ITS SPRING TIME!! AND EASTER WILL FOLLOW SOON Everyday I walk down the same way to pick and drop my daughter to school. The trees which had few leaves now looked like a bride dressed for a wedding, they were covered in spring blooms. I don’t know how many like to stop and admire its beauty but […]

The silent Valley | Japanese Cherry Blossom Cheesecake
The Silent Valley 1 He stood at the threshold of the house, didn’t know which side is his as he grew up believing its his one big playground. 2 The chinar leaves rustled in the wind, only its barks show years of pain. 3 His neighbours don’t open their windows anymore. Lament the sorrow of […]
Flash Fiction | Lemon Meringue cake
It is that time of the year when you pray to god and believe in vitality and resurrection of supreme power. Over the years as written before my prayers have become like begging bowls. I pray only when I am helpless and grief-stricken. At all other times I believe in his presence but not in praying […]
The White Strand | Almond Blood Orange Cake
……..I got up half-dazed and tip-toed into the nursery. The early morning rays streamed through the lace window curtains and made the room look heavenly. I see the bowl of leftover pudding on the table from last night, I see the unfolded clothes on the rack, I see the rattle dangling at the edge of […]
Mother’s Calculator | Easy Homemade Carrot Cake

Basil Panna cotta With Balsamic Berries | Being Healthy
Being a food blogger I am often asked the question about healthy eating. Being a simple software engineer not a dietician or a nutritionist I feel it morally wrong to advise individuals on healthy eating. I also try my best to avoid these tags like vegan, gluten-free, healthy, lactose free, weight losing etc all the […]
The zing thing ! Coca-Cola Cake
Once a upon a time before the food revolution, there existed a time when we drank cola without knowing about its formula and the sugar quotient. This my post is dedicated to those days when life was ignorant but yet fun….. While working in Bombay I used to travel on the central line. That could […]

Beet Red Velvet Cake | Orchard for love
Valentines day is here. I am sheepishly smitten by this too. Though I am yet to understand its essence on this day cause I painted my house red for the year not just for this day. Last week, I did the a Tomato & Beetroot soup which many believed was a V-day post but ironically […]
