No stories, no fuss. Just a heartfelt THANK YOU to all for being a part of Food Stall & writing to tell me all those lovely things that you do. For a journey that started saat samandar paar & came back to where the heart is, it has been extremely rewarding because of YOU, dear friends. 
                                                                                                       As I grow older today, & hopefully, wiser, this is my token of gratitude for all you wonderful people who laud me on to keep writing, cooking, clicking pics & sharing my yatra. Thank you ever so much.
