As I told you before’…This couple of months of traveling episode, is pretty challenging. I am constantly on the move…with pile of work pending at Oxford! Even though’ I can’t really cook in a hotel room…but my days are fresh and keeps my brain functioning:) Anyhow, When Kavita tagged me with this 8 Questionnaire…I was really thrilled. I kept all my work aside and started answering her.
Besides I am also overwhelmed when she shared an award with me. Oh yeah, it feels very good to receive an award from your buddy:) Thank you so much Kavita:) Sometimes, awards and rewards…really brings back all the enthusiasm in us:)I would like to share this award with following buddies:)

1. What is your take on organic food , is it a big deal for you ?
I am not so gaga about it…for one thing’ its not my league, I can’t afford it. All I think is…Oh yeah its good for the mother earth’ but not to my purse:( When one side of the globe is very hungry’ I can’t spend extra 13-15 % of income to go green, however…like the idea tho’ 
I am managing myself as a locovore’ (procuring produce’ only from the local farmer’s market) or from Amish place:)
2. Do you time your breakfast,lunch & dinner or eat when you are hungry ?
Time doesn’t really a matter, but I can’t stay focused when I am hungry(I go all nuts)…so I make sure, that there is something fresh and filling, ready for me to bite:)
3. What inspired you to write a food blog ?
I don’t know…it just happened one fine day…when I landed here…stuck in an apartment complex…with zero friends…and no car!!!
…when I managed a decent meal with exotic stuff…it was huge…so there you go, I blogged
4. You try a new recipe and it does not turn out good,what will you do ?
Dispose it before anyone knows, he he:):)
5. Name three ingredients you consciously avoid or eliminate even when the recipe calls for it ?
Oh yeah, there are number of items like that…ready made broth-soup, artificial flavors n colors, bicarbonates, sodas etc
6. Name three things you have to use in most recipes ?
You know, you would have figured it out from my blog,by now…Cumin seeds, Garlic and Chili Powder:)
7. How important is eating meals together as a family to you?
Yep, very important. But what to do, we hardly meet…as myself, my brother and my parents…we all live in an entirely different continent(America, Australia and Asia, respectively). Why did you ask me…I am home sick:(
8. You do not like a particular dish at your favorite restaurant,what will you do ?
No big a deal, will never order it….he he:) If I don’t like the taste of the food I ordered/served by a friend…I graciously push that aside of my plate…never complain:)

1. Why food is central to many Immigrant Indians?
2. Do you think ‘Feminism’ has robbed authentic home cooking at many houses?
3. Does enjoying a rich dessert’ interfere with your happiness…thinking about the calories, diabetes…cholesterol etc?
4. How many stores do you visit to fill up your pantry and how often do you shop? (Groceries, Fresh produce, Kitchen utensils…everything counts)
5. When the entire world switches to ready made food or energy pills…will you still like to cook?
6. When your partner or significant others’ hate your particular recipe…will you still continue to make them in a same fashion or tweak them to suit their needs?
7. Do you think ‘cooking is in your gene’ or ‘you mastered it’ out of hard work(I mean, experience)?
8. Do you think some of the Indian food’ would be globalized in near future? (Like French Fries, Pizza, Burger, Popcorn, chocolate, coffee etc.)
Congratulations for the award!
Very nice answers! I am impressed with the questions that you have asked your friends.
Malar,thanks so much for taking the time off your busy schedule and being such a wonderful sport.I enjoyed the answers and realized that there were probably some I could have avoided if I had the slightest inclination that there would be some of you who were away from their families but nevertheless I can clearly see that you have enjoyed the participation and the questionnaire prepared by you is absolutely fantastic,I am sure it should be fun for those who have been tagged to answer this and keep the ball rolling. I am glad I learnt so much more about you my dear friend. Stay well & eat well,love,Kavita
