An enlightening short film that I came across a few days ago
So like I say don’t worry, drink chai!
My Tea For The Moment: Regular black Lipton Tea made with boiling water and some fresh mint leaves. A friend of mine served me this once and I’ve been a fan of it ever since that day. Thank you friend!

I don’t know if you guys heard but today was all about the balloon boy! When I first saw the title I was like oooh a real life “UP” maybe? Ahh that would be so cool! Finally, I would be able to travel around the globe in the cheapest way possible. Okay so it might be a little risky, scary, and perhaps a little too adventurous, hmm…yeah I can see being attacked by birds especially Hitchcock’s “Birds” they were all so creepy, and there is the whole thing with coming into a plane’s way but hey let’s not go there, yikes and what if all the balloons popped!? I mean are helium balloons really durable? And of course am I really qualified as a grumpy old person yet? But then does it really matter? At least they take you up, up and away and you don’t have to worry about checking in or paying fees for your luggage, see what I’m saying (taking a sip of my hot beverage) Ahhh…lovely! Ok so how did I get here, YES! The balloon boy!
So after all that serious thinking I actually read the article and saw the picture of the runaway balloon. Two things, one the balloon boy is really not a balloon boy because guess 
what? He never even got on the balloon! Whaaat!? Yeah, that’s what I said! He was actually just hiding in the attic because his father had yelled at him earlier. It was his older brother who told the dad that “Falcon” that’s the kids name might have taken a flight! And you can imagine the rest of the horror! But fortunately little Falcon is just fine. And second, this is no “UP” kind of balloon ride! I was so disappointed to see a gray flying saucer looking balloon instead. Really? What is this? Man, I was really hoping to see thousands of colorful balloons with an attached house floating around.
Anyways the good news is little Falcon is out of hiding and his father will try never to yell at him again. Unfortunately on the other hand people are now debating whether or not this whole thing was real or a hoax? I don’t know and I don’t care! But in case you want to hear the whole interview, check out not the balloon boy and his family in an interview in the following link.
My tea for the moment: Lipton‘s Decaffeinated Black Tea. Try it with some milk and sugar or without with a touch of mint. Either way it’s a great black tea for such a brrrr…cold weather!

You know something really interesting happened to me the other day. I came home hungry as usual and as I was about to think about eating, this lady that I have never talked to but lives on my floor brought me a dish of chicken Biryani! How many times does that happen in life? That you’re hungry and someone knocks on your door and hands you a free plate of food! It’s a miracle people! I mean it’s different if you know them but for it to come from a complete stranger, that’s crazy! I know what you’re thinking, be careful. Yeah I know, what if they drug me or something? Don’t worry, I ignored her husband’s dinner invitation for a special holiday during our elevator travel few days ago. As my cousin and I discussed, they could totally drug me and make my body disappear and no one will ever know! Ah then for many years everyone will wonder as to what happened to my body. By the way just so you know, this was a South Asian rice dish that I just love! I particularly love the Sindhi Biryani that my mom makes, it’s just yummy! There are many different kinds but this one is from province of Sindh in Pakistan. I don’t have my mom’s recipe but you can look at the image and get an idea of the recipe at this link http://www.ehow.com/how_4547771_cook-delicious-pakistani-food.html
My tea for the moment: Tapal Danedar black tea, my family’s favorite! It’s a very popular brand of Pakistan. Try it with some milk and sugar like the Pakistani way. If you have never heard of this brand, you can check out a couple of their interesting ads here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3fDSB-my2U, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qXS7eYbuX8
