Finally I have started my blog. Searched the net for ideas for starting a blog. It didn't do much help though.All of them says the same thing - write on what you have a expertise on. This led me to do some serious thinking about my interests. Nothing in particular came to my mind at all. And then I realized that I fall into the famous category of people who are jack of all and master of none. So let my blog be random. I will write about me :D. What more can I know better than my own self. But am sure of one thing that my writings will primarily revolve around food travel and photography as those are some of the areas i love exploring.
After coming to Silchar the main attraction of my daily life is cooking. What to make for lunch, what for dinner. Sharing my quarter with a Bengali girl, Happy ,has also been very helpful as Bengali people are believed to have great taste buds.Yeah, am a foodie. Food makes me happy. I love to cook as well as experiment with new items. I miss the drums of heaven of 'Quick Pick' in Guwahati more than my home (Little exaggeration over here :P). The second thing which is equally important for me is traveling. I have been to most of the parts of India with my family. But with family you have to be a tourist and not a traveler so I have made my own bucket list of places which I will visit again for further exploration. More of that on some later posts.

| IROMBA |
Right now am staying in NIT
quarters provided by the office, I work for, C-DAC. Let's start with
what I had today for lunch. Well i did have something special today. A
manipuri girl, Marina who happens to be a student at our office is
staying with us for few days as her hostel formalities are not yet
complete. She prepared a famous Manipuri dish called Iromba. Its very
simple to make and is very delicious as well. She mixed mashed tomatoes
and potatoes and added chopped onion , green chilies, warm water and
salt to taste. Just mix all o these well and the most simple manipuri Iromba is ready to eat. By the way they have a lot of varieties of Iromba
and different preparation styles. I liked what I had today and will
surely try the other recipes of Iromba and will share soon. After office
hours we went to a roadside stall which serves capsicum pakoda. They
are lovely and we couldn't resist the feeling of having then in this
rainy weather. It was a day well spent. Bye for today :)
