Mid-February 2016 I started blogging. Its now May 2016! I had the least idea that in such short span, I will be nominated for Liebster Award within the blogging community. This is indeed an honour and my ecstacy is beyond imagination! 🙂

I would like to thank a fellow blogger Rini, for nominating me. The link to her blog:

Rini is an excellent blogger who loves to share her gourmet food experiences with the best of explanation on her posts. Her love for food is well evident from the high quality and “yummy” photographs that she puts up on her blog supporting it up with details on each and every dish. It was indeed a blessing for me to have found her space. 🙂 ❤
