A new start!

I always had this awkward feeling of doing nothing useful for the past 9 years after my wedding. Waiting for the right time will not help one at all. It is the perseverance and hard work which fetch a productive outcome.There are a few who inspired me to blog. Its a pleasure to mention my cousin Arvind,and my sister-in-law Nithya Seelan who motivated me to share my thoughts on the internet.

Most of us happen to think that food from outside is the best in taste and that they have a lot many varieties to choose from. But the secret is all those delicacies can be prepared at home with less cost and in a healthy way too. Here I would like to share some recipes which are basically Indian. I can also show you how to prepare yummy desserts and savouries at home. Do try them and give me your feedback & suggestions.
