My first blog - First love


                                             Comfort food for my mind & soul:

 The first question which pops into my mind every time  I want to write a  blog is: “what do I write about” ?Quite a common one for someone who wants to write one and how? The excitement and the thrill of writing and  posting my very first blog haunts me every time I read one. So i thought let me give it  a try, so here it goes………


I  love food. That’s one thing in my life which I was in love with since birth. I am not a fussy eater at all and thus I can eat every thing that is edible.
Born and brought up in Mumbai explains my  foodie  nature to the fullest. So  I end up eating at  the streets, local joints,& yeah also in the fine dining restaurants, taking chances but enjoying the experience most of the time. The problem is ,am spoilt  for choices .This  doesn’t mean I am  a glutton, but only a  possible quencher of appetite with suitable standards of quality and strong believer of  flavors & value for money .

Food is an important part of every region of the world & in India one can find the most biggest variations throughout the country. This does mean the food is particular to a region, but with the diversity comes the followed migration which brings in its own new cuisine . Strictly street food comes with its own pros and cons. Quality, quantity, taste,hygiene and value for money counts the  most. Quality comes with a price, but this doesn’t mean that street food doesn’t maintain basic hygiene else there wouldn’t have been bizarre crowds in there. Also fine dining may sound glossy but wouldn’t every time guarantee fine food with the assured fine dining experience. But  let me warn you, not everyone has the instinct of  a gourmet !! So  most of the people indulge in their favourite gastonomical delights, thus satisfying their hunger and  moods than bothering about its elaborate procedures. The  emotions which one experiences  are varied as there are some who "Live to eat" and ""Eat to live".“Cooking isn’t rocket science” quite a clichéd quote is partially true if not completely ,as the savored delights sometimes do need elaborate procedures  This wouldn't be a matter of concern to the latter type, but for me it does,as I belong to the former ilk, truely a self confessed foodie.

See how the most basic necessity of life has become my object of fancy.  My love for food  is beyond words & hence it has helped  me to compose my very first blog .  A comfortable topic for my brain & soul which I finally agreed to write about. Not quite acquainted with the classical or rather the structured form of writing , my blog is an amateur attempt at beginning to write one. So in  the future would  write a better one if not polished ,about more things which  would tell you about the other comfort foods for my brain & soul , 
till then::
