Many of you would agree that a five day working is such a breeze for
every working professional. More so for
a lady who has to juggle between home and office. By the time you settle down with Monday and
Tuesday, Wednesday smiles at you and what more than when your canteen guy
serves you yummy vadapao (just the right spices and crunchiness ) I love the way he gets the vadapao in the big
container and the soft paos (lovely baked ones) and the spicy and hot dry
garlic chatni accompaniment.
When vadapao romances the cutting chai, it’s a wedding of cuisines. Have always been a lover of vadapaos and
cutting chais right from childhood. The spicy interface between me and vadapao
still continues and then the saying goes “EK SE MERA KYA HOGA”. Yes, I can definitely eat two of those and I
can say this with pride- hahahah.
The sight of the vada making its way into the soft pao and then taking
the bite of it is something that I cannot explain and is truly beyond my
comprehension. Mumbai, vadapao, cutting chai are all synonymous and
just gel so wonderfully.
I have made my workplace more fun loving and lively since I always
believe that the workspace has to be bright and happy. One spends around 8
hours plus at this second home, So I have these happy faces and smiley icons
that peps me up, helps me concentrate on my work, helps me pen down my favorite
blogposts during the lunch time. There
are books that pep me up like the Tagore works.
You will find Louise Hay, Cheryl Richardson on my desk and I love these
books, these books have made friends with me.
Then there is Rhonda Bryne and Mahatria Ra and of course my all-time
favorite Dr. Wayne Dyer. The bonding and friendship is just perfect with these
books – I don’t leave them and they for sure don’t leave me. These guys are so
much a part of me, my life, my workplace in its entirety. They play a huge role in my life and it is
thanks to Maddy (aka Mahadevan – my hubby) who instilled an interest of reading
in my life – its been more than 15 years of reading and there is no stopping
ever since!!
Can there be any other deadly combination – vadapao, chai and your favorite
book –Aaah!! Truly truly peaceful.
P.S:
Here you can experience the charm, beauty and gastronomical experience
of my favorite Vadapao without straining your eyes and brains too much (check
the photograph). I love my desk so much
and relate to every item here – they are so much a part of me – the photographs
of travel, life quotes, positive affirmations, My favorite books, coffee mug,
the Morrocon glass where my money plant is evergreen, the hand painted glass bottle with yet another
plant – they say hello to me every morning- the Buddha peacefully meditating on
these lovely books give me the encouragement to write something different and
new- something which I love doing.
So here’s to some happy writing
-More to think, more to write, more to feel happy about!!
Love
Rekha Mahadevan
