Puzzle 1001
I am on vacation. The pieces of the puzzle I am trying to solve are scattered on my formal dining table after a rigorous sort. The kettle fitted right in with the yellow and blue colors of the fish puzzle (that's the only reason its on this picture). The challenge with this puzzle is that, you do not have the big picture of how the finished puzzle will look like. I love a challenge, more so on a vacation.
Puzzles are great group activities. May be, I will invite in a friend or two for some tea and finish this puzzle up. Anybody interested?

Spring Break
I am looking forward to this weekend and the following week. The kids are out from school for Spring break. We (husband and I) are taking the whole week off. Nothing planned so far and we are hoping to put to use our spontaneity skills to some good use. Don't worry, I will keep you all updated.
A good friend from work is coming home this Friday to hang out with us and more importantly to taste some black tea (aka Indian Chai).
How is your week going? Do you have anything planned for the weekend?

Camouflaging Tummy - Baby or No Baby
Last Friday during our girls night out one of the gals suggested I write about how to camouflage baby tummy, wide waist, thick arms, thunder thighs and other lumps and bumps. So here it is, the first one in the series - Mid Section.
You probably figured out -
I know a few men read my blog, the only tip I can give you is to wear chunky sweaters like Rishi Kapoor used to back in the days. *wink**wink*.
You probably figured out -
- Not to wear tight pants (creates muffin tops) or tops or dresses that are tight in the mid section area.
- Avoid horizontal stripes
- Pencil skirts always work
- Pay attention to the length of the top and it is not necessary to wear tops as is. Pin your top at various lengths to see at what length your tummy is camouflaged. You just need to do this exercise once or twice and you will figure out the length that works for you. The length I prefer is mid waist. It takes about $8 to alter a top and is definitely the best bang for the buck. Add a fitted jacket for additional structure.
- Wrap blouses and faux wraps work perfectly when it comes to hiding the tummy as in the picture below.
- With the use of the right sized belt you can make your waist appear small. The key is to find the sweet spot. If you have had baby, most likely its the area above the tummy.
- Make the fitted shirt your best friend.
- Choose a focal area away from the tummy. It could be your pretty face, hair, embellished neck line, a statement necklace, gorgeous earrings, long leg line or sexy shoes.
- In the market, there are numerous tummy tucker pants available that work wonders in providing a smooth mid sections.Do give it a try.
- Add a chunky scarf as an accent piece and no one's really paying any attention to that tummy.
- Last but not the least, pay attention to your posture. With a little help from bad posture and ill fitted clothes, I can easily pull off looking like 3-5 months pregnant. Being conscious about your posture goes a long way.

Girls Night Out
I was looking forward to Friday all week long. A couple of friends from school and I decided to meet up for dinner and a movie. Good Italian food, Tiramisu for dessert, unlimited conversation and a movie is a fool-proof stress buster. Did I forget the pitcher of Sangria?
If you thought you saw it all with heroes fighting bad villains, politicians, rich father in laws and the likes to win lady love, you have not seen enough until you saw Matt Damon fight fate in the movie The Adjustment Bureau. I would have said, watch the movie to see how he does it. But the movie was so bad, I will stay away from recommending it. The only saving grace was the chemistry between Matt Damon and Emily Blunt.

Band or Choir
A few days ago, I received an email from the middle school my daughter will be attending to see if she is interested in joining their Band. I was super exited. Trust me, its not a big deal. In addition there was an invite to attend one of their performances.
I gave her the news. She showed the least interest and said the middle school Choir wanted her to join their team.
We attended the band performance and it was nothing less than spectacular. I tried hard not to influence her decision. Does it really matter, if she chooses an instrument over singing or the other way around? Lets see what she chooses.
