAT-DAYS!
Soon. I promise. Back when I was FAT I didn't own a digital camera so I do not have a soft copy of many of them. And the few that I did own were lost when my laptop was stolen earlier this year. Like a fool, I didn't have a back up! However, there was this one I had posted several weeks back, here.

This is all I could remember from the couple of previous posts! If you do have any more questions, feel free to ask me and I will try and answer them [ ...as long as I think they are relevant. Fair enough, right? ;) ]

That looks good!!!
You were fat? You know I don't like that word!
I never tell the names of my watches either for the same reasons. You are so humble.... Rare woman.

SabinePsynopsis said... Best Blogger Tips

I'm glad you tackled the homesickness in your usual active spirit - by making the meal yourself! (I didn't even know there is something like 'flat rice'.) Wishing you a wonderful day, Tanvi!

I LOVE poha, made it sometime last week for a no fuss lunch, I like mine with a dash of lemon juice and green chutney! I love that you are a non squeamish vegetarian :)

I don't blame you for having a pity party,I've been in the same boat ever since I signed up to take the CPA exam:( That poha looks soooo good, haven't had some in the longest time, did you top it with some sev and lemon?!
I think it's very cute that you chose to listen to your mommy about not posting the labels of your bags-awww:))
