About the blogger

HR Professional . Working Homemaker . Blogger . Wikipedian . Family Photographer . Engineer

If you are checking out this page, it means that my efforts to impress you worked! 😀 Thank you for stopping by!

I am a Bangalorean – as of today, been here for 8 9 years and I love Bangalore! I have a full-time job as an HR Professional and I love what I do! I also love to put my thoughts in writing – sometimes you will like the posts here and sometimes you will like them even more. I am a learner and I feel I have been writing ever since I was a kid and now I am regularly blogging. Oh yes, I am still a kid at heart. Inquisitive, happy and always busy! I also keep the kid in me alive by playing games like Candy crush, Free cell, Klondike, Sudoku, words, etc.

I enjoy spending my time with my husband (no pets and no kids and no plans) though with him I am always out of our house roaming around. We love to see different places and this is just one of the few similar interests we discovered 😉

You will see that this blog is about all things that make me happy, food and a lot of food for thought. Feel free to comment if you find something interesting and  leave a message! 🙂 I love being appreciated!

To know what my name means, have a look at #WhatsInAName.

P.S. During April 2014, I took up #zerotohero – Blogging 101. So, as part of Day one assignment, this page also talks about who I am and why I’m here.

  14. Hi Parul,

    My name is Suchitra Rajan. I write to you on behalf of Clea Public Relations.

    We handle clients for Westland publishing house and includes clients who are best-selling authors such as Amish Tripathi, Ashwin Sanghi, Preethi Shenoy, Christopher Doyle and so on.

    Currently we would like you to review Ashwin Sanghi’s non-fiction book “13 steps to bloody good luck”.

    A little bit about the book:

    The journey of life isn’t exactly easy…
    Some people make it through hard work and talent.
    Some fall by the wayside. And some people are just
    plain lucky. They are blessed with Bloody Good
    Luck!
    But is it possible to attract good luck? Can we train
    ourselves to be lucky? Apparently it seems that Dame
    Luck isn’t that fickle. She is well within our reach.
    In his first non-fiction foray, bestselling author
    Ashwin Sanghi explores that critical, much-longed
    for element called luck.
    Through entertaining and informative anecdotes,
    narrations of personal experiences and vignettes of
    homespun wisdom, Ashwin gives us a whole new
    insight into how people can work towards being
    lucky.
    It seems that luck isn’t entirely the twist of fate that
    it is made out to be!

    Kindly inform me if you would like to review a book like this?

    Also kindly provide me with your address for the same. Do you accept e-copies or do you prefer paperback copy to be sent to you?

    Even if you don’t review non-fiction, could you still provide me with your address,
    so we can add you in our blogger list and send you a book that would be suited more to your preference?

    Thank you,
    Regards,
    Suchitra Rajan

  24. Hey ! This is a wonderful website… And the theme is certainly extremely attractive 😛
    You must be aware of the issue of hunger in india. It saddens me to be very honest that 1/3rd of the food produced gets wasted while lakhs of people die due to lack of sanitary food…
    I have been looking for organisations which would help solve the hunger issues mainly in india… And I was successful in finding this organisation which collects excess food and gives it to the needy. See if you can give it a push on the blog.

  27. Heya there, Parul! I’m a fellow Wikipedian (more active on Wikisource though) and I’ve been enjoying your blog for sometime (especially the A to Z), but I don’t think I’ve ever commented. Just to let you know that I’ve nominated you for the Creative Blogger Award over on my blog. Hope you’ll accept! 🙂

  34. Hi Parul, You have a neat blog here giving out thoughts crystal clear!

    We are looking for a book review for Megha Mehta’s latest book – “Find your Rhythm”, a motivating DIY guide to perfect Wellness. Megha’s book talks about how to listen to your inner voice and experience perfect wellness, by following the voice. Megha is a Holistic Health Coach and Energy medicine practitioner, currently residing in Bangalore, after working in Singapore for 7 years.

    Could connect to your blog as it also talks about inner happiness.

    Looking forward to your response, so that I can give you more details.

    Best
