The Onion has spoken.....

As the sun submerge under the ocean and the day wears it night gown. It's time for me to unwind. Unwind the tangles of my chaotic mind. Each tangle constituted of a thousand questions. Each question coloured in different shades of doubt.As the night completely settles. I sit silently pondering over the questions of basic existence. Something on the lines of:what to cook for dinner?. This is a very pertinent question(mind you). My entire day (and sometimes) nights are occupied in thinking and planning about food.

Food seem to be the sole reason of my existence. The thought of a sumptuous platter is enough to bring deep harmony to my entire being. As it is very rightly said " there is no love more sincere than love of food". At least it rings the truth in my case. My love for food is unconditional (anything will do when I am hungry). And I know it will last forever.

I must specify here that my love for food is not restricted to my palate. I love cooking food. I've been deeply amazed by the alchemy of cooking since I was very young.It is this love of cooking that has motivated me to buy so many books on cookery. And have found an exclusive corner of my library for themselves. I am addicted to all kind of cooking shows on TV. The square ones as well the curvy ones.

Cooking is extremely therapeutic: I am almost tempted to say; it is a unique form of meditation (at least in my case). The slow repetitive moves in clock wise direction or sometimes more frantic zig - zag kind, somehow align all the five senses along with the mind to focus on its sole purpose to create a delicious meal.

It is this love that motivated me to start this a blog. To share my deep, bright and sometimes ridiculously sweet thoughts on cooking..........
