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.

 Good morning my fellow readers. This post will be one that is of a dear diary moment and since I don't keep a diary i decided to write it here, a la my safe space. It talks about a loss that i recently faced. The loss of something that i held very dear to in my life. You might be thinking as to why I am out of my element for a while now, well that can  be attributed to my writer's block as well as the need to be more relatable and mellow, if that makes sense. Well here goes. After weeping profusely for 2 days straight since the incident occurred, this is merely my way of acknowledging my grief and speaking it out into existence. Since entrenching myself in the locales of a suburb called Nagarbhavi and failing to find friends my own age, my only companions here are the four legged cuties who are teeming like there's no tomorrow. One particular bond forged with this cute little white bundle of joy was enduring and pure, at least i hoped it would be.  It was merely happenstan

Quarantine diaries-part 2

 Well hello there folks.Here i am with another incoherent ramblings about my life under the throes of Covid19. With my 5th semester examinations and the grind coming to a close, i feel both hopeful as well as apprehensive of the future.  With my mother falling ill to looking after the daily monotony of the house to doing my day to day tasks, life has indeed hit a screeching halt. Coupled with writer's block wherein I'm unable to concoct and ideate topics to write about. Going out for rejuvenating walks seems to be the only saving grace. Learning new skills essential for our field seems to be getting pushed off for some reason( laziness aplenty).  With the 2nd wave engulfing mankind quicker and more deadlier than ever, it's time to take swift action to remedy the situation around us. The die has been cast. I have been two days into my holidays and already feel like a better man. More mature and more responsible if that makes sense. Like i'm ready to conquer the world. Da

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
