My first blog!

Hi! This is my first blog. Ever since I created my blog page, I wondered what to write. There were many topics that came to my mind. However I was never motivated to sit and write seriously. But now I've decided that I'll write something that I am passionate about. Yes! I am going to write about my passion and my experiences associated with my passion. In this blog and my future blogs I am going to write about my passion "food".

I am a foodie and I love to try and experiment with food. I've traveled to various countries and while traveling I always try to taste the local food.  I've traveled to North America; European countries like Sweden, Germany, Denmark, and Spain; New Zealand; South Africa; South-East Asian Countries like Thailand, Cambodia, Hong Kong and Beijing (in China).  Originally I am from India and was born and raised in the city of Mumbai in the state of Maharashtra and for few years I lived in the city of Chennai in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu.  During my travels there has been some dish which has always attracted me. 

I am not an expert and I am not trying to write a review on any cuisine, but instead I am going to write my current experiences with the food. Food is an essential part of our life. It is an important aspect of our physiological existence. Our senses such as sight, smell, taste, touch etc. play a vital role in preference for food. Food is not just about good aroma and taste, it is also about the way it is presented and internalized in our mind.

A new menu/dish always excites me and I am always curious to try my hands at it. However I am a bit choosy and try not to get health problems because of any wrong selections and also not eat food which are tabooed in the culture I was born and raised. Very recently I came across the concepts of food safety and sanitation, nutrition, culinary skills etc. In my future blogs, I'll attempt to write on these and share experiences of my adventurous journey in this new and exciting area of interest. I hope my narratives will keep you entertained and proves to be informative.  For today, I am only giving you a sense of my liking for food and also introducing you to my blog.  I am sure you'll follow my blog and also give your comments and feedback to keep me motivated to write more.
