“Ten Years of Blogging” … A Blessing in Disguise.


“Ten Years of Blogging” with Sri. Hari’s Blessings I complete a decade of blogging .… the journey of a thousand miles always begins with the first step; isn't it ??? … some would say a pretty long time while some would say is it?? what would I say ??? … definitely a blessing in disguise … Thank You 

** As I often say, life is not about being always duty bound, but about leading a meaningful one, by spreading love and happiness. Good food plays an important role in binding families and relationships. For me, It was a wonderful culinary journey, just like that of a caravan filled with people trying to reach some destination …

** Unfortunately, a few left for their heavenly abode leaving a huge void in my life, while some dropped midway at various destinations of their own, thankfully many more stayed on to become lifetime friends. A long time indeed that has kept me on toes most of the time despite the hiccups, repeated humps, ups and down.

** There is still a long way to go, no time to rest, no time to crib above all definitely no time for regrets. The body tires but the mind is always active, there was a time when I blogged more often, at times it was multiple posts a day, however, with time we all slow down though I would have liked to do that much more, that’s life, I guess.

** I must mention that there was a hectic ride in between from Apr 2017- Dec 2021 in food group “Konkani Delicacies” started by me with the sole intention of promoting our traditional GSB Konkani Saraswat delicacies, unfortunately, it ran into trouble waters and not wanting to demean the group policies, it was deactivated.

** There is in no way any bitterness, as I always understood that anything unused, unfinished, unresolved, unrecognized, unwanted is always an excess baggage that just droops our shoulders and is pointless to carry on. I am sure my many of you will agree with me that one should quit when on top, for best reasons.

** It was a pleasant and wonderful ride which I do miss at times as not only did it keep me busy but I had made thousands of virtual friends from whom I learnt a lot, be it about food or otherwise. No issues, with so many friends here still to support, the ride further will hopefully be traveled with more pleasure and lesser anxieties .

** Food is a vast subject and just like in any other field there is always scope to learn more that at times it makes me wonder at God’s beautiful creation. Those perfect and beautiful looking veggies- fruits we comes across can be developed into something exotic, tasty, tummy satisfying heartwarming meal, isn’t that wonderful ???

** I am foodie; my mind always gets boggled as I browse through net and is at loss of choice. While my heart wants to try and savour them all, my mind puts hold on breaks of limitations reminding to keep a check on health/ ageing issues as the luxury of eating Amma’s prepared goodies uninterrupted, are childhood days gone by.

** The key word when it comes to food is not depriving oneself but keeping to limitations and letting the worries rest. On my part, I have tried to do justice by sharing whatever little I know and if it has been cooked in someone else,’s kitchen, laid on the table and relished by family members in satisfaction, then I am blessed.

** There are plenty of my own recipes which I would like to share in coming days and I am also eager to learn more, try them out and share here too, after all “Sharing is Caring”. Do make it a point to cook traditional dishes at home, serve it with love to your family so that they are not lost but continued for generations to come.

** My heartfelt thanks to each one I came across from day 1 to day 3650 (all of ten years of blogging) for your kind support without which this journey would not have been meaningful. There are around 3438 entries here that include my thoughts_n_notes, small stories, recipes etc. penned down time to time, do browse through in leisure.

OM Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya ... 
may Sri. Hari bless each home with happiness, health, success and wealth .... 
Thank You, Stay Safe, Stay Blessed, Spread Happiness …

** Disclaimer : These are Just a few thoughts of my own that I pen down from time to time and not extracted from anywhere. I just love going down the memory lane and pen them down or again love writing whatever that touches my heart be it on any subject and this time I felt it necessary to thank each one of you on my completion of 10 yrs of Culinary Journey. However, it is not meant to offend/ hurt anybody's sentiments, do excuse if done, as it is not intentional. The picture has been designed by me and sole credit remains to this blog. Having written my thoughts and notes, I always conclude that LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, there is so much out there to see and enjoy, bad days are like a phase that will pass away. Always be Positive, have Faith In God, he knows the best for us, and does so at appropriate time … do end the year 2024 with a thankful note and begin the year 2025 with new hope and joy ... Stay Safe- Blessed,
