The weekend that just went by was a time for relaxing and cleaning... since the much awaited festival of Ugadi is just around the corner (23rd March). The relaxing after the cleaning was what was long due... because generally everyone is at home (since I live in a joint family), and there is no end to the cooking and cleaning up after and washing dishes and the like, not to mention - add to that the extra work of cleaning every nook and corner of the house !! However this weekend was totally different. My in-laws had gone to their village for some festival over the week. The guys in the house followed them over the weekend and the ladies in the house had the house to themselves. Then there were the kids. But there was more relaxing time comparatively, because kids generally dont care much for rice n sambar and all the elaborate cooking. So, I got to do some experimenting around the house.
