About Me

Hi, I am a person with an interest in many areas and am always on the lookout for something new.  I have realized that there is no dearth of knowledge and there is so much to learn.

I have been happily married for 31 years and am leading a very contented life of a homemaker.  I have found a true friend in my husband.  I look to him for guidance and we never make any decision alone.  He always encourages me to explore new dimensions in life.  His work makes him travel extensively and I accompany him some times. This travel helps enhance my learning and also my outlook towards life.  

I have two wonderful and great children. My daughter, Pallavi (PJ) is pursuing medicine and son Aditya (Adi) is a software engineer. I used to teach them when they were young but they have now become my teachers and I listen with great pride when they tell me or suggest what I should be doing. They both are a great source of encouragement for me and I adore them both.  I could not have asked for better children and for that I am very thankful to God.  

My parents were my first teachers and I have absorbed a few of their qualities. My father a surgeon, whom I greatly admire, left for his heavenly abode when I was quite young. Babba, I still miss you.

Cooking was something which came naturally to me from my mother who even at the age of 80 gives me ideas for creating a new dish and collects recipes ! She is very talented and I don't think I can ever come up to her standards. Maa you are a superwoman!

Ahh, why am I writing this blog and what am I going to post in it? 

My blog would cover a range of topics.  I love travelling and I am going to write on things which have enhanced my knowledge.  Then, I seriously hate throwing things away and get a sense of satisfaction by recycling them.  Many of the posts might be making use of things which we would normally throw away.

I enjoy cooking and love to experiment with food.  But, I honestly hate to do the usual day to day cooking ! When my children left for their university education, I started learning painting. You would be seeing a lot of those paintings in my projects.

Having been a teacher, my inclination is to impart my learning to others even though my husband says I am too bossy when I do that!  I feel knowledge is all sharing and we learn everyday from this exchange. That is the purpose of writing this blog.

Earlier, I would be ashamed of asking questions thinking that people would find me stupid but now, I am ready with a blast of questions.  I have questions for every situation!  My husband some times says, " I am so afraid of your questions.  You ask questions which I can't think even exist !"

Through this blog, I am going to answer some of those questions and I hope you would find it interesting.
