Tagging this post to Ragtag Daily’s Friday Prompt : Achievement
Recently I bought a shirt on Amazon. In fact, having lost a lot of weight last year and now regaining again I was not sure of my current size. However, the top fits me but being used to wearing loose fittings, the right size feels tight. But I decided to keep it as a benchmark for losing more weight so that I am comfortable in it. Howzzzat!! 😂😂

Gotta radio. Yeah, you heard me right. As I play it I am transported to my childhood. At the fag end of life, the only excitement is in recreating the past.

To cope with the recent LPG crisis got an Induction Cooking System with a compatible Prestige Pressure Cooker for self and Didi. Made aaloo-chholiya , boiled channa and green papaya curry. All successfully cooked and eaten but the taste seems different. Call it psychological.
Didi is efficiently utilising her Air Fryer. Two nights back it was saboo dana tikki to commemorate Nav Ratri. The night next it was hara bhara or green kebaab. And then the cherry on the top – came the taco. All were extremely well made. I have given her the title of Kebaab Queen of the family, following her culinary achievements.

Though I blog through the Jetpack App, at times I visit the site on my laptop to screen the comments on spam. Lately, got such sweet , flowery messages of appreciation – location unknown. Deleted them right away. But I guess I am becoming famous. That’s another way of looking at AI intrusion.
***
I see a decrease in the number of my subscribers. I wonder what they were expecting from my posts. Anyway, those stay are my niche readers. A heartfelt thank you and God bless to all of them.

However, my daily stats are dwindling. And it’s in red. That means I need to engage more. But with all the other priorities – house work, readings, exercises, walks, family time and other leisure activities – I can only carve out this much time for WP.
That said, I think am not reading as many posts of my co-bloggers as I should. So I guess off and on I am going to play truant…stop posting and read more. Though, my intent and effort will be to do both.

My garden does not have many flowering plants. It’s hard to maintain them. I have more green foliage. This and yesterday morning I caught on camera the fresh greens coming up on old branches. They look so shiny and velvety. Have a look.
So simple, so real… quietly beautiful 🌿😊
Felt like sitting and listening to you talk… loved every bit of it 💛

You can’t because they are being manipulated by the bots. They like your posts, follow the blog but mostly they don’t comment on it. So I guess the comments can show the real picture

Oh 😳
So the Top Experiment is फालतु में टाइम खराब किया !!
But the cookery shows flaunt Induction Cooking Systems !!!
No, Air Fryer is good Nusrat. Maybe not for Indian cooking. Less oil mein fried stuff…
रेडियो पर कल रात ग़ज़ल सुनी। आह!! मज़ा आ गया।
These young leaves made my day…
Thanks Nusrat for the appreciation.

My Mum also mentioned about induction cooking system today. Just in case if no LPG cylinder is available on time.
The people in induction cooking system business must have been enjoying high sales these days 😁.
I don’t have air fryer but many of my friends use it on daily basis and they are happy. Even one of my friends showed us pani-puri puris made in air frier.
Lovely pothos leaves.

Price has gone up with shortage of supply. Air Fryer is good. Yes, I have heard puris can also be made in it.
Thank you for the photos.
