Learnings & Coming Back

I have not been posting. No, it is not a consequence of laziness but a choice. I also contemplated turning this blog into a private one. Or even taking it back into incubation. There are a few reasons for it. I am listing some of them down for you guys.

- I felt I was done talking about recipes. There are enough versions of recipes out there and maybe I have something new to say, maybe I don't. I went into this space of 'does it matter? I am cooking and that is enough'.

- There are enough restaurant reviewers out there and I know my opinion counts exactly for two people - me and the man. So why put it on a blog?

- I was learning too many things too fast - faster than I was able to write them all down. Massive culinary and dietary changes have happened in our home and kitchen and I guess I was not able to capture them as fast as they were manifesting.

- We were and are busy house hunting.

- I was still coping with how many clients I am handling as a freelancer and how much time it was taking me to deliver my best everyday.

- I was writing too much already. No, it does not have my name slathered all over it but writing I was, and still am and at the end of all that writing, finding the energy to do it here again, well, just the thought was exhausting.

So why did I come back? Because I started missing this place like one missed the quiet corner in one's house where one goes to contemplate. This is my reflection room where I come and store my treasures. And I realised I had stopped putting the precious stuff inside it and that was my wake up call. So I came back.

And coming home feels good, now that I have finally done it.
