Forward

• I am fascinated by cooking
• After all we are all living for eating, though many fools think that we just need to eat for living
• Sanjeev Kapoor is my ideal
• Tarala Dalal’s recipes are awesome
• I liked the movie Dil Chahta Hai, because Aamir Khaan is all the time eating in that movie and there are lot of scenes in restaurants
• Salaam Namaste is another favourite movie and if I were not a Civil Engineer, I would have been a cook, atleast you don't sleep hungry, if you are a cook.
