My online diary

Recently I was watching one of the shows of an Indian stand up comedian , by name Abish Mathew who was giving motivational talk to students at one of the universities in India. One phrase from his talk that caught my attention was " One for the Kitchen One for Soul". And I thought I should write about this. We , humans , as we call ourselves all suffer from split personality disorder and if someone doesn't then the world calls him "CRAZY". Sounds bit weird, right !! Yes it is. But this is the reality. Most of us would agree with me If I say "what we do is not actually what we want to do". We are so afraid to pursue our passion as our career option that we forcefully mold ourselves to do something for which we have zero interest in .

We possess world's fourth largest Army and our music touches souls of everyone in the world.{ Proud Indian }. But one thing that takes India to a different peak is its "FOOD". "Paani-poori, Bhel - Poori, Samosa chaat, paapadi chaat, paper dosa, uthappam, medu vada, daal vada, mirchi bhaji,paava bhaji,vada paav,dahi vada,...................so on". Search for any color, taste, smell,texture and you would see at least a dozen of Indian dishes lined up under your search results. So what are we waiting for.. let's begin our Journey. I am starting my first food journey from the northern most state of India: Jammu & Kashmir. J&K, as it is popularly known, is a state which is haunted by terrorism and militant attacks. But this doesn't stop people of J&K from spreading love and warmth. And this reciprocate
