Sunita's Sooji Upma
"Here in Mumbai I had a maid named Sunita who worked for us from 1st of November to the 1st of December. She is quite good at her job, i.e., cooking, and taught me to make upma, an Indian breakfast, in a style different from my usual one. My Dad enjoyed it for breakfast this morning. Sunita is no longer working for us because she stole my expensive sandals and I gave her a sack cos she laughed at my pain of losing my favourite sandals and pretending she didn't know where they were. But I am glad that I have this recipe to cook and cherish forever!"

Worked part time as a Telemarketer in Oman in the Crowne Plaza Hotel. <br /> <br />2. Worked as a Certified Professional Tarotist (Tarot Card Reader) and done accurate predicitions for many people from different parts of the world, most memorable of which is the reading I did for my college Law lecturer and it came true. <br /> <br />3. Written nearly 1000 poems several of which have been published in leading newspapers, ezines and magazines both in Oman and India. <br /> <br />4.
