Mushroom has become a mandatory item for lunch on every weekend. Rarely we prepare non veg and rest all times its mushroom curry, with rasam/sambar. We will late lunch by around 3-4 pm on weekends.

I am very much fond of sarees. I believe any woman can look like an angel in a saree. When it comes to sarees, I love handloom cotton sarees the most. But for festivals and marriage it’s our tradition to wear silk sarees. My sister in law's marriage is nearing and I was checking out for a nice designer saree for her reception. That’s how I came to know about the utsavsarees through a India shopping website. They have a splendid collection of sarees, salwars, gagras etc. All are at reasonable rate.
