Hi all,

These are my nine inspirations, which come in my mind immediately when I think about inspiration in life.
About people, there are so many who might have struggled harder and achieved more in life, but I think about those whom we remember easily and who comes in my mind always.
1.Diya (Deep)
It burns itself to give light to others.

It takes the shape of its container (so adjusting) and purifier of our life.
3.Ant
It is hard working and it saves for rainy days!
4.Elephant

Both are bitter but cure our diseases.

Nine things for Guests

Tried and tasted by Nivedita
Hi all,
We, Indians believe “Athithi Devo Bhav” (Guests are like God). In this busy world, expecting and entertaining guests is little difficult, until you put an extra effort.
It is not possible for everyone to have guest room. I remember, in our child hood, we all cousins (10 to 12 children) used to share one bedroom during summer holidays. And we used to enjoy it so much.
My mother’s house, we always enjoyed people coming and staying in the house. Our house was always full of people. And summer vacation was like a mini fair.
Here, I am listing nine things, which I try to keep at home for the guests (for those who are going to stay one or more days with us), which is comfortable for both.
Nine things (in a pair) for guests:
1.Towels.
2.Tooth brush
3.Night dresses
4.Soap
5.House ware slippers
6.Hair brush
7.Blankets
8.Diet(If you know any health issues about the guest lik diabetes,BP etc)
9.Last but not the least, lots of love, time and hospitality.

Do you have any other ideas! Let me know.

Hi All,

In "Nine and Mine" I am trying to share my 9 ideas or my 9 views on particular subject on many interesting things.
Why nine? Just like that! Because I like number "9". (It rhymes also!).
Sometimes, may be I will not be able to say all 9 things, or I may have more than 9 things to share, but I will try to take only 9 things.
As the name of this blog is connected with kitchen, lets start with the subject kitchen itself.
