Shifting and the never ending settling

foodpanda, just like that, online food ordering, personal, random thoughts, This and that

So we moved back to our old house (we know like to call it the new old house) about 1.5 months ago. From some basic interior and painting work starting about 2.5 months, life has been absolutely crazy. From doing a trip to the other part of the city everyday and sometimes even twice a day along with work that was at its peak, I had a crazy crazy time. Initially at the way the work was going, we were in big doubts on how will we ever move back this way but somehow we managed to move back. Painters and Carpenters still working and we moved it. Let me tell you DON’T EVER DO THAT πŸ˜‰

Phew we came from one disaster to another, the dust, the stress of managing so many people in the house. It was something. Finally those people have moved out of the house too (or so I think since there was a carpenter working in the house yesterday as well and I think a painter coming in today) but if you think my life would be easier now, my dear friends don’t be under an illusion.

Since we have moved back to the house, its been one disaster after another. The UPS stop working, the water motor gave up, the RO system got stuck, the gas hob wouldn’t light, the AC remote got lost and the latest and the biggest “The Water Mystery”

So since past 5 days, we are getting water tankers, pumping it from the sump to the overhand tanker and within about half an hour the tank is empty. Yes we get it indicates leakage somewhere but the issue. We can’t find the F&%*ing leakage. All the taps, bathrooms and other water outlets have been checked. We have even got a plumber who came and checked and said he is as clueless as us on what is happening. There is no seepage anywhere in the house to indicate an internal pipe leakage. Yes it’s a mystery yet to be solved, I just wish I had Cumberbatch to come and solve it for me

And in the midst of all this nonsense, food and cooking is the one which is taking the backseat. If we are getting food on table, I have two people to thank for. One my lovely househelp Sunita who is experimenting with recipes and cooking for us when we are in the middle of all nonsense and second is foodpanda, the online food ordering portal which has made my life easier. Quick and easy ordering which I have tried multiple times only to happy each time. They even have a android and iPhone app which makes the task of ordering even easier. God bless the people who think and come up which such ventures πŸ™‚

So people wish me luck in solving the mystery and send me Cumberbatch if you can πŸ˜‰

april fool, AtoZChallenge, fun, just like that

This morning I woke up totally forgetting about the date 1st April inspite of remembering its 1st of April.. Sounds funny eh? What I meant is that I remembered that today is 1st April but totally forgot about the April’s Fool Day , got up and went about the Monday morning bussiness as usual. Saw a friends post on her FB page saying

Get me maximum likes for Saffrontrail Facebook page from your friends and I will be your personal homechef for a week. Go ahead, share this-what are you waiting for?

And in my love for Tam bram food, I instantly shared it on my wall

And I am back

just like that

well hopefully πŸ™‚ Last 15 days have been terribly busy from a rocking all girls Goa trip (yes yes I know I have said that enough and I need to do an update, coming soon promise) to the house shifting.

And did I tell u guys that in the middle of shifting N had to go out of the city for some office conference and sigh I ended up managing the shifting all by myself πŸ˜‰ I think another point to be added in my gender sins

And when I started packing-unpacking I really couldn’t believe the amount of junk we collect over years, it’s actually very healing of letting go of the garbage…. but very very tiring and time-consuming

I have been busy truthfully speaking I have been very lazy too… I have tons to write but somehow I have a huge block and just can’t seem to write anything. even the urge to read is diminishing these days. I am hoping its just a phase and goes away soon… may be I will do a couple of tags floating around…

Somehow the zest of doing anything seems to be lacking in me these days, I delivered two orders and both were well recived and yet I am not somehow very excited 😦 and anyone who knows me knows how excited I am about birthdays… but currently the birtday is round the corner (on sunday infact) and I havent even seen if I need to buy a new dress for my birthday. May be its just the laziness after too many things have happened πŸ˜‰ hopefully I will be back to my regular self soon

So how have u guys been and whats up?

And I hope all of u have been praying for IHM’s daughter, those of u who have missed reading her post. Pls Pls Pls keep her in ur prayers.
