I absolutely have no regrets of quitting my professional job (specially after I started blogging) and dedicating my life in bringing up my kids with good ethics, nature and most importantly a good human being.
• I love cooking and experimenting with food. Though we make it a point not to waste any food for its been a blessing to us. We have to be thankful to god for all the abundant food we have, there are millions and trillions in this world who starve to death.
• Other than cooking, I love singing, dancing, reading books with my kids, watching food channel and replicating any of the recipes which I like. Last but not the least, thanking god for being with us and making our faith even more stronger.

My answers to all the questions Saumya has asked:

1. Tell me one thing that you love about yourself ?

My Eyes ! I love my eyes ! and always try to make them look brighter using a kohl or eye pencil 🙂

2. What’s your favourite dessert?

I love Ras malai very much. I make it very often and Its always there in my refrigerator every ready. The minute one batch finishes the next will be ready in few hours.

3.What’s the funniest thing that ever happened to you ?

Yes! I remember when I was teaching the concept of fruits to my 2.5 yr old and there was this fruit, ” AVOCADO” and I started to split the words for him to make the pronunciation easier and said – “AVO” “CADO” and my toddler replies- “API” “NDO” then I  again stressed and said “AVO-CADO” and he said “API-ANDO” then I said “SAY- AVO” and he repeated “AVO” and then I said “CADO” and he promptly replied “CADO” I repeated the process for about 5 more times and the sixth time I said, “AVOCADO” and my munchkin replies “APIANDO” 🙂 The funniest part is my hubby sitting right in front of us on a couch sipping his drink and enjoying the scene ….

4. Name the person who inspires you the most ? And why ?

My Mother ! Its beyond words to explain why she inspires me. She was a social worker , working for the betterment for blind, handicapped and needy. She did it with no returns and she did this on the base of  humanity. She is an amazing cook and I have witnessed her cook for any number of guests who visited us without informing. All these things and she never complained. We are three children and she has given her blood and sweat in our up-bringing. Our education, our co-curricular activities and everything else. I  literally fall short of words. With two kids, I loose my cool at times and I always wonder how my mother did in raising three of us 🙂

5. What’s the most important lesson that your life has taught you so far ?

“Never blame a day in your life. Good days give you memories and bad days give you experience. Both are equally important in our lives to make you a seasoned person.” Last but not the least, Never give up – Have patience !
