Without moving a finger!

-


                                         We were driving off to a friend's home for dinner and as usual, Ms I shouted to us, that she wants to put her songs to listen in the car. We wanted to listen to the radio for a change, but she was stubborn enough to have it her way. The phone was paired to the car's bluetooth. However, we were also looking at the map for directions in the phone and could not quickly navigate to Spotify and search for songs. We were also tasked with shutting her up at the same time by keeping a song she liked quickly. 

That's when an idea hit and we started to call Siri for help. After calling her a couple of times, she responded.  We asked "Could you please play a new song of Blackpink?", which is apparently Ms I's current favorite band. After repeating our request a couple of times, Siri exclaimed "Give me one moment to open Spotify and play the song". We waited patiently and less than a minute later, the song started to play. Yay :)

It was a well executed task, without moving a finger!

The next time someone demands to play a song in the car- you know what to do :)

Swimming with the Whale sharks in Oslob, Cebu, Philippines

    Have you heard of swimming with the whale sharks?  I had not heard about it, I had only heard about "Whale watching" until now. The first whale watching I did was in Boston with friends, where we were taken 25 kms into the ocean and watched some beautiful whales jumping out of the water and also spotted some playful dolphins, all while shivering in the freezing cold, windy weather. This was once upon a time in 2007.  The second time was 15 years later, in 2022, while holidaying in Sydney with cousins. I can recollect this more clearly as this was in the recent times. The Catamaran boat that took us into the ocean had a lot of turbulence due to the high tides that occur when we venture out deep into the ocean. Saw some people throwing up. We were all given puke bags by the staff to be prepared for such incidents. I found a way to not feel the turbulence too much- I just lay down on a 3 seater sofa and held on tightly to the rails of the seat in front with my eyes closed an

Bonjour - A word that can change a city's perception of you :)

What Paris has to offer                            When you walk down a street and see colorful macaroons in every other cafe, you know you have landed in France. Any child or adult could gawk at these pretty looking things, placed in different patterns, inside glass windows. Macaroons are often baked in edible rice paper placed on a baking tray and the word means "paste" in Italian, referring to the original almond paste used in them.                           In a bakery, when Baguettes and croissants are more common than English white or milk bread, you know you are in France. Crepes are quite widely found too and most cafes can quickly whip up a crepe for your child, with their favorite Nutella or strawberries or cheese.                           If you are asked to name one of the most connected cities in the world, Paris should be on your mind. The metro allows you to reach any nook and corner of the city with ease.                          Auchan or Carrefo
