Chicken Biryani:)
Yesterday , I had friends coming over and i had to cook. The only dish that i could think of was Chicken Biryani. I love the hydrabadi one....but my husband likes the chennai style....Oh well we love biryani and Chicken Biryani was on the list!!!
Thanks to my husband i have a laptop now. I could get the recipie from one of my fav cousins!!!
The Biryani turned out amazing:)) As i was cooking my husband couldnt stop telling me how good it smelled.
He couldnt resist and while i was waiting for it to be cooked he quickly opened the pan and grabed a little. He had food in his mouth and all he did was show me his thumb. I was happy !!! It brought a big smile on my face ...It was worth all my efforts!!!

Changes
Life is changing so quickly. Gone are those days where i would party till early mornings, eat junk ..fish and chips ...soho road parathas!! I feel everything including how i look and feel have changed. I am changin... i think of life differently , my priorities have changed , love, work, family all have different meaning in my life now.
I have a companion , someone i love ....he is different and i learn a lot from him.
change is important they say ..... Will be able to cope with so much change? I wonder...time will tell.
