A FOODIE HERE, A FOODIE THERE



A foodie is someone who goes beyond just putting food into his or her mouth.  Foodies don’t judge people based on their eating habits, simply because they are too concerned about their own food to even care.  Technically speaking a foodie is someone who breathes, relishes, feels, celebrates and then eats food.   That’s the difference between a foodie and someone who just likes to eat.  The same difference between someone who owns a DSLR  and someone who actually has a sense of photography.

                                                As for me, when I see food, I go eeeeeeee!

So the next time you think you’ve spotted a foodie and sincerely wondering which category he or she may fall in, this checklist might help.

  • ·          Menu cards are souvenirs for them.
  • ·         Their eyes light up if someone recommends a dish they find worthy of having.
  • ·         While others are ready to gulp down the first thing that appears on their plate, foodies  analyse the texture, preparation and presentation.
  • ·         They feel compelled to share their knowledge about a certain dish even if they haven’t been asked.
  • ·         They have a dreamy expression while walking through the aisles in supermarkets.
  • ·         They may even indulge in casual conversation with food-   “Oh my white chocolaty coconut banoffee pie.  It’s been so long since we have met!”
  • ·         Each moment and experience with food is unique and they revel in it.

You needn’t  really go elsewhere for food recommendations if you have such a friend.

Mummy- The Irreplaceable

Mummy,  Amma, Ma. Just hearing this magical word gives a sort of comfort felt by every being in this world. Words can never describe the role a mother plays in the life of a child right from its birth .
My mother is someone who has carved me and shaped me into an individual who I may not say perfect, but does have values that am proud I have inculcated.
My mother, a self- motivated woman has been the sole reason people define me as sorted, head strong , disciplined,  self-driven and above all a ‘good- natured’ human being who has a sense of ‘ justice’.
To this day if I aspire to do something, I owe it all to my mother’s encouragement. Heaven alone knows whether I will ever find such a selfless person anywhere in this world.
Mummy, today I am sitting here in Mumbai beating the humidity, the heat. I miss your touch, the comforting words you tell me, the way you worry about me (though I don’t want you to worry), the way you pamper me. I admit I have often felt it annoying when you aske…

Why traffic in Namma Bengaluru is the best in the world!

Before all you Bengaluru residents kill me for the article heading, read on! I can’t assure you relief from traffic but seriously – I feel for you!




1. You needn’t go anywhere to learn how to be patient.  Half your life will be spent in traffic and that’s how you learn it! P.S :  On second thoughts you might even end up becoming A patient.



2. You might know all the languages in the world and may also know how to speak it in the most refined manner.  However the traffic in Bangalore will teach you something else. The language called- !@#$%*&^%! (censored for obvious reasons!)
3. Google maps is no longer your best friend.  You learn that the time taken is actually inversely proportional to what is shown.  Also you would prefer to take some other route that you discovered.



4. All your plans of saving to buy that latest phone, laptop, dslr have been dropped.  Now all you want is a helicopter! Where can one find one?!
5. You become buddies with the traffic cops. Honestly speaking these peopl…
