My year in food 2023: Tasty


I began cooking when I was in law school. The skills helped me tremendously when I moved to the Netherlands to complete my Masters. The aroma of the spices and the beauty in the hues of the food that I prepared inspired me to click photos. I began exploring various cuisines especially when I moved abroad for work. Multitudes of food bloggers and vloggers motivated me to try new recipes. I began developing my own unique recipes being inspired by the resources online. I realised that my gastronomical interests were worth pursuing as my family, friends and I began loving the food that I prepared. In 2023, I tried various recipes. The focus was on north-Indian, Italian and Indo-English cuisines. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the process as well as the food. It was calming and comforting. I hope to share one unique recipe per week from 2024. 

Here are the links for some of the food that I prepared this year along with comments:

  1. Paneer Jalfrezi Vegetables can be tasty
  2. Aglio E Olio One of the best Pastas I've ever had
  3. Cauliflower Jalfrezi Unique
  4. Matar Paneer Magic of spices
  5. Kadai Paneer Nice 
  6. Rajma Masala Comfort food
  7. Vegan cake chocolates my favourite

My Year in books 2023--memorable journey

  I managed to read 18 books in 2023. Overall, it was an enthralling and magical experience. I almost lived with the characters in these books and in the places narrated. I read regularly back in school. Over the past few years, my interests were varied. I spent most of my time working. Health, wellness and music occupied most of my free-time. It was in 2022 that I began reading again. Being environed by readers, I picked up Sooley. I read a bit and moved to complete my lifetime favourite "The Class" by Erich Segal. It was the right book at the right time. It inspired hope and strength in me when I needed it the most. Ever since, there has been no looking back. I picked up one book after another. My schedule didn't permit me to read more than 18 books. But, I must say that I enjoyed each of the books. Hope to make more time for books in the coming year.  A few words on the ones that I read in 2023 1. John Grisham's  Sooley   Heart touching  2. Bill Bryson's...

But not all of us can afford those expensive vacations. Some of us simply don't have the time to travel often. We can obtain similar soul satisfying experiences from a few other endeavours when travel isn't on our cards. Here I list 7 classy things to do when you can't afford travel.  1. Reading books📚, travel books, magazines and everything you love to devour : I fondly recollect hearing from one of my inspirations, "When we can't travel, we read". Books are a great way to escape into another world. The joy of swimming through a good book is something only book lovers can vouch for. Travel books proffer an experience that is very close to getting transported to another world. In fact, it's much better than watching travel shows, although you can combine ...

‘The Class’ by Erich Segal: Lifetime favourite

  It was transformational and uplifting to read ‘the class’—one of Segal’s best books over a period of ten years having completed around half of the book a decade ago. Swivelling back, I don’t regret the time taken for I almost grew older with the characters. It’s truly heartening to notice how their unswerving confidence positively shaped my perceptions about everything in life from education, love, and politics to perseverance, success and the real world! As they grow out of the protective walls of Harvardian life, their lives take unexpected turns. This is what makes the book a must read for someone who yearns to make a difference. It is indeed a perfect melange of depth and light-hearted jest. Jason Gilbert—as Segal puts it—is certainly the kind of man every parent would want as a son and every woman as her lover. I recollect laughing and almost crying with each passing page. Segal’s literary elegance will surely float in our minds for a very long time. It's a book that I woul...
