You will often find me in kitchen as that the place which I love. Apart from kitchen you can find me with my beautiful family, driving, reading or practicing my photography.
Thought leadership, art of possibilities and a passion for food have driven me to ditch a corporate life and dirty my hands with dough. (Brunt fingers and skins at times as well).
My life full of passion with food
Throwback few generations of a Punjabi family and having heard of finger licking home food stories of my Grand Mom. I have very faint memories of her, however, it was sure she passed on the passion to my Grand Dad and my Dad too.
Countless memories of a joint family and my father spending hrs & hrs churning our typical Punjabi delicacies. Butter Chicken with his green chutney was the house favorite. Still remember guest dropping in large numbers, just to savoir on his preparations. Gajar ka halwa (Carrot Pudding) – https://fingersareforburning.com/gajar-ka-halwa/ used to be a show stopper.
No wonder, I picked my passion early from my Dad and it continued during my corporate life as well. Until, one fine day I learned what I need to do in my life. That was 5 years ago. VK’s early support and his help as an in-house writer has given a tremendous boost in my journey.
