Its been few days since i joined blurt and i have to say that i am really excited to be a part of this radical change in the world of blogging. During the past few days, I din't blog much as i thought i should just get the feel of being in this community and go through the Work of other Blogger's before i really start getting into my groove.

Food Blogging is something that i thought i wouldn't do, but sometimes you can surprise yourself.
In fact, A lot of credits for this blog goes to @kotturinn for inspiring me with her 50mm shots on her recent food blog on Carrot Ginger Soup. It will be a shame, if i fail to mention my friend @Imransoudagar for bringing me to this platform.
Coming to this blog Series, Monk's around the world are generally vegetarians by choice. Hence, this food series will exclusively contain Vegetarian food cooked from my kitchen.
