Personal: I am married and have two adult children, a son and a daughter, who are twins. Both are engineers, pursuing their respective careers. I enjoy several hobbies. I love to read, dance and work out in my spare time. I also write poetry and draw and paint with acrylic on canvas. I enjoy traveling and I have been to several places abroad including Kenya, England, France, Canada, Costa Rica, the Bahamas, Mexico, Fiji and India. I speak four languages and once could speak six! I love cooking and spend summers improving old recipes and coming up with new. For the past 5 years I have been growing saplings in a greenhouse in my house and planting those in my vegetable and herb gardens. Hence I garden for 7 months, from March to September. I love watching plants grow and bear fruit. This brings out my caring and tending personality! I use fresh ingredients from my garden in my cooking. I cook Indian, Italian, Mexican, Mediterranean and Thai. Since 2009 I have also conducted for six summers cooking classes on cooking Indian food. Once I was invited on 69 News morning show to demonstrate a recipe. I wrote a cook book with over 50 Indian food recipes.
