Google recently showed me this picture from 1994 when I was 12 years old. It's strange to think back to those days when we lived in a motel room. All 5 of us were in one room. My mom had to clean great rooms for free a part of "rent".

Moral of the story is that if you are a parent trying to teach your child a basic survival skill, try not to make it all about pleasing some man. Instead, make it about being independent.

Me: you can't sleep in contact lenses you need to know how to take them out at the end of the day. Pt: ohh, you can't sleep in them? Me: no. You cannot. Pt: I can't touch my eyes. Do you really have to touch your eyes to use contacts? *I have take a second before responding

This pic is from my first trips to India in 2004 after immigrating to California in 1993. I left India at the age of 11 and returned for the first time as a 22 yr old adult. My family in India is very conservative and I was scared/nervous about visiting.

Spending my birthday weekend in our fav Ulster County. As wonderful as this County is, @gauravsabnis is the best chef in at least 50 mile radius so he's hard at work on my multi course birthday dinner. Starting w/Tomatoes & mozzarella drizzled w/olive oil & local Sourdough bread

@gauravsabnis One more reason for me is this: You love cooking and I HATE it. Growing up in a traditional family where I was told "what man will want to marry a girl who can't cook?" this was a very important factor. I'd put that towards the top of the list 😍

I'm always so lost when I get asked what relevant skills, knowledge, and experience I bring. I don't even know where to begin. Talking myself up always feels weird and unnatural. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Leave it to @gauravsabnis to create delicious dinner without fire because it's rained almost nonstop for the last 3 days ❤

Sometimes I feel like my friends don't know me at all. Her: Hey Rupal, can I ask u cooking questions about tikka masala? Me: umm... you can ask but I'm not sure if I'll be able to answer. You do know I don't really cook, right Her: I guess what I meant was, is Gaurav around? 🤣

3 yrs ago, I signed up to be a poll worker. Polls workers are usually retired people doing their civic duty. Because of COVID, they decided to stay at home. The call went out to get younger people to become poll workers. I signed up. I studied. I showed up at 5 am on election day

A few years later, I visited India with mom. Since this rishta was from family friends, mom and I visited this "perfect" guy at his home.
