Its the final week leading into my faviourite times of the year.  Its Christmas time.  I love the feeling.  Wish i was back home to the cold, wintery temperatures of Hyderabad.  Not to forget the warm cakes, appams, chicken stew and other eatables, the christmas trees, the star in front of the house, the singing of carols….

Put up the Christmas tree at home quite early this time.

Happy Holidays

Wishing all of you and your loved ones a very Happy & Prosperous Onam.

Though am back in Singapore and have no chance of celebrating Onam at home with friends and family, i had the opportunity to have an early Onam lunch.  Mum made sure to make parippu, avial, thoran, sambar, pappadam, injicurry, pachadi and rice payasam for us last week itself.

Back at work after a 2 week hectic trip to Hyderabad.  Had no chance to meet any friends in person and even call them up.  Am sure most would be angry and disappointed with me.  I promise to make it up on my next trip home

Will be back in Singapore on 22nd August.

Meanwhile, hearty National Day wishes to everyone in Singapore and Independence Day wishes to everyone in India.

Hope to have lots of Haleem this time around.   Yay Hyderabad, here i come.

Its a hat-trick of wins for Saina Nehwal.  After the Indian Open and the Singaporean Open, the defending champion Saina has won the Indonesian Open again in Jakarta.  True, the top seeded Chinese were not in the draw, but it doesnt take the sheen away from the wins of the World’s 3rd ranking player.

Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal continued her rampaging form as she completed a spectacular hat-trick of titles by clinching the Indonesia Open Super Series with a three-game triumph over Japan’s Sayaka Sato on Sunday.

Unbeaten for the past three weeks, the top seeded defending champion defeated her unseeded but resolute rival 21-19, 13-21, 21-11 in a rollercoaster encounter that lasted 45 minutes.

This was Saina’s third successive title, having won the Indian Open Grand Prix at home and the Singapore Open Super Series Tournament last week. This is also the 20-year-old world number three’s third Super Series title overall.
