Food ooohhhh foooddd!!!!

I am a passionate person. Passionate about cricket, movies, Goa, my wife (of course!), and about a million other things. But most of all I am passionate about food! Nothing thrills me more than food (sorry to the Missus). And good food. Lots of variety of good food! Yummy, tasty, delicious, slurpy, mouth-watering food!! Beautiful, gorgeous, hot and sexy, orgiastic food!!! You get the idea... :)

It was in the time during my post graduation days in Goa that I really started to fall in love with food. Here were two years when I had a wide variety of eating choices and just enough money to go try them all out. And try them all I did! And fell head over heels in love!!!

Food is never about the quantity, or fulfilling hunger... its a desire! An adventure... each aroma a beautiful invite to that adventure... each new flavor taking you to a place you have never been before... and each bite, a thrill!

I am not a critic.. or a major connoisseur of food. I don't even claim to have a highly developed palate. I just believe that a well made dish is great food. Even a well set bowl of curd is a great dish. I enjoy the simplicity of a home made meal and the complexity of a fine dining restaurant. I enjoy eating from the road-side 'gaadi' or the fancy 5-star. Good food is good food. Does not matter how much or how little you have to pay for it. It is always worth it. A beautiful experience...

Food! Love it, cherish it, nurture it, care for it, caress it, feel it... it will always make you happy! I would know... :)
