Food is travel

-
When I go on a vacation to places with varied cultural backgrounds and ethnicity, I can’t help but rate my vacation based on only ONE prime factor - FOOD.
Travel and food almost always go together! 

Recreating the magic from kitchens across the world right from my cozy kitchen is quite a way to explore the different cultures. 

I bought myself a beautiful new induction cooktop (and a clad wok omg) for Christmas. Now, I’m vacationing in my kitchen, traveling with family to some of the cool/warm places in the world: no security checks or airline delays or pricy tickets or stomach bugs or screaming kid or apprehensive germaphobic mom.

Merry Christmas to all.

(Here's a snapshot of one of the Christmas Eve meals: A Vietnamese-ish summer roll with peanut-spicy sauce, Vegan Pad Thai and a Vegan Fruit cake..everything got sold out in no time :))

Geometric Life

-
Geometry and Life - Many a time I've wondered why I even learnt Geometry ..etc., at school. Recently I did realize how these come in so handy while interpreting Climate models (and so on) , or when it comes to "handling real life".  Had a "seriously funny" (:)) conversation with a friend yesterday. At some point he mentioned something about  "drawing parallels  between two people". Now, this drove me to write this blog post.  "Geometric Rules of Life" ( Is there  a rule without an exception?)  1) Parallel Lines of life  - People with like minds "will never" meet. So if you find someone who thinks just like you "every single time", please don't conclude that he/she is the right match for you.  Note: Weak rule. 2) Perpendicular Lines of Life - We think alike just once..but that's okay  since we get to meet at the "right" time (right angles).. 3) Curvy Vs Straight lines of Life - One person is really focu...
