Embarking on a gastronomical journey

-
My gastronomical journey dates back to 2010,when we made our first family trip across the world.As memories come.fleeting by and nostalgia grapples with my very emotions, I find it hard to recall events that took place ten years ago but to cherish it is the ultimate goal.The Far East awaited us and we embraced it with warm open hands.They say that traveling broadens your horizons and one culture gets rubbed on to another.I can attest to that fact and safely say that it did us justice Justice to traverse across this uncharted terrain comprising of Thailand,Malaysia and finally Singapore.Feeling alienated in an alien land(no pun intended)for the entirety of the 10 days of the trip was put to a screeching half when the tour guide being bequeathed to us was a jaunty and gregarious Indian by the name Saketh.He shared an uncanny resemblance to Arnab "The nation wants to know" Goswami.
Thailand is really a treasure trove indeed replete with beaches,sun and sand dunes,
nightclubs catering to lecherous old men and family members alike.The Pattaya waling street to the various clubs that do business all around the clock like clockwork even post midnight and the thrifty gift shops that lures it's visitors with "treats" didnt leave a mark on a 10 year old's mind back in 2010 but I've learnt for the best.
The hotel that we were residing in served the best continental breakfast ever and was impeccable in almost all aspects.Thailand has moreover received a lot of flak over the years due to its infamous nightlife and illicit human trafficking but our tour guide made sure that we weren't meandering away on our own looking for...well you know what.
Everything was organized in the most efficacious manner possible
I am a budding journalist with a keen eye on the goings on of the world and a professional foodie, if that makes any sense. I have a slight interest in photography by dabbling in it and also would like to make the world a better place through the written word.

The Ram Mandir legacy

Will this be untouched by outsiders once its constructed?! Ladies and Gentlemen, i put it to you. The historic Bhumi Pujan thats about to commence in a few short minutes at the heart of Ayodhya. Yes, its a very exciting and celebratory prospect for the vast majority of ardent religious Indians. the way the halls have been decked with such great pomp and fanfare is actually eclipsed by a great deal of controversies and rich historical significance. Will it last in the eyes of god? IS the Bhumi Pujan a new beginning for the history of RamJanmabhoomi? Are we ushering in a new era? 1) The location and name of RamJanmabhoomi: As the name suggest, the land is supposed to be postulated as the birthplace of Lord Ram from the Hindu mythology. So, it is only fitting to pay homage to the deity of Lord Ram by immortalizing a temple in his honour and name.   2) The Ayodhya dispute:In the bygone era, there were numerous temples built on this very favorable stretch of land nestled in Uttar Prade

The rise and tide of startups

A startup, in the most general parlance implies an idea that has grown to become a multi-million dollar industry. Let us take for instance The Silicon Valley, which is nothing but a group of geniuses spearheading or leading a bunch of companies that they co-founded or founded and that global hub attracts all sorts of FDI(Foreign Direct Investment) and thus impacts how we perceive globalization on a whole. Global conglomerates like Amazon,  Google, Microsoft and Apple to name a few have gone on to rule the market space for the next millennial, due to its vast growth rate, employability factors that are only accentuated by the field of computers(sorry, if you wanna work in Amazon or any multinational you solely require a computer science degree,  simple as that). There have also been many factors that seem to go against Amazon's tenets and they are: 1) There have been many warehouse allegations and infringements of stocks shared within the Amazon board members in September 200

The soul of a Kannadiga but the heart of a Sheikh

My exciting and transformative adventure across life starts from the time that I was raised in the Gulf. Yes, the land of immeasurable stocks in astronomical oil rates and an even better addition to the mix -Malayalees(Keralites). Yes, the Gulf is teeming with them(pardon my tone). So, I lived in this archipelago called Bahrain for 11 whole years.Most of  my formative education took place there and in retrospect, nostalgia has enveloped me as I begin to pen this very article. So many memories come flooding past and my teary eyed school reunions are something. that I will always cherish. In this cut throat day and age of technology, I was a very cocooned individual who was extremely hesitant to break forth from his shell, but the friends that I found there were for life. My mixed feelings towards my stay in the Gulf was primarily because of the lack of availability of  good amenities catering to a larger demographic, in this case the influx of Indians there.Me and my conservative,
