I am Lakshmi, born and brought up in the beautiful state of Karnataka. I am happily living my life playing the different roles of a daughter, a sister, a mother and a wife. But I take pride in saying I am I am also a passionate foodie! I am working as research administrator in the field of clinical research but I still take time out to blog about food and share my recipes at www.tasteofmysore.com.
If you meet me you will know that I am always happy because of my smile. According to my family, my smile lights up my eyes. I love the way I am and don't want to change anything about myself. Being healthy and fit is my definition of pretty! I am obsessive about 'healthy eating' and I try to do that by incorporating healthy ingredients in my cooking.
Happiness I believe is the state of mind you are in. For me it comes easily whenever I see my children smiling a smile on my children face and their little achievement. I love to wind up the day with a cup of filter coffee and watch sunset preferably near my jasmine flowers or read my favourite food blogs. But I have realized that it is meditation which makes me calm. Recently I met my spiritual guru and felt very good.
Life has been very good to me. I have my masters’ degree in Pharmacy after which I worked for various companies in the field of Clinical Research. I met my hubby in college and friendship turned into courtship and ended in a happy marriage. I have a very supportive and loving husband whose love is beyond words.
My love affair with recipes started after I left my home actually. For education and employment, I have travelled all over India from South to North East to North West and it was hard to adapt to roti and potato in the beginning but very soon it became a love affair. From litti chokha to stuffed paratha, malpua, jalebi and rabdi to even phuchka and Jhaal Mori I used to relish every food item and got introduced to the amazing street food of India too so yes from the beginning I was foodie. I would gather whatever ingredients I could lay my hands on and experiment to make dosa and rava idli in college hostel when I was in North India and my friends would always awed by my creations. I was known as Lakshmi Di famous for cooking south Indian food in hostel.
Being a mother was one of the most joyous things that has changed my life completely. My two children brought lots of happiness to my life. Its my dream to see my children leading a happy, calm and beautiful life.
Life is good. I hope to keep up my spiritual practices and live a healthy life till my last breath.
