Another fresh year is here..
Another year to live..
To banish worry, doubt and fear..
To love, laugh and give.

This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs! Ahem.. I mean to write more joyful posts..:D

~ Original quote by William Arthur Ward

Light of a New Beginning
As our dear friend, the year 2007 says adieu to us, its time to cherish those wonderful memories I shared with my blog . In my short stint of 4 months, I have had 68 posts, numerous blogger friends around the globe and loads n loads of fun. To be honest with you all, the idea of blogging struck me accidentally and now it became a part and parcel of my life. 'Bloghopping' is my favorite past time now and Thanks to wonderful blogger friends out there for their soulful and yummy posts which make my every single day.

Now, coming to what were those special moments for me, in these few months...
First is undoubtedly my 15 day NaBloPoMo Marathon Blogging, for which I had to come up with a post every single day.. Phew..that was one awesome and satisfying experience.

Here is a quick compilation of all the 15 posts..:)

Day 13: Ilusion or Magic?
Day 14: The World's Most Expensive Desserts!!

Also, I felt very privileged to be a part of Feed A Hungry Child campaign initiated by VKN and Indira, which managed to spread many smiles all around the blogosphere..:)

Whats in store for 2008?
Hmmmm, frankly I donno, but will definitely try to serve many more delicious recipes from my kitchen and will work on my style of writing posts.. I need to refine my vocabulary and be more expressive...:)



Thanks to Nupur's 'Best of 2007 event', which made me browse through all my previous posts and relive those moments which I spent with my blog..:)

Adieu for now folks and Wishing You all a very Happy and Joyous 2008!

What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.

~ Agnes M. Pharo

Merry Xmas to all of you!

Who am I?

I am Siri, somebody just like you - passionate about food, happiness and life in general.

What is Siri's Corner is all about?

It was the summer of 2007 and those were the times when nothing worthwhile was happenning in my life and 'Food' gave me solace and embraced me...and asked nothing in return..It still gives me bountiful love and joy and this blog is a place where I try to share all that with you all :).

All opinions expressed on this blog are purely mine and are not intended to hurt anybody's sentiments.

Is this is a food-blog only?

Not at all..though it is mostly a food-related blog, one would find all kinds of stuff here - stories that inspire, humour, food art , articles and other non-foodie posts..

Whenever possible, I do host various food-events and for the roundups done uptil  now, click here.

How often do I blog?

I blog when I find a recipe that 'connects' with me and 'talks' to me.. when I dig into that first bite, my heart either skips a beat out of joy.. or atleast brings a smile on to my face...when I know for a fact that dish will be made again and again by me..
... this blog is my online 'diary-of-keepsake-recipes'.  Not every experiment of mine in the kitchen is a success, but as Tom Krause quoted - 'There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them.' .

Where do I get the recipes from?

...from everywhere - my own crazy ideas, cookbooks, magazines, websites, fellow bloggers and sources of all kinds...and every time the idea/recipe is 'borrowed' or adapted, it is duly credited to its original author.
