A Girl in the pursuit of true passion

You must be wondering....this is yet another blog about how pursuing passion is important, or on how to actually pursue your passion. Or may be some gyaan about life, passion and satisfaction. But I have learned a long time ago - to each his own. I am not a self proclaimed life coach or someone who wants to inspire you. In fact, I believe no one can inspire you but you!! So what I am going to write about??

Well, this blog is going to be all over the place - a bit about myself, a bit about my journey where I have forsaken my comfortable lavish life, to explore the world of Food, a bit more about rantings of this journey, my travels (I am going to go to France to study Pastry arts), my tryst with French language and since I recently saw the movie 'Julie & Julia', may be follow a book to make all the recipes from it!!!

So to start with, let me bring you guys into my world. Till about a month back, I was working in PSU and leading a forlorn kind of life - surviving from vacation to vacation. However, food was my only savoir and of course, time spent with my husband, weekends, holidays and bitching about workplace :P. Now, when I say Food, I not only mean eating, but everything. For quite some time now, I have been obsessed about food. Right from growing it, cooking it till eating it, that too conscious eating.

In fact I believe that the next world war is going to be because of and about Food!!! I know, what a scandalous statement it is, right!! But don't you think so?? I mean, our entire existence is centered on food and I don't mean it in obvious scientific way. Look around you, people in 20s and 30s are suffering from all kinds of ailments. They are dying of heart attacks and cancers. Not only that, take simple things like at the age of 30 people are suffering from issues like fatigue, stress, hairfall, mood swings, depression. And you know what we can blame a hundred other aspects for these issues like competition and social media. However, I believe the basic cause of all these issues plaguing today's generation is Food!

The food that we eat has been genetically altered. It has been sprayed with chemicals. And to made things worse the food that we consume has been chemically altered, processed and handled without love (most restaurants, i believe don't do justice to the quality of food). And why should they, it's a money making tool now!! So what am I going to do?? Become a farmer?? May be eventually. I mean that is how I would like to retire and retire early in life. But before that I want to cook food and feed people with honest and wholesome food!!

I want to experiment with textures, flavors and set the tongues on fire (not literally) with the food that I make. And this is the story of my journey that I have set on.
