My first blog - Divine Aromatics

"Food is the ingredient that binds us together." 

With this quote, I commence my journey in food blogging. Why a food blog? That is what I had been asking myself for quite some time. Cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, electric cars being currently discussed around the globe, to choose a food niche was a daunting task.

As an Engineer and a German linguist, there were series of topics that I could have chosen. But when it comes to food, there’s a different level of dopamine released in my body. As an Indian, I consider myself lucky enough to have tried diverse dishes, and the best part is, there’s always something different to try. South Indian breakfast, North Indian meals, delicious snacks, Rajasthani cuisine, Bengali cuisine, the list can go on and on.

Now the important question - Do I cook? The answer would be Yes and No. I cook on occasions whenever I come across any new recipe. Last year when I was left alone in Pune due to lockdown, there was no choice for me than to cook myself as my maid had stopped coming. I was in great dilemma when the lockdown got declared all of a sudden. YouTube videos, phone calls to my mom and sister for recipes, and the learning that I got from my mom helped me in those challenging times. I explored a new dimension in my life when I put my heart out in cooking. I did cook few toothsome dishes (obviously me being the only one to taste it). We learn and understand so much when we work on things independently. That is when I realized that cooking is not an easy task. I owe so much to my mom for being so patient all these years and making sure that I got the best home-cooked food.

Food is not just fuel for the body but an emotion, a divine feeling. That was a brief introduction about me being a food enthusiast. I have few things lined up that I would like to share with you all. Do comment and express your opinion if you connect with my thoughts.

See you all soon.
