On the last solo trip I went to in May this year, I managed to visit Meghalaya. I had relatives there – but I never really got down to visiting them because you know – life. Before I booked myself in to this trip I got several warning signs from my forever paranoid Papa who…

Patterns and a mid-year post
I think i see a pattern in the way I blog. The first half of the year is super busy and mind boggling with the amount of chores that I have to get done – like providing your tax proofs to your company, getting your child settled in school (in my case homeschooling), then filing…
Looking for home-cooked food..at restaurants
Looking for homecooked food in a restaurant? A lot of us do this, looking not just for food but also memories.
Here comes Ideal: THE ice cream of South Canara
Ideal’s is the ideal place to go when you want some indulgence in your holiday. This particular branch of the iconic ice cream brand from Mangalore is the first and the oldest. My mum used to take me when I was about 6-7 years old when we went to Mangalore and I took my 6…
Refuse the straw: Bake House Cafe
It might seem to many that I hadn’t eaten in a while but just got too lazy to post and write long descriptions😜 A weekend ago I went to this lovely place called the Bake House Cafe. The place had a kind of a ‘forced’ vintage or retro look – I don’t know but a…

I always wanted to learn to make bread, had it in my yearly goals list for two years (which i, of course procrastinated forever) and I learnt to make bread finally at the APB Cook Studio taught to us by the very effervescent Shekhar! The workshop was…
Feeding frenzy in Saigon, Vietnam
Yes yes i know i am late by almost month to write this food blog but life happened and my blogging got relegated to ‘i should do this some day’. I took my ‘not-so-solo’ trip to Vietnam last month and i had a blast – to say the least. My friend accompanied me for a…
Holiday post – Mangalore
Mangalore is home and whenever I am here my brains don’t function. It is so relaxing here and so silent, you really want to shut down. What I normally do when at home, is that I sleep, read and eat. Speaking of eating it actually took me to eat some amazing food today to wake…
Memories and Possessions
I don’t shop during holidays and very little when not on one (ok that isn’t entirely true…). You can say i have consciously stopped buying unnecessary stuff so i can travel more than i already do. While i avoid picking up random ‘things’ from my trips, I usually like to bring a part of what…
