About 
After two years of blogging..err.. “Food” Blogging, up with the 100th post and the celebration,
I badly need to admit something, honestly..
I Hate Cooking!!..
.... I see a few confused faces... but, this is for 'Real'........ Apologies !!.. :)
I prefer cooking as an ‘Art’, something creative, something traditional, a delicacy or may be something presented in a stylish way.
...but definitely not to tire myself one after the other the whole day, whipping something up in a hurry burry way meant for breakfast, children hurrying to reach school on time and V to office…and a sumptuous lunch prepared with fullest effort mostly going “Unrelished”or “Untouched”, failing to be have had on time or even if ; in a hurried way.
The snack time next which calls at 4pm; children of course back from school but gulping down/swallowing in a haste, again to step out for extra classes/tuitions(inevitable in our surroundings)...
...then comes the 'mighty' Dinner time; chidren having the same, watching TV / fighting / (the Tom & Jerry way) and V having it as a part of some ‘nightwalking’, after
Those are the normal weekday scenarios.
Yet, I do have the Sundays, all for myself, cooking for the family, with pleasure, care, the favourites, something tried repeatedly, authentic and simple…
I strain less, receive a very satisfactory feed back and something to be happy about is that the family gathers round the table and is ‘Together’ which means a real LOT to me :)
I can hear you scream now ;)…
"Then why on earth do you need to blog, wasting the much wanted Cyber space?"
I Love photography, food photography to be precise and friends…the lovely virtual friends who make my day, the moments I treasure, being something unexplainable…
Above all, blogging has drastically become my major hobby which has helped me to find myself, making a tremendously confident 'Me'!..:)
This post, the 101st, throws light to the hobbies I was obsessive about, before the blogging days…
Let the Pictures Speak :)..
My Sister gave a helping hand to finish this hand painted saree..If only she'd not been stalking my place, I'd have 'cleverly avoided' mentioning her name and got the credits all for myself :-(...... ;-) ;-)...
Ur paintings are wonderful. It has a definite style comparative to European works. Rich, bold and splendid use of colors. i think u should try portraits too.
ReplyDeletesearch for the works of van gogh. Probably u will find things of interest.
