Of Vadapao Wednesdays, My Books, Workplace Trinkets – Inner Peace IT IS!!!






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
