Namz…the high-priestess of the ladle and the wok, the multi-cuisine expert, the sweetheart and the most eligible candidate from most of my friends to be nominated as ‘Annapurna’, the girl with the magical fingers. Her cooking is divine. It’s love and care whisked with ingredients and served to perfection.
We had our picnic this Sunday. As [...]

I make these friendly guest appearances and then disappear for weeks, only to resurface and then again get back into my shell. I know, that’s not a nice thing to do but work committments keep me occupied…afterall ‘paapi pet ka sawaal hai’. Pet? I’m hungry…let me see what I can eat.
Hell! There’s nothing. Well, technically [...]

This year [...]

Some radio station is celebrating Mysore Pak Dday, today. Yuck! They’re selling 1 kg of that inedible dish for Rs 99 instead of Rs 200. I wouldn’t buy it even if it was on sale for Rs 9. I think the guys at the radio station must’ve had a platterful of IT stuffed down their [...]

Not thinking about the calories, [...]
Forgive me, almighty weighing machine for I haven’t walked for 2 days. Forgive me for having oily puris for lunch, a bar of chocolate at tea-time, cheese topped pizza and yummy pasta in white sauce for dinner followed by a few pieces of mithai as dessert. Please give me the strength and enough guilt to [...]

This is an honest confession - I have a sweet tooth (I wonder how that phrase came into use - should ask google for help). I simply love sweets and mithais. I sometimes even dream of them. Yummy mithais drooling and dipping in the sweet syrup. The glint of freshly prepared mishthis. (Umm!) Kaju katri, [...]
