16 March 2021 Tuesday... Rashmi promoted to class X👍💐
My baby is now in Class X... Went to PTM, collected Class IX final assessment sheet and class X books. Took out this black and white saree and teamed with oxidised jhumkas gifted by Rashmika during her North India school trip. Posed one with Yellow Tennessee s flower pot in full bloom near at North entrance. Rashmi is jubiliant and licked up 🍰pastry, cookies and plum cake from Karachi bakery. Bumper to bumper traffic is very annoying but managed to come on time. Towards the evening chatted with Amma in the terrace and grabbed the opportunity to click pictures with her at Puja mandir ( same sky blue ikat fabric Amma's blouse and my kurta both from Abhihaara)😀 In the B&W saree picture clicked in children bed room, I somehow feel I resemble Tayaru akka.
Rashmi's day out...
Rashmi's farm visit on October 2020. With her braces on Rashmika looked cute in Herb Garden Tee (my little herb garden is my favourite place) and a Cap. She posed with the Jamoon trees

Took time Out to clean balconies and window sills, offered coconut and prayed🙏. Rashmi helped in decluttering I floor living room. Venky suggested fasting with fruits and sweet ( no salt & chilli powder). Dhaliya sweet halwa was tasty and less sugary. Teamed Magenta Tusshar silk saree with rani pink Ikat blouse and requested j ds to click pictures in the foyer garden and patio with hanging planters. Went out with akka to buy fruits in Polimeras. She bought a juicer and I decided to bring out my mixer from the loft👍 Mantra...Thick twice before you buy any gadget! Rashmi had lunch with Amma & tatha in silver plate. Menu Tomato 🍅 daal and 🥔 fry!
Farm visit 🌞 day morning 14 th March...Had a relaxed morning, enjoyed the drive with music, stopped to have idli and Harshil had paneer dosa. Harshil reluctantly clicked my pictures, stopped to watch some trees and he picked up spring onions. I smiled 🤣 contendedly. Harshil drove and reversed SUV for a while. stopped at Hill Ridge to give veggies to Vijay, he gave two big vegetable bags which are very handy. I was particularly awestruck by the thick bed of pudina ( mint), sea of onions and bunches of Frangipani, couldn't believe my eyes.
Yes, the spring air....
Beautiful weather! Home garden and farm are at their best. However, instead of enjoying I began to worry about the impending summer. Will there be enough water? What if borewell dries? Picked up Kusuma aunty and Doctor aunty from Gachibowli and drove down to farm. Snacked on onion samosas, had lunch, took nap, chatted, sipped milk 🥛 tea 🍵 walked to the vegetable 🍅 ( onions and pototoes with sprinklers on) looked lovely, everyone admired the scarecrow crafted by Nani, captured gliricidia blooms and packed veggies, greenies, bettle and plaintain leaves to the brim. Helped them walk back, clicked few picks with desi-cows, ate poha and had 🍋 and 🍯 tea. This 14 th February was even more special as my son turned 18. Happy and scared too as 18 is legal for many things. Enjoyed capturing pictures of red flowers... anthurium, pointsettia, rose 🌹 bush, salvia ( from Shilparamam) besides the Butterscotch Alomond Icecream ...
