ஜவ்வரிசி உப்புமா

Jawwarisi uppuma with powdered nuts and parsley. Soaked the jawwarisi previous night itself with small amount of water and sautee it along with the nut powder and parsley the next morning for breakfast. A tad on the spicy side but tolerable still.
This is the frappucino that rema had yesterday at milford mall.

Ability vs Disability

protein balls and spaghetti look very delicious.

Ability vs disability.
Can a person with disability especially person with Downs Syndrome be useful to his family and the society at large?
Rugs my son does all the beds in the morning, assists in cleaning the house on a day to day basis, puts away all things in the proper place once he returns from work. At work he is one of the very active person involved in the day to day activities of the workshop. What then is his problem? His speech is not clear and he has problems in managing time. Their daily activities will be recorded for further discussions.
