The bliss of visiting close friends from another city, in their hometown, has its perks. By nature I love going to places that are far from fancy but delicious. Only locals know such hidden gems. I’m a poor eater but I love good food. This sharwama in the by lanes of a far-from-quaint Hyderabad was…

Freshly Caught
For some reason in Bombay, Sunday is the best day to have seafood. While it is a fishermen’s home town, because the fast pace of the city, pin boning and cleaning becomes a painful activity. So Sundays, the day off for most working people, becomes the best day for devouring a seafood meal piping hot!
Mini Foods
The Chinatown Street market in Singapore is probably when I first fell in love with miniatures and trinkets. Every time you visit, you will see a new collection of fancy miniatures at jaw-dropping prices. Whatever regret I have of shopping at this place is not picking up enough variety of fake food bowls! Unit next…
Ice Candy
What comes to mind when you think of a beach? The crashing of waves, the feel of sand under your bare feet? Collecting shells, and throwing away the ones showing signs of life in sheer terror?

Food Express
Food displays, if done right, can be very inviting. I am not a big eater, but I love the way things are displayed. That inspired to make me this lovely display case and hunt for foods that would make me drool, especially now, when I have my midnight hunger pangs. What do you fancy eating…
Home Cooked Meals
There is no greater joy than the family sitting down for a meal together after a long day at work. My mother was a working woman, much like me, and none of us would break bread until everyone made it to the dinner table. She cooks because she can fix up a delicious meal;…

Happy Solar New Year
Now several people in a major part of India are oblivious to the fact that south India is made up of five states (Telangana, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala) with distinct languages, cultures and celebrations. While Ugadi marks the new lunisolar year in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the same is celebrated as…
