On the Bank of Tunga

Tunga called me and I just followed her watery cool voice. She is really blessed with rich flora and fauna.

See you another day dearest Tunga 🙂

VP Mix and LHTW ;-)

Hi dear all 🙂

As a part of travelling, learning Sanskrit, understanding different cultures, I’m in Shimoga district of Karnataka. Since I’m living in a small village here, there are no good restaurants nearby. Already reading about the difficulty of getting good water and food here and also with my sensitive digestive system, I have bought electric kettle, sugar, salt,
coffee/green tea packets, spoon, knife, cups, peanuts, tiffin boxes with me. With readily and cheaply available veggies and beaten rice (poha/avalakki) here, today I discovered 2 recipes – VP Mix aka Veggie Poha Mix and LHTW aka Lemon Honey Tulsi juice for filling my hungry tummy in morning. The Veggie Poha Mix can be taken as Breakfast/Lunch/Supper/Snack.
