Green Peas Stir Fry / Chana Osali

Today morning when I was going to office I saw a very strange incident on the road which I felt every Indian should follow. I was following a water tanker with my bike. Lot's of water was leaking from the tanker's water outlet. We were stuck in a traffic jam and water kept flowing from the tanker. A lady came out from a shop with a big bucket and kept it under the outlet and filled water. The tanker driver did not even realize  The lady was smart, she knows the value of water and made a small attempt to save the leaking water.
I wish every person could make an attempt everyday to save some amount of water.
I really liked this incident which happened today morning and thought I should share it here.

Right now my little one got a story book for me to read out aloud. She always wants to listen to some stories at bed-time. Every other day I should invent a new story :) My hubby's friend sent home 2 story books from The USA to inculcate a book reading hobby in my daughter. She can't read, so I read the stories aloud and I translate them to Konkani so that she may understand. I am going to up my little one to bed now.
