The Kite Runner

I recently saw the movie " The Kite Runner " after reading the book ages ago and it was wonderfully done . Usually i find movies a let down after reading the books but this was a pleasant surprise. The story follows a friendship between two boys across continents . It is essentially a story about loyalty, duty and family.About family secrets that can disrupt a well ordered life. About leaving one's homeland and starting over again. The stunning yet stark landscape of Afghanistan is superimposed by the harsh brutality of the Taliban.

Cooking

I was never a good cook partly because in India there was no need to learn cooking . Initially i was in a boarding school and of course we always had a succession of cooks . During my holidays my Nani and aunts used to cook . Suffice to say by the time i landed in the US i had no clue about the kitchen. Since then i have come a long way .........
Poor DH was quite sporting when he was presented strange dishes ..
I now mostly cook Indian vegetarian food .. and enjoy doing it .. actually its quite therapeutic !
