October 2010

I have officially quit. My travels have been fruitful and I have found what I was looking for. Three months ago when I took a sabbatical and headed out traveling a colleague asked me, ‘Is it an “eat, pray, love” thing?’. ‘I am doing the eating part only’, I replied then. But she was right in the sense that overworked and lost I found strength to sit down and think of the things which really matter and to re-learn to accept myself and the fact that my love for food is a legitimate way to happiness, relating to the people, looking at the world and making a living. So I have quit as I am relocating to Istanbul and start running food walking tours for the visitors interested in experiencing rich food and eating culture of Istanbul.
