Questions I was asked:-

1. Describe yourself in one word?

CARING. I do care a lot about my near and dear ones. Call me an emotional fool.. Hmm.. Maybe I am!

2. Why do you blog?

The main reason I started blogging is that I simply wanted to share my passion for cooking & baking. I also wanted to connect with other people who share the same interests in cooking and make new friends along the way. Blogging to me seemed like a close knit group of people who really support and uplift each other.  I wanted to be part of that. I’ll never forget the feeling when I received my first comment on my first post and since I’ve gradually been building up a small group of friends of which I appreciate every single one of them. I’m motivated each day my fellow blogger’s comment and now I love blogging.

 

3. What is the difference between a blog and a personal diary?

My blog is like a personal diary to me started with the intention of sharing my culinary experiences, my thoughts and learning so much from all the lovely people out here to help me improve and bring out the best in me.

 

4. What do you want to change?

If I could change something, I would change people's perspective about themselves and help them realize their true potential so that they understand that it's possible to achieve their dreams if they just TRY.

 

5. What do you like the most?

Wow! There are so many to list.. I love spending time with my family, talking about each and everything with my hubby, playing with my son, chatting with my Mom, fun time with my sisters, cuddling with my nieces and hanging out with my friends. I also like a relaxed evening with a good book or a movie. Also, I like cooking, baking, decorating the house and of course, eating.

 

6. What would you prefer at any time in your life, love or money and why?

Love coz there is no point having lots of money and no loved ones around to share it with.

 

7. What is your weakness?

My family. I love and care too much about them.

 

8. Who is your role model and why?

For me, my biggest role model is my Mom. I remember since I was a child, everyday she would cook for us, even if it was a simple dal to the royal exotic Biryani. We seldom had outside food. This is where my interest in cooking began. My Mom has been incredibly supportive throughout. My father passed away when we were very young and she raised us on her own. Whatever I am today, I owe it to her. She means a lot to me.

None - I believe in HUMANITY!
