Get Well Soon PA

15 May

You must have notice the absence of The Awesome Sisters since a couple of days. Its a tough time for us as PA (resides in Sydney – Australia) met with an accident and had to undergo surgery. Her neck, chin, lips are injured and her left arm is fractured and had to be operated and plates are placed inside it. Moreover, she’s under trauma as she keeps getting the visuals of the accident in her mind and is scared of roads and cars.

She is in my prayers every single moment. Please pray for her quick recovery so that she can overcome the trauma and pain. Wish her ‘Get Well Soon’ by tagging yourself here. Your love and support will boost her willpower and she will soon bounce back.

What is Dance for you?

3 May

What brings you happiness – a feel-good factor?

What is that thing that ignites a fire in you,

yet gives your soul that soothing and calm feeling?

For me – Its DANCE. It was my first realization of contentment, passion and happiness. I remember the joy that I got from dancing to ‘Mere Haathon Mein Nau Nau‘ (Bollywood song) when I was a little girl. There was so much to learn from Bollywood then. These days actresses take a week training and they think they can be our inspiration. (There is lot involved than just moving the body)

My passion for dance yearned for knowledge of the art and I started learning Bharatnatyam, followed by Kathak, Hip-Hop, Jive, Contemporary, Bachata and Salsa. Dance is like a sea and I have just accumulated just a few drops.

Besides the feel-good factor, there is a lot Dance offers you. It touches and benefits every aspect.

Body: Dance helps you stay fit and young forever. It lubricated joints and makes bones strong. It is the best way to burn calories and stay in shape. It strengthens muscles and teaches us the art of balance.

Mind: Dance improves our memory by making us recall steps, routines and dance patterns. This acts as a mental exercise which keeps us your mind quick and alert. Moreover it strengthens our reflexes and keeps the mind and body well-coordinated.

Skin: More than facials and beauty products, it is perspiration that cleanses the skin naturally. Dance helps you to achieve this too.

Social: Dance is recreational and has no cultural barriers. Helps you socialize and make friends.

Happy Self: Dance therapy helps people overcome stress and depressions. Dance boosts self-esteem. It makes you feel and embrace your emotions.

“Dance is the hidden language of the soul.”

Get Grill’d

18 Apr

We were walking around the streets of Parramatta – Sydney and spotted this new eating joint called – Grill’d Healthy Burgers. We checked out their menu and voilà – they had lamb burgers on it! The hubster is always up for a good Lamb Burger.

Oh, they seem to have 100% grass-fed lamb, and that too lean, he tells PA excitedly. Let’s go for it baby, she says. Well, the good wife that she is, she always supports him in his foodie excursions :P

The hubster goes for the Baa Baa Lamb Burger ($12.90) – Grilled 100% grass-fed lean lamb, tasty cheese, salad, relish and herbed mayo

PA opted for the Lamb Burger with Goat Cheese and Hummus ($13.50) – Grilled 100% grass fed lean lamb, Meredith Dairy Goats Cheese, chermoula hummus and salad. PA is a huge fan of Goat Cheese :P

And we also ordered for the Hot Chips ($4.50) with Herbed Mayo. PA always prefers her chips with mayo, instead of tomato ketchup. The hubster, on the other hand, like a true Aussie likes everything with a dose of tomato ketchup.

And then… we waited. Will their Lamb Burgers pass the Hubster’s Test? He can separate wheat from the chaff, he can dissect flavours in a microsecond, this masterchef can tell a good burger when he has one!

The verdict: The Hubster loved the burgers. They certainly lived up to their name – Grill’d ‘Healthy’ Burgers!
