Four Times the Fun
I have been having great fun reading responses to the Fantastic Four Meme that has been going around. Being relatively new to the food blog world, I found this a great opportunity to learn a little more of my fellow bloggers than those cryptic little "About" pages tell me.
But now the shoe is on the other foot: I was put on the spot by Rajitha from Hunger Pangs, and now I will see how it feels to bare a little bit of myself to you.

@Padmaja: yes, the children are so sweet that sometimes I think we have no need for mithai :-)
@Dhana: yes, I was surprised how much I enjoyed doing it in the end
@srivalli: this meme is so great for that purpose, isn't it?
@Rajitha: yes - the tough thing is working full-time, volunteering, studying part-time, and trying to find time for the family in there somewhere
@Happy Cook: I've always thought my life is rather boring, until one day I started making a list of things that happened to me and places I've lived, and suddenly it seemed very busy indeed :-)
@Siri: telugu valla kodalu telugu pilla :-)
I have noticed that there seems to be quite a number of telugu food bloggers, but not many vegetarians. (Well, we eat egg now, so some might not consider us vegetarian either :-) )
