Snake Gourd - CHIKKI - Egg - Burji



When I started this blog, my second attempt in blogging, I had named myself - The Teflon Frypan. You know...the kinda surface, to which nothing sticks. Now dont get me wrong...its as far as my hobbies are concerned. Like to cook, click and to write. But the problem is ... its now kinda soo difficult to get all these three going on together.

 

With at present, more into clicks, for my fb page..its soo evident the neglect on my two blogs.

 

And feel really touched..and warm..when i get someone around enquiring...about my disappearance from here, really really appreciate it !!!

 

It was just about 2 months or so, that I was kinda away from here...but, it definitely seem like ages. Have a lot of catching up to do. Will try to drop by most of my dear co-blogger friends' place..

 

Akhi CHIKKI Laaki CHIKKI....CHIKKI...Laaki Chum...

Flew to India twice during this break..one to Delhi, and other back home to Kerala ..but both short visits..less than a week each.

Did a lot of sight seeing, shopping @India capital...caught up with old time schoolmates and family @home... was fun.

 

 

Bum CHIKKI CHIKKI Bum..CHIKKI bum bum...CHIKKI bum...

 

those of my generation will still cherish this soo hearty song
