I blended Nungu with milk he liked that too.

BEAT THE HEAT!!!

Chennai is so hot nowadays, can't go out in the morning. My routine all has changed because this weather and kids are also home. Even to buy vegetables I am going in the evening.

I don't even feel like standing in the kitchen, I will be sweating all the time because of the heat. But when I serve them both of them say Amma Super aa erukku, I will be recharged :-) .
