Blogging and Baking

Yes, I have decided to start blogging again. It’s some time since I did anything which I really enjoy doing. I am thankful to Dr. Ramani (http://ramani-fieldnotes.blogspot.in/) for inspiring and almost coaxing me to begin blogging again.

The last time I blogged, I was in Hargeisa, Somaliland and it was during May 2011.  Since then, we have gone places. We moved to Kerala to my parents’ place and then moved to Noida, near Delhi and now we are in Bangalore.

When Ramani called up the other day and while we chatted I happened to mention how much I miss all the places that I have lived in. That’s when she told me that I should start blogging about my experiences in the different places and the life there. She also said that I should start baking.

She also mentioned how she is enjoying baking off late. I remembered how often I used to bake while I lived in Windhoek, Namibia. Blogging and baking can give one a high- we agreed on it. We also did discuss about how the old traditional oven bakes better than the new ones. I called up my father the same evening and asked if I could take his 25 years old oven. Off late it is lying idle as he is not allowed to bake anymore. Both my parents are supposed to avoid sugar due to their health conditions. Therefore, no more cakes and biscuits in the house and I get the oven.

I decided to start blogging from today. My parents are arriving here next week and so is the oven. So, I start baking the same day next week. Hoping to blog about it also.
