When life gives you vegetables, just make a colourful salad out of them. Just kidding, this salad tastes yum and favourite of my husband. 🙂
Easy to make, dice everything you want to put, I mean your chosen veggies, some black salt, red chilli podwer and a generous amount of lemon juice. That's it! Enjoy the magic.

So, 2025 was a year with loads of calmness and gratitude in my heart. The year was full of little surprises for me, and I chose to go with the flow.

Last year, I had taken loads of good rest and priotrised my health both mental and physical. I gave time to myself and enjoyed doing nothing on many occasions. From nothing, I mean not doing anything much at my work because I have cut down the chase, or become competitive of anything or anyone to be precise.

I was in the moment and let universe guide me through. But yes, it brought many good things too on various occassions. I participated in some Open Mics and enjoyed them thoroughly. I got invited to a Podcast, I completed 50 episodes of my Virtual Podcast Monalisa's Talk Show. I discovered this new hobby of making Visual Poetry Art and one of the pieces now adorns one of our bedrooms.

I hosted many dinner Pop-ups for my family, friends and Salon Staff members. Didn't know I could churn out so many delicious recipes in three hours of time. Found out this newer confident side of me, cheers to that! By the end of the year I had started baking cakes so well. For me baking had always been a rocket science, but now each cake comes out so well. Basically, I was able to overcome this fear of mine and I am super happy for that.

This New Year, I will be doing and trying newer things for sure, but one thing that I will always prioritise is keeping myself healthy and calm in the process. Godspeed 🙏

May the year 2026 brings joy and good health to you as well in abundance.

In this pic I am with the latest book #songsofmodernmatriarchs from my Publishing House.

When Christmas seeped in early for us at our Salon. It was again my friend Shakshi's idea to have some fun while decorating the tree, along with the staff girls. We easily find occasions and reasons to celebrate anything or everything.

It's wedding season of course! But I couldn't decide after getting my nails done, whether they are pretty or the cover page of my book! You tell me, please... 😊
Book is available from the link below, but nails; you surely gotta a visit a Salon. 🤭

They both knew it, that they didn't want to part from each other. Such were the feelings igniting within their hearts, but who were to bring it first. Sujit did it; he could not afford to lose Moina anymore. He said in a pleading tone, "Don't go Moina...don't leave me this time."

She immediately stood and went closer to the figure. Seeing Sujit standing in front of her, her eyes widened in complete shock. "You! How did you know I was here? Are you following me, Mister?" She enquired grumpily.
"Sujit...call me Sujit." He said with a lopsided smile.

We went for a Dhaba day outing yesterday, and had some fun chit-chat along with the food. I love #dhabafood sometimes, it's an enjoyable indulgence I would say.
