It's already a week since I returned from India, and I havent had the time till now to post anything. I guess the fact that I had to go to work the very next day after returning, jet-lag and all, is adequate description of how the time flew by!
The trip home was everything I wanted and still not enough... 2 weeks was too short a time for all that I wanted to fit in. Not that two months - or even two years - would have been enough... I guess that is the price one has to pay for making a life and a home away from Home.
The three Fs are what I miss most when I'm away from India - Family, Friends and Food. One cant re-create one's family or friends away from home - but food is most definitely there to be duplicated and replicated. Granted, I always feel that what I cook here on my own isnt a patch on my mother's cooking, or that of various relatives or even, in a pinch, that available at the restaurants back home. But there is some kind of satisfaction to be gained from trying. And definitely a lot of inspiration and enjoyment from reading about the trials and triumphs of other food bloggers.
Here's hoping that 2006 brings more triumphs than trials to everybody!
