It is so nice to see you here. Welcome to my blog. Let me tell you a little about myself. I am a mom of two lovely toddlers, a step-mom to a wonderful teenager, a scientist and a budding baker. I was born and brought up in Hyderabad (South India) and I moved to Boston (US) as a student. Its been 16 years since then, I finished my MS and PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences, went on to do postdoctoral research work in cancer therapy. Currently, I am taking a break and absolutely enjoying the simplicity, the little voices and my time in the kitchen. I started baking few years ago, and it has taken me by surprise that I am so passionate about it. I am here to share my experiences from my kitchen with you, learn from you, and sometimes reflect about life as a mom, as a scientist and as a person living in two different cultures every day.
