Lunch Boxes At School/College

Many years I did not carry lunch box to school as I always felt it was wasting precious time...
Playing desk cricket was more important than eating...

Later with morning school, there was no option but to have your first meal at school...

Here are the favourite recipes I used to have for school/college recess...

1. Phodnichi Poli
2. Cutlets
3. Upma
4. Neeru Dosa ( I loved them the most. Made by my dear friend Shobha's mother)
5. Pithla Poli
6. Poli and Bhendi Bhaji
7. Tomato bhaji and Poli (Made by my dera friend Ruchira's mother) 
8. Murmuryacha Chivda (made by my sweet friend Reena's mother) 
9. khottu - Idli in Jackfruit leaves. (Made by my dear friend Shobha's mother)  
10. Sandwiches
11. Misal paav at Somaiya canteen.

Wow...

A morning to remember

It was quite a chilly Sunday morning... deep in the woods of Sanjay Gandhi National Park....

Trekked with my father...  worth it...
watched birds.... Observed trees... Admired the blissful lake...
Thanked the forest department for preserving the green patch...

Clicked photos... Loved the cottage with Warli painting....
Spoke to strangers and was happy to connect...

It was a morning which  was special to me...
It was a morning celebrated in a special way....
With mother in my heart and father besides me...

The woods lovely dark and deep made me realise....
I have promises to keep
and miles to go before I sleep....
