My little blog has its own story to tell… my story… I’m a daydreamer, fairy-tales dweller, vagabond at heart with a serious appetite for food.I used to be a Human Resource professional until few years ago. I loved my profession for the opportunities it provided – to be with people, for people.
Being in HR, I could only accomplish my  ‘people’ passion. A part of me still yearned to be in those places I saw on TV and travel magazines and craved to eat food that lulls you into coma.
I didn’t want to be just a spectator anymore. I wanted to BE in those pictures.

As destiny had it, I fell gravely ill with a heart, lungs and liver disorder. Family said, “stay home. Rest.”
Rest! Were they crazy? I grabbed this opportunity to quit my job and pursue my passions – people, places and food. Being on my own meant lot of spare time.
I’m mighty passionate about cooking. I scout the YouTube for recipes that ignite senses, yet, are quick and easy to cook. So far, I’ve got them well, if I can say so myself.
I religiously follow Andrew Zimmern’s quote – “What looks good to your eyes, EAT IT!” After all it’s food that starts conversations, builds new bonds and erases all kinds of boundaries, isn’t it.

Travel, I believe, is about exploring new places, seeing as much as I can, meeting new people, soaking in their culture, building new relations, gorging on their cuisines, discovering food stories and immortalizing these moments in my cell phone.

Life’s a journey and people, places, culture and food are all a part of it. I feel, it’ll be more fun if  You and I are in this journey together…

I like to stay connected. I’ll be very happy if you drop a line or two at graciousnatasha@gmail.com.

Celebrate Life!!!
