Healthy Chapathis, anyone?

How was today. Didn't study half as much as I should have.
My yoga instructor didn't let me do Surya Namaskar and says I can't do any for at least 10 days. Grrrrrrr.
I found a local "Wheat Flour Grinder" who is famous in the area. And my mom gave me a list of pulses/food grains that can be added to make really healthy chapathis - other than the wheat itself of course.
I learnt the English names of all those items:
Jowar: Sorghum/Milo.
Bajra : Millet.
Alasandalu : Black Eyed Peas.
Senegapappu : Bengal Gram Dal.
Raagulu : Finger Millet.
And Soya!
Mix all these into wheat get it grinded/powdered at the mill. And voila , you have amazingly healthy chapathis.

Turns out even stuff like Horlicks has wheat and stuff. I so did not know that.

Here's to learning things you don't know about ! And here's to healthy eating :)

How To Become a Housewife!

In just a few simple steps: -

1) Finally accept the fact that your job isn't letting you be all the you can be.  Deliberate for a few months. Talk about finances, future, health - and even if there are doubts and you know you want to try to make a new life for yourself. Quit. Put in your papers, finish all the KTs, enjoy the cubicle camaraderie, take a last look and let go !

2) Find out what you actually like doing and go for it. Nothing to stop you now.

3) Recollect all the things you ever heard or knew about housewives and you will see that they are all true. You will find you have more time to cook, try out lots of recipes, heck even pack a lunch box for hubby !
You will want to make sure your house looks spic and span.
You see yourself wasting away in front of the tv if you are not careful.
Whatever you do, DO NOT sit at home all day, it will drive you stark raving mad . 4 walls , Internet and TV and an active mind suddenly left free are a terrible combination.

4)  Make sure your hubby is one AWESOME dude.
 Who's gonna understand that you are going to be really frustrated occasionally.
Who's gonna make sure you don't worry about anything that has to do with not having a job.

5) Get used to telling people "I am a housewife". It's a lot harder than you realize.

A Good Habit A Day ..

It seems if you do anything for 21 days continuously, it becomes a habit. I intend to put that to test. Starting today, I am going to start a couple of things and try to keep it up for as long as I can (21 days for sure).

1) Yoga. Signed up for a class today and am going to be doing Surya Namaskars, Joint rotations, Kapal Bhati and what nots. First class down.

2) Write. I have been so busy with crafts that I haven't really written in forever. I know, I know, look at the date of the last entry in this blog.
