This blog is our space to write about our thoughts, views and notes about our travels. Osho owned 90 Rolls Royces while being a Sanyasi …. The so-felt contradiction is very fascinating and hence the name !
Ever since Nisha introduced me to OPOS I have been an ardent follower. I am not the kind that swoons over fancy dishes and cooking is just an essential skill – the sooner am done making what I want the better it is. The kitchen is not my refuge nor is cooking a passion. I … Read more
My school buddy Javed was at home a couple of weeks back and he was looking fit and handsome. He refused to eat food because he had to go somewhere and also because he was eating slightly differently to get fit. That diet included a lot of sprouts which he was making by himself. I … Read more
Yesterday we came to Jaipur along with our friend Subbu and his family. The day before, Krishnan started the Toyota Corolla and left it running to keep the battery charged.

Krishnan and I love the Risotto but I always thought it was something exotic and cannot be made at home. We would go to Tonino or Flavors and invariably eat the Risotto and … Read more
We bought a microwave 15 years back and ever since then, it has been an important appliance in the kitchen. I initially used it just to reheat stuff, then to cook rice. Then I figured out I could steam vegetables in it and then discovered roasting papad and “vadaam” without oil. All was well till … Read more
Like I have mentioned in several of my food blogs, OPOS (One Pot One Shot) is a cooking method that’s been developed by Mr. Ramakrishnan (Ramki or RK as he is known popularly). It’s truly a revolution because it’s cooking without the drudgery of spending hours in the kitchen. The best part about OPOS is, … Read more
