    Hi friends,

    Could not post from many days, since it is vacation period here, most of my team members are on leave and lot of work at office. At home last week being gowri and ganesha festivals, had to visit temple and friends house for dinner invitations, DD's school and regular home activities.

    Dear Vijikrishna,

    congrats on completing your Japanese language course, I can understand how hard it must be, since I am also learning German here.

    Today made beans sambar and rice for lunch and BF was bread. Came home at 5PM and cooked bhendi gojju and semebadanekayi sambar. Teaching DD her homework and now to have dinner and sleep.

    Hi Chulbuli and Vijkirsha,

    Welcome to this thread :)

    Hi Anu,
    Welcome back :)

    Hi Priya, Mahe, Shara, and everyone else,

    I have been MIA for sometime now, had a bit of health issues, which are slowly getting resolved. The general cleaning had taken a backseat for a while and I restarted only this week.

    For ganesh chathurti, I made my ganesha with wheat flour and painted with water and acrylic colors. It turned out really well. I have posted the pics here.

    Both my DDs enjoyed the whole process of making and painting it. It was absolute fun :)

    This week I cleaned and organized my and both DDs wardrobes. Coming weekend planning to do DHs.

    Hi friends,

    Its been a couple of days since I posted, sorry, been so busy these days. My updates from weekend until today:

    Saturday:
    There was Ganesha chathurthi celebrations planned in Frankfurt and we went there,had a good puja, met all friends, had prasadam and DD insisted on going to one of her friends house from there along with them directly. Since we were meeting anyway for sendoff dinner for another common friend, we sent her. Evening had the send off party, and came home very late,DD was complaining of throat pain already.:confused2:

    Sunday:

    Morning woke up late, cleaners had come, prepared lunch and DD started getting fever, gave her calpol and salt and hot water to gargle for her throat.:drowning Washed a batch of clothes, prepared Idli batter, Ironed clothes and watched serial and helped DD for homework.

    Monday:

    Since I was working from home, and temp had come down for DD, sent her to school but she called me at lunch break and said she was unwell,:-( went to pick her, and called doctor for appointment, but it was full, so went to pharmacy and bought Paracetamol and gave her and fed her lunch and she slept for 2 hours. Evening, again it seemed to increase, so prepared khasaya(milk, turmeric, dhaniya, pepper and cinnamon). Thank god it worked and she was feeling better. Fed her dinner and again gave her half glass khasaya and she slept well.

    Tuesday:

    DH suggested that DD should take rest at home and he offered to work from home. So morning woke up at 6:30 AM and prepared Idli and coconut chutney for BF and Khichdi for lunch and packed the same for me and came to office. DD called me several time from home to update me on her status :) . Left office at 4 and picked up some essential stuff for home and reached home at 5:30. DH gave me coffee and I was relieved to see DD back to normal. Prepared cucumber sambar and had dinner and slept early.

    Today:

    Woke up at 6:30 AM, prepared Vangibath for lunch and bread and juice for BF. Gave DD chocos and khasaya again and she went to school. :thumbsupCame to office at 8:45. Completed the urgent work and now having coffee and browsing IL for sometime.
