Our watchman Raju and his wife Tanya are a very sweet young couple. They are from Orissa. Raju speaks Hindi and Tanya speaks Hindi and Good English. They were expecting a baby when I arrived in Hyderabad so we took some family photos for their…
As we normally have big lunch at home, I try to pack non carbohydrates dinner box for Sunil. But I won’t know if he eats something extra at work or not. 🙂 お昼にいつもかなり食べるので、夕飯はタンパク質をできるだけとらないお弁当にしてあげる。でも、ス二ルが仕事場で、ついつい何か買って食べてしまっているのかどうかは、私に分る術はないのであった。（笑

When I saw little clay pots are used for putting sweets in our local sweet shop “Sweet Basket”, I had an idea to put all my spices in small cray pots. It looks pretty and also it is environmental friendly. When we leave Hyderabad, we…
