Back and some good tidings!

Am back from my little vacation in Coorg and my cousins wedding in Mysore ! Coorg was fantastic. The highlights of the visit were hobnobbing with elephants ranging from 2 years to 50 years at the Dubare Elephant Training Camp and walking around the coffee plantations. Plenty of coffee, pepper and cardamom there-enough to keep the foodie in me happy ! (Pictures below)

The wedding was superb, all of us cousins and our aunts and relatives getting together after a long time. And dont get me started on the food- I wont be able to stop. But I cant stop myself from telling you that the guests will remember the wedding feasts for a long long time.

I was welcomed back into Bombay by two very happy tidings, surprisingly BOTH from Switzerland. One, I finally received the BPW postcard from Pam of Posies Place, a lovely card that she photographed and made herself. (Picture below)

Secondly- my Mumbai marketplace entry was declared winner for Food Destination-2 (My local green market) hosted by Makiko of Just Hungry. This is my first brush with winning a blog contest and Im still on cloud 9.
