Today I woke up late, had brunch, enjoyed sunshine on the roof, and played with a dog. My year-end break is ending soon.
Having an unplanned day gives me peace and happiness as the day guides me instead of me planning it.
I plucked some rose flowers from the plant, ground them, and applied them on my face. When the rose flower paste dried on the face in 15 minutes, I removed it and got a pink face :) (Ha ha ha ha).
Healthy scrub for the skin and my Pink face - :)
I met a horse (his name is Raja in Hindi, but in English it means king) and tried to make him a friend at the same time, I was afraid of him. I tried to talk to him, but I do not know if Raja understood or not.
Raja - The horse
When I was coming back to homestay I saw Mint leaf (In Hindi - Pudina) and decided to make a masala to make Khatta (local dish). This we made with lemon (Big one) and mix the ground spices with sugar.
This is a mix of green and red chili, mint leaf, coriander, garlic, and salt
The old way to grind the species
Lemon, species and sugar
Big Lemon - we call it Nimba or khatta in Hindi
Ready to eat
A sunny place is best to sit and enjoy this dish
Because Aunty had given me butter milk (Lassi in Hindi) to drink and now we had spices, so we sat in the sun and drank the spicy buttermilk.

As I am reading a book called men are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, sitting in the same sunny place I read a few pages and walked a little bit on the field and found an old dry sunflower I ate its seeds.

and then I decided to share my lazy day with all of you. and that is why I am sitting in the warm room and writing this post while sipping hot tea.
This is my favorite room as it is warmer than all the other rooms once the sun is down.
People who have not read my previous post just want to share that I am in Himachal Pradesh, one of the homestays as I have a year-end break.
Thank you for reading!
