Nice getting to know you a little better! I do enjoy your cooking blog, too.
Amazing post. I cannot write or read in Urdu, and I feel bad about it! I’m in my 30’s and I think I somewhat like it better than twenties. (although crossing the threshold was not too much fun 😉
haha… lovely to know more about you 🙂
I’m on the wrong side of 30 now and what little hair remains, has chosen to go grey or just white. So don’t be me and keep that hair long and black 😀
At 26 I had my first visit from grey hair. Now at 33, my head id where grey hairs come for relaxing! 🙂 You are right to take pride in your long black hair, Tina! I’m fond of eating too, but not much to cook. 🙂
My youngest son has a November birthday. He’s also a scorpio and very stubborn! I also love eating but only like cooking sometimes. You’re gorgeous! If you don’t mind me saying so. Happy birthday in advance!
Thank you Ness. Of course I don’t mind. Hugs to your lil Scorpio
Loved your list, Tina. Nice to know you’re a Bangal. Me too 🙂 though I can fully understand but cannot go beyond a point if I had to speak it. Wow, you never mentioned this about being a Kathak dancer..that must have been a great experience. I once tried learning but later realised dance wasn’t my thing though I love watching Kathak performances a lot!It was nice knowing you through this post.
Nice to know you are a Bangal too! Yes I miss Kathak quite a lot!
18th I an’t believe 😉
Lol yes Ruchie I make horrible roti and disastrous khichdi
Wow.. nice list to share.. I am 23 and grey hair have already paid a visit.. I am trying to make sure that they are not here to stay… Love cooking in bits and pieces.. especially soups and stews ..
What a fun take and glad to get a peek in your life.
Woah! This is pretty interesting!
Some amazing facts here! 🙂
Had no idea that you were in kathak too and you left that for higher education. 🙁
Well, I love your cooking blog and you know that very well! So, never ever leave that for anything. 😉
Really ..??
Roti n khichidi ??
Wow.. Now you are actually #AwkwardEarthling certified cook slash designer 😀
Point 15 made me smile, do you remember anything of that trip? It’s good to travel nevertheless.
So nice to know you better. I’m the complete opposite of you as far as cooking goes – I like to cook the simple, everyday stuff!
Wow interesting.. But you look so Bengali I would say. I can only cook simple food. Anything fancy is off my list. Good to know you more.
