#ad Being born and raised in India (where food is an integral part of the culture) and spending the past decade in the US, just like chef Marcus Samuelsson, food to me has always told a deeper and more personal story. It is a path to culture, identity, and history, and as someone who loves to travel, the #1 thing on our itinerary is always FOOD! This time around on our recent trip to New York City we indulged in Mexican (think vibrant colors and a variety of flavors) deliciousness with a twist! And in celebration of the new season of No Passport Required, I am so excited to join chef Marcus in my own exploration and celebration of discovering the wide-ranging traditions and diverse cuisines woven into American food and culture. Tune into @PBS Monday at 9/8c or stream No Passport Required on the PBS Video app! @MarcusCooks #NoPassRequiredPBS

Happy (belated) Makara Shankranthi, Pongal and Lohri to all who celebrate (and are still celebrating)! ✨ This is our first festival of the year & I had full intentions of celebrating it, as closely as possible to how we celebrated back home in India when I was a kid. But, it so happened that I couldn't even so much as shower on the day of the festival. I have been down with Flu the last couple of days, woke up with terrible cold chills the other night & none of these medicines seem to help 🤷🏻‍♀️ All this while the little one is still sick, & we are all stuck at home thanks to the snow, day 4 & counting 😢
.
The hubs (between his day packed with back to back meetings) & I (between whatever the heck is happening with me and work that I finally had to put off) are taking turns looking after our little one. A wants to snuggle with me (while he showers equal amount of love on both dada and mama at other times becomes extremely partial and wants to be clingy and with me when sick) and I have to be stern with him and say no (cuz he doesn't understand why mama can't cuddle or kiss him, breaks my mama heart) 💔
.
So, yesterday I finally turned on my OOO after I got an earful from the hubs, 'you put your body through so much the last several months that it is craving for rest, you need to give it that, be ok with not working for a few days until you recover. Work will pile up, yes, but you can't go on like this'. I can't even go see a doc because we can't even make it past our driveway. I officially hate snow in PNW (this side of the country is not one bit prepared for snow-life, everything comes to a stand still with just a few inches of snow)! ❄️ ❌
.
And did I mention that our washing machine isn't working since we got back from vacay, had to get someone to take a look this week but that ain't happening until this snow melts 😥 Now there's at least 3 rounds of laundry to do. All of this while I did everything over the weekend to ensure we had a smooth-sailing week! Oh well, some weeks just kick your behind! 😤
.
But we won't give in, will celebrate once we recover, for now throwback to our little one's first Shankranthi, one that will always be dear to my heart 💞

Sleigh all day, every day! ✨ Spent the weekend trying to get back into routine after our vacay, took down all my Christmas decorations and put them away (kinda miss it already but also excited to decorate for the current season)🎄💞 Vinay and I also spent a couple of hours putting our goals down on paper (as I mentioned last week) and discussing how to improve our lifestyle, find a balance, grow, excel, and reach our goals ✅ Plus, set up some furniture (long overdue!) 💃🏻 My monstrous pantry organized (among other things), woot woot (we have a long way to go but I am tackling one corner at a time) ⏳ Meal prepped for the week 😋 Baby boy fell sick (again!) ☹️ now we are snowed in ❄️ ⛄️ The quality of this photo on the phone as opposed to how it looks on the computer is night and day, but I had to share cuz it reflects my mood! 🤷🏻‍♀️ On that note, happy new week ✨

You might not believe it, but it’s true... When you truly, deeply, subconsciously wish for something it is bound to happen, even against all odds!!! 🎉 If all of this sounds like a riddle to you then stay tuned for my blog post (will be live next week) 🤩 Spent the New Years (and 2 full weeks during the holidays) back with some of our favorite people on the east coast, and being tourists in our fave city. When it comes to the holidays no one does it quite like New York!!🎄🗽🌃 Needless to say, we all had a total blast, and our little one was showered with lots and lotsa love. So blessed to have such amazing humans in our lives! 🥰 A piece of our hearts will always remain in NYC 🌉💞 Sharing a sneak peek of our vacay over on stories 😻

NEW YEAR BETTER ME 🥳 First official day of 2020 for me (after a 2 week vacay) and I am super pumped for the year 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ Over the last couple of weeks, I spent an ample amount of time reflecting upon 2019 - what worked, what didn't work, what I could have done better, what I dropped the ball on, etc, etc... And to be honest, my goals and aspirations for 2020 (the core of it) largely remains the same as 2019, except, to make them several times bigger and better, and this past year definitely laid a good foundation for that! ✅ I will be spending time this week to put things down on paper to formalize my goals for 2020 and will give you a peek into some of them. In the meantime, go to 'Tips' story highlights to see how I utilize them to keep a tab on my goals throughout the year 👊🏼
.
PRO TIP: While I highly recommend that you set realistic goals for yourself, start small (maybe with 3-5 goals) and don't overwhelm yourself! Start by thinking what would make you happy and feel accomplished when you look back at 2020 and work backwards! January isn't the only time when you should do this, it is a work in progress, keep a tab on your progress and adjust as many times as needed. Nobody knows what the year holds, but we can only work hard towards what we want it to look like! Here’s wishing that 2020 is the best year yet 🎉👍🏼

Happy New Year & New Decade! 🎉 The only (best) pic we have of the 3 of us from the New Year's Eve party! 📷 One of us was half dressed up, one of us was having way too much fun and didn't want to change into the New Year outfit, and one of us was dancing non-stop that the outfit wouldn't stay put, now go figure who is who!? 🤪 Nonetheless, all of us had a blast ringing in the New Year and Decade with our friends like family, and are continuing to party it up in the New Year by being tourists and spending quality time with our favorite peeps! 🥳✨🥰 Work, Social Media, and everything else in between can wait until next week, right!? 💞 #UnofficialBreak #HolidayMood Hope you all are having a great start to the year, here's to your best year yet! 🎆🥂
