6th Blog Birthday

Today, the first of September 2019 marks the sixth blog birthday and I can’t be any more excited. If you are a regular reader of this blog, you’d be well aware of my blogging journey. From a hobby blog sharing the recipes I tried in my kitchen, it has now evolved into something so much…

Outside my Window #WordsMatter

August 2, 2019 By Shalini 46 Comments

Right outside my window, I see these gigantic hills, now a bright shade of green, thanks to the non-stop rain since the last week. Shouldn’t this inspire me to write a few words or come up with a beautiful poem? I wonder. Alas, no! All I do is take it as an excuse to shut…

Six Months, Already?

June 18, 2019 By Shalini 23 Comments

I can’t believe six months have already gone by, in 2019. Where did time go, I wonder. It sure wasn’t an eventful year uptil now and I didn’t do any justice to my Word of the Year. If I have to rewind and review the last half-year, I would probably say it didn’t have any…

Hello 2019 and Word of the Year

January 1, 2019 By Shalini 42 Comments

Every year-end I could be seen swamping with new ideas and also fear about the future. It has got more to do with having a lot of expectations for the new year – hope, belief and wanting to do everything that would, in turn, bring me happiness and a sense of pride and victory. This…

November Ketchup With Me

November 23, 2018 By Shalini 5 Comments

This month has gone by so quickly and I can’t believe we are already in the last week. Needless to say, with the festivities and the launch of my YouTube channel, things were pretty hectic this side. Yes, on my last Monthly Ketchup post, I had mentioned that I was excited about something. My food…

Making space for silence #FridayReflections

November 2, 2018 By Shalini 2 Comments

Music is an essential part of my life. No, I cannot sing (though many say that I definitely could after hearing my not-so-hoarse voice. I simply thank my genes!), but I spend most time of the day, listening to music. My daily chores – be it cooking, doing laundry, walking, blogging or even bathing (yup!)…
