Churning butter with love!


Food is very close to my heart, a very important nexus between mother nature's produce and all living beings. But not just any food; food that binds generations and families, foods that have stories to tell. Before we all succumb to the world of ready- made, instant, packaged food, which is somewhat inevitable seeing our growing economy and consumerism.

It took me a while to realize how blessed it is to hail from a place that has just been opening itself to the world, retaining its pristine state is a question. A place with not much of credible and valid historical records of diverse people that have settled here; making everything equally complex and beautiful. And like our lifestyle, food also has evolved and has been adapted in accord with the strong influence that came from all corners. Lahauli food now is no more just potato and buckwheat. So before we loose our indigenous lifestyle altogether, I am making an attempt to have it saved here.
Everything we see in our lives has a story. That is why I love them so much, everything is here because it has a story. The story of your watch, city, friends and you! It's the background story that instills the element of curiosity and interest in any otherwise ordinary thing :)
