Me and mine!

I have been searching a reason for this blog....for the longest time.

I tried food, thoughts and other topics of discussion but nothing seems to work in the "long run"

So I guess I'll leave this blog and let it flavor itself! I did not want it to be a recipe blog or a travel one either. I want this to be memorable just like the others; to document my memories just like I did when I was without a blog. A conversation that I remember years later...... a picture that remains in front of your eyes or even an event I remember sharing! I want it to be a a memorable blog, my memorable blog. Like a book, I can flip the pages behind, see and share! Me and mine!

Yummy....in my thoughts!

I wonder how do I get these dishes I create on my blog....
Do I make a recipe blog........naaah!!!!!!!! Too many people do that!!!!
Do I give my experience about it...hmmm that sounds more like it.
A lot of these recipes I try are very routine....mundane...with a dash of my interesting ingredients in it!!!
So maybe my take over the recipe is more someone would like to read.....

Yummy in my thoughts............. it is!!!!

A new beginning!

It's been quite a while since I've blogged....well Aug to Nov was blank on my side...that does not say good things about being a dedicated blogger I suppose!
Well, I've been busy....hmmm a little lazy too.
Been wondering where to drive this blog to?????
I guess I should be driving the blog to wherever it takes me...good to reflect and see what I do in the months passing by.... :-)

So what have I been doing????
I have been very actively cooking - searching for innovative recipes like a million others and creating my own!
I have also been taking pictures.....but that can be talked as a separate blog altogether!!!

Picture it!!!

I love photography...it has been a passion of mine for the longest time. I am surprised how I did not turn it into a career!!! I am at times, called a "photo-maniac"!!! I can carry a camera/camcorder anywhere!!!!
But eventually what matters is a great picture and even greater memories! Me being a stickler for perfection, a lot of hours are gone in mindless editing and archiving but this is one thing I really enjoy :)
Being so far away from home gave me more opportunities and reasons to take pictures so that I'd share with family, friends, etc.
The turning point was the birth of my daughter. It upset me that family wasn't here to witness her development...well they missed the important landmarks and photos were the only way to maintain that communication with them.
Photos are a great way to see how far along you've come. The different phases of life never seem to amaze me....it's a great way to bond and bring family together. My dad is a great photo-lover but in those times things weren't accessible and were expensive too. Digital photography is so accessible - it lets you make mistakes - that's the best part! Kudos to technology!

My first-ever blog!

Hello everyone!
Yet another blog by one more person amongst millions in this virtual world!
For those who would be interested in what makes this blog special????
It's about a woman who is in transition in her life (I guess we all are!!) -
as a dynamic and a new-generation mom,
as a career woman,
as an innovative cook,
as a person always looking for a vent to creativity
as a writer,
as an observer in crowds,
as a person who has fun....in her own quiet way!!
Hope I have fun blogging and you reading it!!!
