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 !
Today I made the OPOS Brinji for lunch (will post the recipe in a different blog). Krishnan and Amma were watching the segments of the Tamil Super Singer finals that they had missed. I don’t watch that program except when someone is exceptionally gifted and sings well. Like all singing competitions this one also has … Read more
Today’s lunch was noodles for Krishnan and I. Amma ate a little because it was made at home and then went to her rice and rasam :). Its a huge progress from the days when she would refuse to eat anything that was called noodles or pasta or macaroni. Food is a such a deep … Read more
Krishnan and I love Thai food – especially because its fresh and the curries are spicy. For many years we wrongly believed that the Vegetarian green/red/yellow curry was indeed vegetarian but a few years back we realised that many of the restaurants in India use Shrimp paste anyway as the base for these curries. We … Read more
The world is in a strange space – on one hand, you have millions dying of hunger, or living with malnutrition and on the other hand, we waste tonnes of food. Walk into an office cafeteria that has a lunch buffet or even a restaurant that has a buffet or the most notorious of all, … Read more

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
Krishnan and I like spicy food, so naturally we gravitated towards Thai food. For many years we were frequent visitors at a restaurant called Ros Thai, that came up in the Sahara Mall on M G Road, Gurgaon. They shut down in four to five years and many people blamed me :):), saying I reduced … 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
Written on Aug 25, 2017. Edited on Sept 2, 2019. Happy Ganesh Chathurthi everyone !! Ganesha has indeed done his job today by removing a major social obstacle in the form of Baba Ram Rahim by putting him in jail. It’s unbelievable though, that the Haryana Govt was caught napping and all of us are … Read more
As many of my friends know, I am now cooking almost exclusively the OPOS way. OPOS (One Pot One Shot) is this revolutionary way of cooking that has been developed by Rama Krishnan (of the one-page cookbook fame) which ensures that making food is not a drudgery and you can actually eat fresh, healthy, home … Read more
