These toys have taught me lessons as a parent that I wouldn't have practiced otherwise.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">🧸 Best part of open ended toys is no set up is required. These toys dont have any batteries, they dont light up or make any noise. These types of toys allow the child be the explorer and make the play happen. There is no right or wrong way to play with these toys. It is completely on your child's imagination.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">🍴The hardest thing for me is to be patient and not interrupt Krish's play and provide him direction while he is playing with his regular toys where certain things need to be done in a certain way. The most important lesson these open ended toys taught me is to TRUST that he can direct his own play.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">🧸 Sometimes all we need to really do is take a step back and observe our kids without interjection. Trusting them that they are perfectly capable of deciding and directing their own play and learning.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">🍴It needs patience and is very hard, but it is definitely worth the end results.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">🧸 I gave Krish these masking tapes and didnt tell him what to do. I took a back seat and observed him come up with 3-4 different ways he was involved with them and busy for quite sometime.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">🍴This is the probably the reason why kitchen utensils are all kids favorite at some point during their toddlerhood. Because they are open ended and kids figure out numerous unique ways to play with them.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">🧸 Share what open ended toys/things you have tried with your little ones and give me more ideas to try with Krish.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">💜 Thanks to Sejal from </span><a class="notranslate" href="https://www.instagram.com/sageness/" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" tabindex="0">@sageness</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> who gave me this inspiration of not interrupting Krish while playing and letting him direct his own play.</span><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUTrHQnSreUKlYDWtfrRdtbO1Y2o_L-9YVdADUrHIMbtTGDdJ5lltxT3o5mzg3fNnpt4yR8LqYy1KaveseYXqt2rA9LobTXnEiK_FdaNyS0BEmLVuQgKeiLaxUaFAH6jxnxOly38CAwk4N/s4032/IMG_2475.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUTrHQnSreUKlYDWtfrRdtbO1Y2o_L-9YVdADUrHIMbtTGDdJ5lltxT3o5mzg3fNnpt4yR8LqYy1KaveseYXqt2rA9LobTXnEiK_FdaNyS0BEmLVuQgKeiLaxUaFAH6jxnxOly38CAwk4N/s320/IMG_2475.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>Jayahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16203422141218956109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9184169990598961693.post-82796436124855695742020-06-26T15:55:00.002-07:002020-06-26T15:56:01.510-07:00Courage is Contagious!<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">🌟Courage is contagious.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">🌟Today, I took courage to post about my dad whom I have never talk about here.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chicago has been on our places to visit from last 3 years but unfortunately we have never been able to plan a trip to Chicago. This time in March, my hubby had to visit Groupon headquarters for work for 2 days and I decided to grab that opportunity to tag along and explore the beautiful city of sky scrappers :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chicago has lot of great things to-do but ours was a short trip, so we decided to explore some of the top ones :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before we get into the details, here are some fun facts about Chicago:</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Chicago is also called the Windy City.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The ‘Historic Route 66’ begins in Chicago.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The first Ferris Wheel made its debut in Chicago. Today, Navy Pier is home to a 15-story ferris wheel.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower) is the tallest building in the western hemisphere.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The Willis tower elevators are amongst the fastest in the world operating as fast as 1600 feet per minute.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Four states are visible from the top of the Willis Tower (Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Chicago’s downtown is called "The Loop"</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
After our quick research, we found buying <u>Chicago Explorer Pass</u> worth buying to see some of the attractions in Chicago. It gives you an option to choose 3, 4 or 5 attractions from a list of 25. For more details, visit their website <a href="http://www.smartdestinations.com/chicago-attractions-and-tours/_d_Chi-p1.html?pass=Chi_Prod_Exp&allInc=true" target="_blank">here</a>. We got it from Costco at 76$ per person. Turns out to be a great deal!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Hotel and Car rental:</u> Unless you plan to do a road trip away from the city, you wont need a car. For hotels, I would definitely encourage you to stay close or in the loop (downtown). If you are in the downtown, you don’t really need any car rental. We mostly used Uber for our commute. It is pretty easy and convenient way to get around in the city. You could also use subway trains. </div>

In its mirror-like surface, you will not only see your own reflection but also the downtown skyline. Give at least an hour to go around the park and see the sculptures in the park. </li>

The observation deck is also a home of the thrilling and exhilarating TILT experience - an enclosed moving platform that literally tilts you out and over the edge at 30 degrees of the John Hancock building. (Not included in the explorer pass but it is just $8 per person) And believe me, it was an adrenaline rush experience!</li>

Be prepared to have a wait time of atleast 1 hour here. We arrived early in the morning but had to wait for an hour before we can get to the top of this building. The magnificent views of the city from the top (103rd floor) will make the wait all worth it. If you are brave enough, you can also step out on “The Ledge”, the all glass balcony that extends four feet from the building’s edge out into space.</li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
In
2016, my hubs and I wanted to do something good and noble. After some
thoughts, we started to bake cakes for friends, family and in return, would
ask them to donate money towards any cause that they would want to support. To read more about that click - <a href="http://beingdhriti.blogspot.com/2016/04/baking-for-charity.html">http://beingdhriti.blogspot.com/2016/04/baking-for-charity.html</a>
Both of us were in full form when we started this. With full-time job, it was pretty hectic but as Manoj’s mom was here, we got her in our baking regime and hence it became manageable :)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Later
that month, I signed up all three of us to Asha Spring run (5k) which was
happening on April 10, 2016. I was super excited because we had our mom running
with us. How cool is that? She is a woman of courage and dedication and she
happily agreed to join us for the run, which made me ecstatic. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The Asha
Spring run was very well organized, had high energy vibes and consisted of lot
of health-aware people. The best part of the run was it was our’s mom first 5k
and she was feeling full of energy even after the run. It was due to the energy
from the people around us. Also this is the first time Manoj’s mom was visiting
us after our marriage. We had a great family bonding time as a result of this
event <span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span> Second
best thing was the amazing food – Yummy hot khichdi with bagel and cream-cheese
is all you need after your run and Team Asha had got us covered!!!<o:p></o:p></div>

I was very inspired
with the coaches speech about how important it is to be aware of your own
health, take care of it, do it the right way and at the same time do good for
the society specially by educating the under-privileged kids in India. Team
Asha is a volunteer-driven charity organization that provides marathon, biking
and triathlon training program and help people to realize their fitness goals.
They work to bring socio-economic change in India through education of the
under privileged children. I could immediately align it with my goal of doing
‘something’ for the society and playing a little part to make our country a
better place to live in. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
After
the run, they announced Team Asha is holding a brief information session about
various programs they provide trainings for. I immediately registered for it.
After a few days, I attended this session and got adrenaline rushed and wanted
to immediately go out for a run. (Yes this is true!)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Generally, I get this rush after hearing
Narendra Modi’s speech and want to get out of the chair/sofa and just do
something but I have no idea what? In this case I knew what I wanted to do <span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span> Listening to all the
coaches and the volunteers share their personal experiences about themselves starting from ground zero I felt as if it was all do-able. Although somewhere in
my heart I was questioning myself if I would be able to do it (a full marathon).
I was debating if I should sign up for half or full marathon. By the end of
this session, I had made up my mind that I want to get up and just do it.
Without trying I wont even know if it was possible. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After consulting coach Naresh, the plan laid
out for me was to do a half marathon in season 1 and target a full marathon by the end of season
2. This day is when my journey began!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
running program started with a lot of things like splitting all the Asha
runners in separate smaller groups based on their preference of best-suited
location and time for the runs, assigning them to different google groups and
mentors, setting up fund-raising stories for ourselves, shoe-clinic, fund-raising
clinic, setting up week’s running schedule, track and hill training
schedule, shopping for the right shoes, fuel belts, foam-roller, tracker and endless number of other things. The execution of this was so smooth that
I didn’t realize the transition from not doing any of these to doing all of
these. I realize I did so much in the year 2016 when I retrospect 2016 today! <o:p></o:p></div>

Day
after day, week after week there was so much to learn from all the coaches and
mentors in Asha Program. Quoting coach Rajeev -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fitness should be one’s habit and not a hobby</i></b>” and I could see
myself getting into that rhythm slowly and gradually. Recently I attended Shark
Daymond John’s information session about Growing and Starting Successful
Businesses, where he talked about how a human’s body and mind gets programmed
to think and act in the direction what their companions are talking about. I could
immediately co-relate it with my experience with Team Asha and how it
programmed me to think and act differently. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Journey
with Team Asha had been amazing that I still cannot forget the kind of care and
support our coaches, mentors and co-ords showered upon us. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be it guiding us with the running techniques like
run-walk method to right running postures to answer any questions regarding
women, periods and running. The reminder email coming out on weekdays at 4:30
PM from our mentors to have a light snack would actually bring tears to my eyes
:’( So much care? I used to miss mom and dad
during that time. Team Asha had covered all aspects of training. <span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Jaya%20Wadhwani" datetime="2017-01-22T14:25"><o:p></o:p></ins></span></div>

One
of the roles each Asha runner plays is that of a fund-raiser. Every one who
signs up for Asha program has to raise 900$ in around six months for education of the
under-privileged kids in India. When the Asha program started we received
guidance on ways how to raise funds. My ride for fund-raising (FR) had been pretty easy. I combined it
with my “<a href="http://beingdhriti.blogspot.com/2016/04/baking-for-charity.html" target="_blank">Bake for charity</a>” idea and was able to raise $1681 in the three months. I would like to thank all the donors from the bottom of my heart to
stand by me towards educating the under-privileged kids in India. <o:p></o:p></div>

Unfortunately
(yes, there is an unfortunate part in this journey as well) on 4<sup>th</sup>
of July, on my way back to California from a family trip to Canada, I twisted
my ankle, lost control and fell on my leg. Upon getting an x-ray, doctors found
out that it was a fracture with a minor ligament tear. Doctors suggested me to
focus on a 12 week recovery program. From a running program, I was on a
recovery program; <span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">L</span></span>
I started missing my runs and so I immediately emailed the coaches about what
had happened. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My coaches responded with
all the tips and tricks to help my ankle heal properly. All of them
concentrated on the fact not to hurry and give the ankle its time to heal
completely. <o:p></o:p></div>

During
this inactive time of my running journey, I was still an integrated part of
Team Asha as the mentors and my running buddies would keep checking on me and progress
of my sprained ankle. I helped tracking bibs of runners for the SF marathon. I felt
a different kind of high that day. I wanted to quickly come out of that sofa and
stop watching and fearing “Winter is coming” and get back to running as soon as
I can. I started physical therapy routine and continued till I gained the full
range of motion. By the time I fully recovered, our plan for India was right
around the corner. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last month in december, California was starting to get chilly and both of us were so tired of our hectic work schedule during thanksgiving as we both work for the eCommerce giants! So we decided to slice out a custom long weekend and go to a nice warm beach destination. Beach vacations are our favorite :) We really wanted to go to Miami, Keywest but due to the Zika virus threat and super expensive ticket prices and lack of vacation days left we decided to go somewhere close. And Cabo San Lucas Mexico emerged to be our best choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
San Jose Del Cabo Mexico is just a 3 hr flight from San Jose California.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Planning</b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Bought tickets on Alaska airlines, non stop flight. Got a steal deal with companion fare discount on our Alaska Credit Card.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Booked Solmar Resort from Groupon Getaways. The resort is near lands end, walking distance to marina and very close to most of the attractions in Cabo San Lucas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* No car rental since we wanted to avoid the hastle of driving and getting insurance internationally. Most of the attractions were close to our resort. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Taxi is cheap in mexico and always available to your hotel doorstep.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Booked a shuttle to/from airport to resort from http://www.bestday.com.mx</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Things to note:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Visa - No visa is needed if you have a valid US visa already stamped on your passport (for Indians)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Forex Cash - At least 200-300 Mex Pesos </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Forex Card - Credit card with 0 fees on foreign transactions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Carry USD in cash about 200-300 USD. As most of the places happily accept USD.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Ensure you carry some change in your wallet, you would need that for TIPS! where ever you go. We noticed mexico has a lot of tipping culture. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Lot of time-share guys will try to lure you to attend one of their presentations and offer you discount or free activities. Beware of them as its a waste of time and spoils your vacation time. Although they will offer you all kinds of lucrative offers!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Highlights of the trip:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Day 1:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Fly from one San Jose to another ;) SJC ===> SJD</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Checked in to Solmar resort.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Walked to the marina, took a glass bottom boat (pretty hyped!) to Medano beach.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Had early sunset dinner at "The Office". Really a great location with amazing views and delicious food! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Strolled around the Medano beach, checked out a few vendors selling amazing handicrafts. Got a nice Tortuga (Turtle) souvenir for a dollar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* The portion size in mexico is pretty large. We were so stuffed with the food, but our sweet tooth was still craving for desserts. So we found a really nice place called Senor Sweets and had some choc lava cake with strawberry icecream. Umm, It was delicioso!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* On the way back to our hotel, we had some amazing flavored tequila tasting in one of the local shops.<br />

Day 2:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Breakfast at Villa Del Palmar on the Medano beach.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Walked on the Medano beach, where I got my hair braided by one of the local vendors on the beach.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Spotted a few open air beach massage cabanas and added that to our list for the next day :) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Had lunch at Tabasco Restaurant on the beach. Amazing chicken tacos and shrimp cocktail. Slurp!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Post lunch, we had our ATV ride planned at the Wild Canyons theme park. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* The ATV ride was one of the wild attractions for 2016 for both of us. It started with full of fun initially and then moved on to an adventure ride!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* By the time we returned, it was already evening. We went to the resort's jacuzzi and had drinks and dinner at the Tejban hotel in the resort which was also hosting a Mexican festival on that night.<br />

Day 3:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Breakfast at Solomon's landing at the marina. Had their veggie omelette and cafe mocha!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Did some mandatory hat shopping at the marina. We found really nice hats for both of us for just 20 bucks!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* We did the Snorkeling cruise in the afternoon that included authentic mexican lunch, unlimited drinks and dance at the cruise with Cabo Escape. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* After the cruise, we went back to the Medano beach to get the Massage on the beach experience at one of the cabanas. Will go back again for this !!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* I wanted to have some non-mexican dinner that night and we stopped by at Wicked Pizza after looking at their yelp reviews. That was the biggest mistake we made :( When in mexico, eat only mexican! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Unsatisfied from the Pizza place, we strolled around the city and came across some amazing-looking mexican food joints on the way to our hotel. We stopped for desserts at Las Guacamayas, Authentic mexican restaurant and very reasonable prices. I wish we came here for dinner.<br />

Day 4:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Breakfast at Mamma's Cafe. Must say it was mouth watering breakfast! Mexican chilaquiles & French Toast. Must visit place while in Cabo! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* After breakkie, we took the much hyped Glass bottom boat to the most awaited trip to the Lover's beach. While on Gbb, we saw the Arch (which is locally know as El Arco and is extremely scenic and is a gathering spot for sea lions), the window to the pacific ocean (this is where the sea of cortez meets the pacific ocean) and an amazing snorkeling spot while on the Gbb. I wish we had known that earlier. But, next time! We got down at the lover's beach, strolled around and the other side of the lover's beach was the divorce beach. We did spend some time on both sides of the beaches.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I am introducing "My SuperHeroes" Story section on my blog where I will post an inspirational story about my Super Hero(es) in their own words. The purpose of this section is to inspire people by spreading the word about how other people have faced problems in their life and how did they overcome and gain victory over their circumstances.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To give you some background, a few months back at one of the dinner discussions, one of our friends introduced us to a random discussion 'Lets share what/who inspires us in life?' Someone talked about Steve Jobs whereas someone spoke about Elon Musk. Someone talked about sports whereas someone about politics. I was thinking about it and instantly thought about my elder sister Mamta. She has been more than a 'daughter' to our parents and more than a 'sister' to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The discussion that we had at our friends place was a very healthy discussion and I was enormously happy after listening to everyone's story. I felt an unknown energy flowing within my body. It was then when I decided to start this section on my blog and decided to share my inspiration and seek inspiration from my readers in return :) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mamta has a very strong personality and has been a solid support system of our family. Without her I feel my entire family wouldn't be what/where we are today. Since the time I have opened my eyes I have seen her as a fighter. This blog post is about her story! Her experiences while growing up in our traditional joint sindhi family. And in a way, its my story too ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Over to you, Mamta:</i></div>

I don't write a lot but I love to read books, blogs, recipes and gossips.</span></div>

( I have never shared this with anyone )</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We are a family of 3 sisters and my parents. We belong to a typical sindhi business family. Since, my childhood days, people did not miss to mention to my parents - "Oh! You have 3 daughters", as if they didn't know it. It was always a social pressure on my mom - when people said, "Arey!! your daughter has specs ( chasma pehenti hai aapki beti)". I love my family and my parents and can't ask for a better childhood, but those were the things that made me think - Whats wrong with having daughters? Why is there so strong discrimination between girls and boys? I think we were lucky that our parents admitted us in English medium school like rest of the boys in the family. Relatives visiting, cousins, uncles and aunts will surely mention to my Dad - "You really need to work hard, so that you can save for the dowry for all three of them”." May be put them in Gujarati medium they are less expensive schools around". I wondered and wondered ... Why should my parents give dowry? Is it because we wear spectacles or is it because I am not very pretty like the neighbors girl. Why different choices for school for me versus my cousin brothers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At an early age (8th grade), I kind of promised myself - I won't marry a guy who asks me for dowry, and if there is no such guy in the world, I won't marry at all. I used to say that to my Mom and she will tell me all the customs and this is how the world works and when I grow up I will know better... I was always a tomboy kind of girl and didnt really was into feminine activity like make-up, nail art, cosmetics etc etc. May be because I wanted to be like a boy to my parents.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

Growing up with my cousin brothers, who always kind of bullied me. (I love them not to mention) my answer was I want a baby sister. My uncle said NO! You should pray to God for a little brother. I was only 4 years old but I really wished for a sister. My mom was not very happy because we had another baby girl, but I was thrilled to have her. (Now, Jaya is my mom's favourite kid so I don't fight with mom on that)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When Chandni (my youngest sister) was born, there was this big drama - my Aunt wanted to adopt her since she didn't have any kids and my Mom was unhappy about having another girl. I was 10 years old, I could very strongly remember my visit to the hospital. Even though my mom was sad, she didn't wanted to give up her daughter to anyone and I was proud of that. From that day, I started thinking what can I do that can make my parents proud. What boys can do that girls cannot achieve? Why people are so clinged to the idea of having a boy to complete the family. It wasn't just dowry or taking care of parents in the old age. What was that made parents proud when they had a boy vs girl. Why people craved for having a boy child? My dad once told me boys can take your surname to next generation but girls can't. Well that makes sense - but is that such a big deal? Well I never got any satisfactory answers to my questions, and figured out probably no one knows it. It's kind of generational pressure which they have been brought up and now they are continuing their life with the same.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I always wanted to prove to my parents and people around me that girls can do very well and even better than boys and can also take care of their family. Children are God's gift and should not be discriminated. To keep myself out of all these thoughts, I pushed myself in studies. I wasn't the best, but I started spending a lot of time studying and talking to my teachers. One thing became very clear to me that if I want to change this orthodox thought about girls and boys I need to do something big.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Then everyone will respect me and my parents. Doctors are highly educated so hopefully they won't ask for dowry and will not discriminate. I can earn money for my family and don't have to depend solely on my husband's income and that was enlightening moment for me. I really took that dream to heart and studied really hard to get into medical school. But I didn't make it to the one in my city, and again my parents didn't want me to go far so I picked Engineering. (which was not a bad choice as well)</span></div>

I will have kids and will repeat the same telecast as my mom. Since I had no idea what a computer science engineer did those days. The only other computer science engineer I knew was my uncle, who was in US those days. He encouraged me to come to US for higher education. I immediately jumped on that idea - since that will get me some more time and I can get fresh air in different environment to explore and put my CS degree to use. I started my GRE and TOEFL preparation. The entire US thing was such a big battle from convincing my parents to entire family. (remember we were in joint family so everyone's opinion matters) Not to mention, arranging the funds. Circle back to dowry and there are 2 other sisters who are still in school. I would mention my Mom even though was not highly educated supported me for my crazy idea to go to US else it wouldn't have been possible for me to come to US. I took an educational loan and flew to US. I know my mom still tells me you never looked back when you were going to US, sure enough I was very excited to go live my dream.</span></div>

I completed my Masters degree and got a job in a multinational company, got married without any dowry, own a house of myself and I am a proud Mom of a lovely daughter. My sister (Jaya) is also in US, working in a multinational company, married and well settled in Silicon Valley. My youngest sister (Chandni) earned four gold medals for her remarkable work in her medical college and is now working to become a world class Radiologist. My parents have visited me few times now and I can see how proud they feel of me and my sister's achievements. People often ask them nowadays how did you raise your girls they are role models and you can see the light in my parents eyes.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">April is a very special month for my blog! Yes, its my blogs' anniversary month. Although I blogged very little this year, I promise to compensate in the following year :)</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since this month I am celebrating my blogs' second anniversary, I wanted to do something special. Special by spreading happiness and seeking inspirations. Manoj and I had some conversations about it and we thought it would be a great idea to bake for charity:-) As soon as we posted this on Facebook, a lot of people reached out to us to know more about it and to know how it works?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all let me thank everyone who reached out to us for ordering cakes and those who sent their inspirational words through messages and emails. This would not have been possible without you and your support.<br />
<br />
This post summarizes what "Baking for Charity" is all about.</div>
</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is a simple 3-step process:<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. You fill this form to order your cake for your special occasion - <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QmdA1p76qL4VEo1kVd6-F_joIscvPB0xvVDktgj5UoY/edit?usp=forms_home&ths=true" target="_blank">Online Cake Order Form</a></div>
</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. You decide the amount you feel comfortable to pay for the cake.</div>
</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. You visit our fundraiser page to donate that amount to your favorite charity - <a href="https://www.justgive.org/manojaya">https://www.justgive.org/manojaya</a> </div>
</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* If you prefer donating to any other charity thats not listed on the above link, please feel free to reach out and I can add it to our list.<br />
<br />
<i><b>PS: We are now raising funds for Asha For Education exclusively, please donate on this link </b></i>- <a href="https://www.ashanet.org/siliconvalley/marathon/runnernet2/public.php?2016TASVR1065" target="_blank">Asha For Education</a></div>
</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We make you happy by giving our 100% in baking the best cake possible as per your needs and you make someone else happy by donating your money towards a noble cause that you care about. This way we are spreading happiness and paying it forward :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Please do share your thoughts/reviews in the comments below. </div>
</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also do read my post "Pay It Forward" to know the story behind how we came up with this idea - <a href="http://beingdhriti.blogspot.com/2015/10/pay-it-forward.html" target="_blank">Pay It Forward</a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
February has been my best month of 2016. Not because its a valentine's month but because we visited India in February this year :) It was super duper tiring but we enjoyed every single bit of it. One of the many best things we did in India was to attend my younger sister's (Chandni's) 'Misri' ceremony. 'Misri' ceremony in Sindhi's is what 'Roka' is for Punjabi's and what 'Gaud-Dhana' is for Gujju's. It symbolizes coming together of the two families of the couple. It means that the search of the families and the individuals for their soulmate has stopped. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once the shopping and preparation for the 'Misri' was done, both of them (Chandni and Pinkal) wanted to do photoshoot before the event. I was looking for a good photographer to do the photoshoot but wasn't able to find a decent one at the last minute. So, Manoj and I decided to do it by ourselves. I have always been very fascinated by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laxmi_Vilas_Palace,_Vadodara" target="_blank">Laxmi Vilas Palace</a> since the time it has opened for public. As soon as we decided we are going to be the photographers, I decided that was the place I would like to go for the shoot. Chandni immediately spoke to one of her friends who got us the permit and we were all set :) <br />
<br />
Here are few pics from the photoshoot:<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Today is the last day of our
‘Friends Season’. I hope you enjoyed this series of posts by friends. In the
process, I learned a lot from them and this will keep me motivated for next
couple of months for sure </span><span style="font-family: "wingdings"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Today’s post is about my lost love
for nail art. There was a time when I used to do nail art almost every weekend.
But, then I got married </span><span style="font-family: "wingdings"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> and didn’t get time for this. I
kept getting busy with settling down and travelling with him </span><span style="font-family: "wingdings"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Today’s
post is definitely giving me a lot of inspiration to get back to my lost love!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Let me introduce you to today’s
blogger – Mukta Hariani. She is also my cousin-in-law. I have known her for a little
over 2 years. Although we have hardly met in person, I can tell from her
instagram pictures that she is an unbelievably crazy shopper and a big time
make-up junkie. The first gift that I received from her was a set of Maybelline
lip-glosses and eye-shadow. The only thing she wants me to get from US is a
bunch of Maybelline products not easily available in India. She is a lover of
Bath and Body Works products. You have to follow her on instagram to see her
excellent nail-art almost every other day. She super impresses me as she is a
mom to a 1 year old son and manages to get time to do the nail art regularly. I
feel she is a super mom!!! Hats off to you Mukta Di.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

about painting my nails. It began with pearl white and baby pink to the hues of

was the number of nail paints. While getting ready for work, having well-shaped
and colored nails was a ritual so was for outings. I honestly confess I have
been a hoarder. And pink being my weakness; I have all possible shades of it.
During all these years, I have realized it's not just the color of the paint
that one is picking, they all come in different variations. From glossy to
matt, shimmer to glitters, tons of variants are available. And of course there
are so many brands to choose from. So my nail bar grew bigger and bigger.</span></div>

paints. Apart from having a matching nail paint or a contrast nail paint, nails
can be decorated as well. And that's what got my interest – ‘The Nail Art’.
From applying ready made nail stickers to making a design on the nail. Loads of
stuff can be done. I couldn't paint my nails for 2 years while I was pregnant
and after that got busy with the baby. Now since my little muchkin is grown a
little bit I am all excited and geared up. I got my nail art accessories like
stamps, dotting tool, nail art pen, glitters, top coats etc from ebay and
amazon.</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">These days the nail paint brands have launched their paints especially
for nail art. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt;">I am an amateur but learning is fun. Thanks
to the internet !!! Its time consuming and needs a lot of concentration and
patience. So when my darling Kiyan is sleeping, I get my hands on it. Best is
when my friends and family appreciate my work on instagram </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "wingdings"; font-size: 11pt;">J </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt;">So while I learn more and post more, you guys
have a great time. Shopping is fun so keep shopping and trying new stuff </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "wingdings"; font-size: 11pt;">J</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Today is day-four of our ‘Friends Season’ and I
hope you are enjoying reading the interesting topics that my friends have come
up with! Today is about another exciting thing that most of us are not really
motivated for. It’s about fitness! I was never a person who would care a bit
about exercising regularly or eating healthy or staying fit. Once in a while I
would take resolutions to stay fit but I would break it within a week. Nothing
ever lasted longer than a week! Although I have been surrounded by people going
to the gym regularly, doing half marathons, full marathons, trialothons etc. but
nothing ignited the spark in me! I always thought, it was not for me. But recently
I joined WalmartLabs and saw more and more motivated people following their
fitness regime religiously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that’s
when I decided to do something about it and things changed gradually and as a
result I ran a half marathon recently. That has been one of my biggest
achievements of 2015. Read more about my half marathon experience here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Let me introduce you to today’s blogger – Shubhi
Jain – who is one of the motivations I got, after working at Labs. I have known
Shubhi for little over 6 months now. She is very smart, energetic and an
outgoing personality. She is a happy-go-lucky person who likes to shop and
explore new places. She is not a kind of person who can sit and do nothing. She
always keeps finding interesting things to keep herself busy during her pastime.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Over to you, Shubhi -</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Well going to the gym or working out to be fit
was never my thing, as I always had a body which never used to gain weight
until I was 24 :P But things changed.. I completed my graduation, had an offer
from WalmartLabs and went happily to India and there it started… gaining weight
- may be because I was too happy with my accomplishments, so ate a lot or may
be that is the age when your body have some changes I am not sure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started realizing that I am getting bit
fat, my clothes are getting tight and I asked my mother that Indian food
started hitting me, but like all moms my mom also said no you are not getting
fat you are getting healthy :P. For an Indian, the love for food is more
important than love for body :P so I didn't care too much about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">After I came back and started my new job and
with the good earning after almost two years I started spending on shopping,
eating and whatever I like. I started getting bored with my daily routine.. Get
up.. go to work.. come back.. pass time on facebook.. cook and then sleep late.
After a few days I thought, let me start with something new on a regular basis
and the first thing which struck my mind is starting gym and get fit. So after
office, I started to make a routine of going to the gym in my apartment and
without much knowledge about the equipment and workouts I just started with
walking on treadmill and cycling for some 30 minutes each. I was feeling good
after a few days as I started something new in my routine and following it
regularly, though might not be intense enough for reducing fat. Then, I had a
good discussion about gym and workout with one of my friends and he suggested
me few workout routines from youtube videos to make it more intense and I
started following it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It started getting
better with more soreness in the body and I started getting very nice sleep
because of tiredness. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Then, just one day we were talking about
dancing class at work while having lunch. Jaya was interested to join so to
just start we went for cardio dance at Dance Identity and it was amazing, full
of energy and awesome workout for one and half hour just dancing. I got a
thought that even dancing is an amazing fat burn workout and I should make it a
regular practice. I asked few other friends for company and then I found one of
my school friends Apoorva, who was also interested to join. So we both started
regular Bollywood Fuze class every Monday and believe me that change in my
regular routine made me more inclined towards fitness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I was
interested in dancing since childhood so always participated in school, college
and that interest even gave me a chance to perform at Walmart labs Diwali
event. It was amazing experience to practice for hours taking time out of work
and coordinating performance of all three of us. Everyone appreciated it. We
received so many compliments for our performance. After the event, I continued
my regular workout routine and added few more fitness classes in my schedule
offered at my office like power shred, Bombay jam, crossfit and I feel much
better now about my stamina and fitness level. I will surely continue this and
moreover now I feel very happy about my routine. I would like to thank Jaya who
told me to write few words about some topic and after so many confusions this
topic came to my mind and I had so much to write about my inclination towards
fitness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

town? Who doesn’t feel eating McAloo Tikki Burger at Mc Donald’s is heavenly? Who
hasn’t gone to the closest pav-bhaji laari outside nukkad of the society very
often? Who doesn’t want to cook dal-chawal after a week long trip eating
outside? Well, it was me once upon a time but I am no longer the same ;) After
coming to US, I started trying new cuisines and started cooking and since then there
is no looking back </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"> As it is truly said - necessity became the mother of invention ;) I

love for cooking with lots of delightful pictures. I have known her for more
than two years now. She is my cousin-in-law, my wedding planner and above all
my friend. She is an event planner by profession and did a magnificent job
on planning my wedding. Although her name is Heena, we call her Honey as she is
as sweet as honey. Thanks a lot honey for planning our dream-wedding and for
this lovely blog post. I definitely want to try all these in our next India

first blog post ever! I would not be here writing about my cooking addiction if
it were not for you Jaya. She asked me if I can write a blogpost for her where
she is planning to feature few of her friends and suggested to write about
“Anything that I like to do, shopping, travelling, recent adventures or any thing”.
Though I am an event manager by profession and organize weddings, birthday
parties, conferences etc and yeah I like doing that a lot but then I thought
this time I would give a preference to my another creative passion - that’s
COOKING! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every once in a while after she
asked me to write for her blog, I would sit in front of the computer and my
brain would literally be empty! Zero words, zero thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

back in 2005 when I tried my hands on cooking and that was because I had come
to Pune for my higher education and got bored of eating at the restaurants and
also the food that was made by the cook. So jotted down few simple recipes (dictated
by MOM!) so that I get a homely feeling and yes of-course this passion for
cooking is in my blood because my MOM is an awesome chef </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Today
is day-two of our Friends Season :) 'Friends Season' is a great opportunity for
me to realize how creative people get when they are not given a topic to
write and they come up with brilliant content and that too on a
short notice. The purpose of this season is to learn this creativity from
friends and imbibe that into my thoughts for the future posts of beingdhriti!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Have
you ever wondered if there is a science behind what nail color you should wear
or which dress might suit you? I have never and I am sure most of you haven't.
But here is my curious friend Dena transforming her dislike for earrings to
something that has become the most important part of her outfit by studying
the science behind what will suit her face. I know her since more than two
years now. She is very innocent, beautiful and energetic. She is a fun-loving person who loves to travel and take lots of pictures :)</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Jaya asked me to write a guest post for her blog. Now the big question was on
which topic should I write? Jaya told me I can write about anything, any topic
in this world. It made things easy :) I had arranged my wardrobe few days back
and so the thing which was on the top of my mind was my earrings collection. So
I thought it will be a good idea to share my story about earrings love!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Earlier
I used to think big artificial earrings were not for me. It will never
suit me. So I never tried them. Then I tried some times but never liked it.
Then my very dear cousin Vaishali gave me some beautiful earrings as gift. I tried them and my thinking started changing. I started loving artificial
earrings. Today I am in full love with my earrings. I feel like my any dress-up
is incomplete without earrings! When I get perfect matching earring with my
dress from my collection, I feel like THIS IS IT! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">As
I explored more about earrings, I found there is science behind it that which
earring suits which type of face cut. With some research and trial and error
you can find perfect shape of earrings, which suits your face cut.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">I should not wear round shaped earrings. It makes round face more
round. And studs are also not very good option for my face cut. But I like
studs also. So when I wear studs I make sure to give good colors to my eyes.
Because when we try small earrings focus will be on our eyes and when we use long
earrings focus will be on our lips. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

had many earrings collected from different places. But then there are many
earrings and if you don't take care of it nicely then it may break or you may
loose some. So arranging them nicely become very important part. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

use hanging jewelry organizer for my earrings. You can easily find it online or
at stores like Marshalls or Ross. There are many earring organizers available
like earring trays, earring holder stand, Wall mounted earring holders, Stylish
hand or tree to hold earrings. You can arrange it by size, color, style. I have
arranged it by color, so I can easily find it whenever I need and I can easily
put it back. If you are traveling then you can pack your matching
earrings in small packing bags or small plastic box with hard surface so that
it does not break.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;">I wanted to start the new year with something fresh and lively. So I asked few of my friends to write a short post for me which is what I call - My 'Friends Season'. And boom! Here it is - one of the fresh and green blog post of the year by Roma Mehta with her love for Gardening. I have known Roma for more than four years now. She is very creative, enthusiastic person and a Facebook fanatic. Other thing that distinguishes her from others is she has very crazy ideas. She is my go-to person whenever I want ideas to surprise any of my friends or family ;) </span></div>

Like seriously, our lives are very similar in a lot of uncanny ways. When she asked me to write a blog post for her blog, I was confused as I am new to this concept. But later I understood what it means and asked her for suggestions on some topic to write about. She said - “Anything you are passionate about or any of your recent projects”. “Gardening!” was the first thought in my mind. This is the only complete DIY thing in my life right now, just mine! So we got a home in San Jose early this year and the backyard is part patio and rest is open for me to do whatever my imagination commands. I will try to put pictures with each small project so that it’s easier to relate.</span></div>

But I guess it’s in my blood as my dad is a hard core gardener. So since we moved in our home, patio and backyard got the least attention. After we settled in, I started thinking about having a kitchen garden in the backyard. Immediately made a trip to Home Depot and got potting soil and some plants like green bell pepper, strawberry, mint, tomato and colored leaves.</span></div>

There was no stopping me after that. I also discovered that planting seeds is easy. I used seeds of green chillies, really spicy ones that Prerak’s aunt got us from LA. Once planted and regularly watered, the green chilly plants actually started growing. But since I had planted about 10-12 seeds, all those saplings grew at once and were competing with each other for the soil and space. I had to move some of them to a different area to allow them to grow separately.</span></div>

I used to water the plants after I come home from work and it was usually dark when I did that. On a weekend I saw 3 of them grown into fully blown bell peppers and it was really exciting! I harvested them and also made a Gujarati preparation out of it!</span></div>

Our friends Harsh and Esha gifted us hanging floral baskets for the new home and we found the perfect spot to hang them - the front door! Believe it or not, we got them in August and they are still blooming in the month of November. The colors are just so soothing and add a very fresh touch to the front door. </span></div>

So it was time to get into edging the backyard. I initially thought I will buy pavers and get it done by some gardener. But then, just out of curiosity I googled up on how to edge the backyard myself, and it seemed pretty doable. Well, it was a little tougher than I thought it would be, but it was a super fun project. I am yet to finish it, but here is a picture of the work in progress. </span></div>

Since my dad is visiting us, currently staying with my sister in NJ, so I keep discussing new gardening ideas with him. One day he told me that he got 50 tulip bulbs and planted them in the front yard of my sister’s home. I had bought tulip bulbs a long time back but just kept those in the fridge since the rule is, you plant them late fall and they begin to bloom in spring. I just wanted to get hold of the colors I wanted - Lavendar, pink and red. So last weekend I thought the timing was perfect since it has begun to get cold. So I dug 6 inch deep holes and planted a bulb in each of them. I am now eagerly waiting for spring so that I can see those colors in front of my home, will share a picture once they are here!</span></div>

Gardening has really given my life a new excitement. In my free time, I keep thinking of fruits, flowers and veggies that I want to add. Watering them is another calm and serene 15 minutes that I get every alternate day. To see them grow, to take care of them, trim and harvest them is really satisfying. My dad will be staying with me for a few weeks in March, which is perfect spring time, so I will use his experience and gardening knowledge at that time to plant some fruits. I have some grand DIY plans for further expansion of my backyard, also planning to expand the patio area, hopefully by next summer it’s ready to welcome the bbq parties! </span></div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Making Tiramisu had been on my to-do list since quite some time. I always thought it would be very difficult for me and it will take me to the next level in Baking! It is one of our favorite deserts lately. I love Paris Baguette Tiramisu <3 But when I made it last week, I felt it was literally a piece of cake.<br />
<br />
This is the fastest cake recipe that I have ever made and which doesn't need any baking! Quick and easy to make! I made this Jain version of Tiramisu for a Baby shower party at work. It was a grand success! :) </div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Ingredients</b>:</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Soft White bread</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
1 cup Mascarpone cheese at room temperature</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
1 cup heavy Whip cream</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
3 tablespoon coffee</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
1 teaspoon vanilla extract</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
1 cup sugar</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Method</b>:</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Step 0:</b> Make the coffee syrup: Take 3/4th cup water and add 3 tablespoon coffee and 2 tablespoon sugar. Mix it till sugar dissolves. </div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Step 1</b>: First take a bowl and whip the whipping cream using an electric mixer. [ I freeze the electric mixers attachments and the bowl in which I want to whip the cream. The idea is it should not get hot. Since you whip it for around 10 minutes, it generates heat. So to make sure it remains cool even after 10 minutes I freeze both the bowl and the attachments from the electric mixer.] Whisk it till the cream starts sticking to the mixers blade or until stiff peaks start forming. Thats the indication that it is done. </div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Step 2:</b> Once the Whip cream is close to ready, add the sugar and vanilla extract to it and mix it for 10-15 seconds. Or stir it with spoon. </div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Step 3</b>: In another bowl whisk mascarpone vigorously by hand until creamy and smooth. </div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Step 4:</b> Fold whipping cream into mascarpone in 2 additions until mixture is smooth.</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<u>Assemble tiramisu</u>:</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Take a deep glass 8 inch or individual glasses. Put a layer of this whip cream and mascarpone cheese mixture at the bottom and lay a layer of bread on it. Make sure to cut the sides of the bread. If necessary cut the bread in order to make one single layer of bread on the bake dish and to fit them in the dish. Take spoon and pour the coffee mixture on the top of this bread layer. Put a layer of whip cream on the top and sprinkle some chocolate powder over it. Repeat with second, third, fourth layer as you see fir. Cover and refrigerate for atlas 6 hours or unto 2 days. </div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Serve cold. Right before serving dust the top with cocoa powder or chocolate or both! I sprinkled it with Bournvita :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Turning 30 is a big deal for some people, atleast it is for me. I do not want to turn 30 anytime soon... As if I had an option :'( But this year my love turned 30! For me leaving twenties is like leaving your youth and officially embarking a grown up life. It is actually a good thing but to me somehow it is a little scary. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though being 30 sounds scary to me I was super excited for him turning thirty :) I wanted to celebrate it with style;) I started planning his birthday right from my birthday in August and I registered both of us for our first ever half marathon and trust me it was once in a lifetime experience for us. First times are always very special. You can read more about our marathon experience <a href="http://beingdhriti.blogspot.com/2015/11/first-half-marathon.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We celebrated his Big 3-0 with many of his different groups of friends. His birthday falls on November 9th but the celebrations began on Oct 31st - yes on the night of Halloween! We were at a halloween party at our neighbors place and on the same day one of Manoj's under-grad friends was visiting SF from India. Some of his other under-grad friends planned a get together on the same night and we decided to catch them up after the halloween party. We managed to sneak out of the party at neighbors place to join the other party ;) All of them met for dinner and we joined them right on time - post dinner. On meeting them he had such a blast - taking a stroll down the memory lane and recalling their days of youth. He with five of his other friends were giggling out so loud in the restaurant that everyone around was watching us! Oh my God! I saw him so super duper happy :) Before the restaurant people kick us out we decided to take a walk to Santana-row for some desert. This is where we had his birthday cake cutting with some coffee at Cocola :-) </div>

The next celebration was with all the scorpions of our gang :) This is the tradition of our group since quite some years now :) This time it was primarily organized by Shivali for Herat's 30th birthday on Nov 1st. It was an amazing night as we went out for the Escape room game where they lock us all in a small room and give us a number of clues to come out of that room. Although we lost the game :P and couldn't solve all the clues to get out of the room, it was an awesome experience! Post this game we went for dinner at our favorite Thai restaurant. My contribution for this party - I made Tiramisu cake for the evening. It came out real yummy... :) Here are few pics from the night</div>

Next was 8th of November when we ran our first half marathon :) It was awe-inspiring running with him on this day with spectacular views of Golden Gate Bridge celebrating love's birthday, listening to his awesome playlist with a little bit of drizzle as we cross the GGB with 'Tum Hi Ho' playing right on time which added the icing on the cake. Just can't describe in words. We made our first records to complete the half marathon in little under 2:45 hours. On completion, it felt like we were on the top of this world :) </div>

Then came the surprise part! I had called his friends to Crissy fields for his Big 3-0 surprsie moment. And luckily it was very well executed. He had no clue everyone was coming :) Here are few pictures of fun moments at Crissy fields where he was dipped in the ice cold water by his friends. I guess it was a good way to quickly recover post marathon :)</div>

Post this Crissy fields madness we went to his favorite cuising restaurant in SF. It is called Thai Idea Vegetarian. The best part of this restaurant is their presentation of food. An absolutely must visit place just for the presentation. Here is the link - <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/thai-idea-vegetarian-san-francisco-2?osq=thai+vegan" target="_blank">Thai Idea Vegetarian</a>. Totally loved it. </div>

Post family celebration we went out for dinner to a michelin star 1 south-indian restaurant. Yes, there is a michelin star south Indian restaurant in bay area. While I was looking for michelin star restaurants options to take him out for his birthday dinner, I immediately booked this place as soon as I found there was a south-indian restaurant of this class. He totally loves south indian food. We had lots of good food and fun at Rasa. Here is the link - <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/rasa-burlingame" target="_blank">Rasa</a></div>

Its been a year since we moved into our sweet little home :) Since quite some time I wanted to make a small video of all the memories that made our home sweet home. Nov 23rd last year is when we did our house warming party with friends and family and today after exactly one year I have my video ready to be shared with everyone. Here you go!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">This story began on my birthday this year when we were discussing about doing something different and out of our comfort zone before the two of us turn 30! Both of us came up with lots of crazy and wild ideas but then we settled on giving it a try for a half marathon. As soon as both of us agreed to this, I immediately registered for the Golden Gate Half marathon which was exactly in 12 weeks after my birthday and on the day of his birthday (Nov 8). We did not even have any idea about what it meant to run 13.1 miles. We just knew we want to do it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ok, registration was done. Then we started looking for how to begin. We came across a lot of articles and figured out that it wasn't as easy as we thought. People on internet were talking about 6-8 months of training to do half marathon the right way and injury-free. There were other set of people/training-groups who were recommending 12 weeks of aggressive training. Well, we had exactly 12 weeks and we had registered so we had no second thoughts. So I picked one of the training plans available online and decided to follow it religiously. Here is a picture of our ideal 12 week training program :)</div>

We went on our first run on the morning of my birthday itself. All energetic, excited and full of enthusiasm. After a mile we realized what 'one' mile running meant. 13.1 miles felt impossible at the bottom of my heart but I never brought it to my lips. We just did 2 miles on that day and were dead tired. The whole day in office I felt too tired and felt too sleepy :P</div>

After the first day, we decided to move our running schedule to evenings. As days passed we kept our discipline and went for running every day. It was not easy in the beginning. Each one of us would inspire the other and let the running spirit go on. Very soon our dinner time TV channels changed to youtube videos to learn tips and tricks for running half marathon. I used to browse a lot regarding stretching and strengthening exercises and all other good practices for beginner runners. Running became the spark in our life and both of us would come up with new ideas about various exercises, different products, diet, etc for runners. Our weekends used to be going for long-runs and relaxing on a couch and browsing/shopping for shoes, fitness tracker, waist belts, compression bands etc. </div>

We had joined the 'Founder-Run' meet up group and used to go to shoreline lake for weekend 6 mile run. This meet-up was a group of engineers and founders who were also passionate about running. This group was very motivating and we met some really interesting people. The views of Shoreline lake were breath-taking. After running here is when we realized the energy coming from the people around you and the views make a lot of difference in how you feel after a long run. </div>

6 weeks before the half marathon, Manoj got injured after one of our 7 mile run. He sprained his ankle and could not even walk. It took him around 4-5 weeks to recover fully which means he couldn't come for running. But I was determined to go for practice at least 4 times a week if not daily. We were not sure if he should be running the marathon but we kept that decision for the last minute. </div>

3 weeks before the marathon, I did my first longest run of 10 miles at Shoreline lake with the same Founder-run meet up group. They normally do a 6 mile run but I got two other enthusiasts who accompanied me and encouraged me to achieve my 10 mile goal. Whoa! What a feeling it was. I felt so energetic after the run. It was the best feeling :) I remembered our day 1 when things seem to be impossible and I had reached so far in about 9 weeks of time. I felt so proud of myself. On that same day, I was thinking about what running has taught me. Running has really given me a new perspective in my life. Something that seemed to be impossible 2 months back seemed quite possible. Until now I had always been complaining that I don't have time to do this and do that but after I started running I felt more energetic. Even though running would take away 2 hours of my schedule, I would infact get more things done in a day than I would do otherwise. Running has also taught me a healthy way of living. I have decided to continue running or pursue any other form of exercise even after the half marathon. </div>

Few days before the Marathon, we loaded ourselves with lots of carbs. The day before the marathon we went to the expo and enjoyed the sun in the city. That night we relished a nice bowl of Pasta! On the day of the marathon, we got up at 4am in the morning and boosted our energy levels, packed our bags and headed to San Francisco in full form :) We were there to have fun and celebrate Manoj's 30th birthday :) Here are a few pics from the finale:<br />

The course through the Presidio, across the Golden Gate Bridge, past the Palace of Fine Arts out to Fort Mason was amazingly beautiful and a little drizzle while running over the Golden Gate Bridge was icing on the cake. The experience was breath-taking and worth having! In addition to the views, it was the energy in the crowd and the playlist that I had playing while running that made it possible. It was more about the journey than the finish line. But touching the finish line was in itself a very big moment of achievement! </div>

This story would be incomplete without my motivations who led me take this challenge up. Shrushti and Pooja and a colleague named Samatha were my inspiration throughout this journey. A brief conversation with any of them would recharge me as much to last for couple of weeks. Whenever I felt the spark going down I would simply talk to one of them and would get my excitement and energy back to its peak!</div>

There are no pictures for Saatam and Janmashtami as we were on vacation to Yellowstone during the most important festivals of the month of Shravan! No worries will celebrate next year :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This post is on-request from a bunch of friends who are planning to go to Alaska and asked us for our expert-advise ;) So I am making it available for everyone who wants to visit the heaven on earth! This is just the copy-paste from the google doc that we make for all our trips. If you need any more details, please feel free to post a comment and I will get back to you.<br />
<br />
Although the following itinerary looks exhaustive in first look it is quite do-able as we were able to do everything on this list. Days are very long in May and Alaska provides you a very different energy level that you cant stop exploring it more and more. The last two days were slowed down for us because we got busy in the scavenger hunt for our lost baggage :) So, I have listed a few additional things that you can do for the extra time you may have during your 10 day trip.<br />
<br />
Note: It is a very good idea to buy the Tour saver coupon book - http://www.toursaver.com/ and it costs you around 100$ but is totally worth every single penny. We booked most of our trip using this book as it provides lots of good buy 1 get 2 offers.<br />
<br />
Below list gives you a good idea about route that we took, where to stay, where to eat along the route. We had with us a Jain couple with lots of food limitations and they had plenty of pizza, burger, sandwiches, salad options along the way. Food was not at all a problem. </div>
