Supporting Organic Farming

You know how they say, "You are what you eat"? I believe in that one. My mother is big time into sustainability, reuse and anything that means environment friendly and I am extremely proud of her for that. Since the day she found about 'ReStore', its been raining red rice and millets at home. I had to bid goodbye to my taste buds. 

Jokes apart, ReStore is a non-profit organisation that houses organic food products, fruits and vegetables that have been spared of chemical pesticides, additives and preservatives. Radhika, one of the directors of ReStore approached me for some photographs of the grains and millets for their website and making banners. I grabbed the opportunity to debut in food photography (though this is only baby steps) in my style and here are the results. See for yourself and do opine in the comment section. 

P.S : I would feel like 'Mother Teresa' if even one of you start living the organic way after visiting the site.

Do Not Do The Silent prayer YET!

I wasn't dead. NOT YET. I was in hibernation (not really a conscious decision. I just got caught up with my numerous interests). I have opened my blog many a time, just to test if it still existed. It still looked great to me. I really thought I would find it all boring now. But I must say, my blog did not let me give up! When I saw that my last post was dated 13 Feb 13, it really did give me the chills. I felt extinct. But as I said, I did not give up. So here are a few updates about me while I was away from you all.

I have shifted to Chennai. 

I am back to living with my parents *shudder*

I was venturing into architecture, photography and music (Indian classical; to be more specific Carnatic) and was lost; in a good way.

I finally got my act together and decided to pursue photography as mainstream, while the other two can always be around me to make me feel very ambi-dextrous. 

I have been getting quite a few interesting projects, which I shall post here one by one without spamming your inboxes.

I missed the blogosphere. I almost forgot what it is to blog. It really is something. Oh I also missed your ego boosting comments. Damn.

My website and visiting cards are under construction.

Thats it for now! Do look forward to some tasteful posts. I assure you they are yummy. 

P.S: Please let me know I was missed via your esteemed comments (do not mind my heights of desperation).
