Paniyaram – This is a traditional sphere shaped, sweet tasting snack/breakfast dish from Tamil Nadu, India. My wife cooked these for dinner this evening. What better way to celebrate my daughter’s spring break 😉
Here is the wiki entry for Paniyaram:
Paniyaram (பணியாரம்) is a dish made by steaming batter — traditionally made from pulses (specifically black lentils) and rice using a mold.

I got the idea for today’s post from the the picture of CFL light bulb that I picked from Costco yesterday 😉
These were the toys my daughter used to play when she was 3yr old – these were from wooden doll house collection. I got the idea for today’s post, from my 2yr old who was playing with these last evening. I just lined them all together for this capture.
They are all seem to be happy and in Harmony 🙂
Here is my another last minute try out…Usually I like taking pictures when I get back from work when there is sufficient light. It was such a busy day (blame it on the time change), I had to scramble for ideas until the last moment 😉
We have this colorful umbrella and my 2 year old was playing with this over the past weekend. I kind of know that it could be a subject for someday. As I was racking my brain on how to make this as a subject for today’s post, I saw the symmetry (of triangles) when I opened up the umbrella. So had to set my camera with 50mm prime on the tripod and shot this with 5sec exposure and f/11 aperture. I really liked the way it turned out.
I have to say, life is made of math & science 😉
Sunday is a busy day for us. It’s the day we cook, and bake for the week ahead.
We cooked hearty veggies/bean soup for the week ahead and took few pictures while prepping for the soup. Its quite an easy recipe to follow – dice all the veggies, throw them in a cast iron pot with seasoning, & chicken stock and let it simmer. It’s good for ya 😉
Another bonus picture for day 73 😉
Took a picture of this sweet red bell pepper before dicing it for hearty vegetable soup.

Took a picture of this mildly spicy Jalapeno before dicing it for hearty vegetable soup.
It’s our grocery shopping day 😉
Bought these portabella mushroom caps for grilling and took few pictures of portabella gills this afternoon. Used Nikkor 60mm macro to capture these. I really like the way these turned out – these gills looks like soft pillows 😉
I am a long time listener of NPR radio and I regularly listen to Morning Edition, Talk of the Nation on weekdays and Science Friday on Fridays. About a month or so, I got an email about Science Friday being hosted in St. Louis Science Center by Ira Flatow. I was delighted and immediately signed up. Really lucky enough to get a free ticket to watch the live show tomorrow…so “Is it Friday yet?”
Ah it’s another one of those days….
Didn’t get to decide on the subject for today’s post until the last moment and by the time I decided to take a picture of these accent froggies, Sun has gone down already…so has to settle on capturing these with the aid of flash lighting.
Took couple of picture of froggies with their cute face looking at the camera and felt they were quite boring to my taste. So have to seat them such that they were looking away from the camera…I kind of like it. Seems like these froggies are wondering – ‘where did the Sun go?’ 😉
