Well, by now you’d think we’d all be geniuses at writing about ourselves owing to a gazillion different social platforms these days! I still sometimes draw a blank – not because I don’t have anything to write, it’s just where do I begin? Being from North India (Delhi mostly), I’m a huge foodie at heart and all other organs included. Not only do I love my Butter Chicken and Naan from anywhere in Delhi, I quite enjoy baking my famous cupcakes, cakes and brownies on weekends, and making my friends fat. Thanks to my Dad, who has actually driven from Delhi to Kanyakumari , I’m a sucker for road trips and exploring new places – to discover Europe by road is the dream! Apart from these obvious things about me, I’m an extremely passionate person and love finding joy in the little things in life; yes, enjoying the smell of the earth after the first rain and cuddling in bed watching a movie counts. Gym, Sports, Shopping, Gaming; absolutely anything I can do, I want to do.

But ... Read More »

Banana Choco-Chip Bread

I’ve made it a personal mission of  mine this year to try and make/bake things that I’ve not tried in the past – so the attempt at this recipe stems from there. It’s more of a cake-bread than just a bread-bread and tastes just heavenly. The recipe sounds so easy and no-fuss that you might be skeptical about the outcome, ... Read More »

NH7: The Happy Festival (Pune – 2013)

NH7: The Happy Festival (Pune – 2013)

Happiness is quite a relative term isn’t it? For example, ice cream on Sunday makes me super happy, and some people on the other hand might detest it altogether. Well, I attended the NH7 music festival in Pune recently, and left with a bunch of happy memories. They call it the happy festival; I definitely found my moments of happiness. ... Read More »

Having gone for a fair share of concerts myself, ... Read More »

Here’s to a Healthy Life

Let’s face it – we’re lazy! After driving to work on our potholed riddled roads, spending the entire day on our desks (working towards our future) and then trying to make our way back home, we just have that last ounce of energy to change and watch our favorite show before retiring for the night. That is the average corporate ... Read More »

Black & White – Oreo Cupcakes

My first stint with baking began with those little adorable baby cakes that we now see at almost every other bakery’s display window; their intention is simple – to lure you in!
