Finally back to blogging.

It has been months since I posted something on my blog. Too many changes in my personal life kept me quite busy as a result of which I neglected my blog. But better late than never so once again I am back. I received requests from many friends as well as fellow bloggers to post more frequently, and I myself too decided to do the same.

This June my blog turned 3 🙂 It was really a beautiful journey with all of you reading my posts, appreciating my thoughts, paintings, poems and everything which I posted for you all. Many of you even tried the recipes which I shared and gave me feedback . I actually feel overwhelmed when you all take out some of your precious time to go through my blog. A big thanks to each one of you.

Hope you all are going to come back to read my blog even in future and keep encouraging me to write more and more .
