Welcome

Being passionate travelers means plenty of variations. Be it cloths, places, entertainments, or food, you have a large database of options in front of you. True, we were never ardent about cooking, but we were always one food loving couple. And, our interest for travel took us all the way from India to Nepal to Somalia to Maldives to Uganda. We did not travel to these countries for mere journey. We found jobs in every country, stayed for a couple of years, learned the ins and outs of their customs and practices, and then of course food. It's so wonderful to have them all shared it with you, the taste that we loved in India.
