A Note, A Personal Note
These are trying times, times that make you angry, yet grateful; times that make you question everything, but at the same time, you appreciate and value every moment, every microsecond and everything you have. You let bygones be bygones, you focus on mending relations and everything you once upon a time took for granted.
We all felt 2020 was horrible and one could not wait to leave it behind and start anew with 2021 but then, it hit us even worse.
Personally, for me, 2020 gave me the lowest of lows, my weakest moments that left me so vulnerable and without hope but at the same time, 2020 gave me the best of what life could ever have to offer, that dream job that taught me oh so much and also my boyfriend and now fiancé; so yes, too much to fill you up with unbelievable amounts of anger and at the same time, so much to be grateful for.
Why am I back to writing after so long and what have I been up to all this while?
I let my work and other things take up so much time in my life that it left me with little or no time to focus on what I always loved, writing about food, about my dining experiences and my happiest food memories. Yes, I did keep relishing such good food, but I also never thought of documenting it. Somehow, just Instagramming it on an on-off occasion felt more than enough.
What changed in me was how Jyot, my fiancé, would push me day in and day out to start writing again, for he truly loved reading what I wrote, until one day I snapped at him and said, “My Blog, My Wish; I’ll do what I want with it..”
He never brought the topic up again, but his job was done.
I had started questioning myself ,my belief and more importantly, my decision to stop writing, even when it was the core reason for everything I am and have, literally everything today.
So, here I am, nearly a year and a half later, with a spark ignited unlike any other (and still using food as a coping mechanism), watching the show that inspired me to start writing about food seven and half years ago; sitting with a hope, a dream, a vision and a prayer, to bring this blog back to its former glory.
Signing off for today, hoping to come back and hear from you’ll, and share so much more with you’ll,
