Inspiration Series

Am an ardent fan of her(food photos & recipes) since 2013. In these 3 years she has moved to different continents/time zones but her enthusiasm,energy when it comes to cooking, trying new recipes, sharing the knowledge remains constant. There are some moments in life where I feel that I really have to thank Social Media. Getting to know culinary experts like Anu is definitely one such moment. Not only me, for many people out there she is a virtual mentor and we are all trying to learn as much as possible from her . Anoosrini – A proud homemaker, mom…

Ravi Chandran – A Software Engineer by Profession, loves Nature Photography, started cooking since the early teens, a doting father to two beautiful daughters and the author of “Nalabaagam”.

But she lost her stomach to a…

As any other social media platform, Instagram is addictive too. When I started using it in 2012, I was so naive and don’t even know how to add hashtags or how to follow the right people. Since 2013 I have been uploading my food photos regularly and started getting a hang of it. Unlike other SM platforms there is not much of negativity here. Right from food photography,styling,recipe ideas you can learn so many things from this community. The best part is you can follow like minded, passionate foodies all around the world. There are no boundaries. “Insta-spirations” is my…

 Starting the Insta-spiration series with none other than my favorite couple Ajit Bhaskar & Nandini Vishwananth. I have been following them on Instagram since 2013, from then till now they keep sharing interesting posts everyday.

Nandini is witty, beautiful,loves her job and shares interesting pictures & stories about her workplace as well. Here is my fun interview session with them :
