A Chartered Accountant by profession, her passion also lies in culinary experiments, travel, reading (and hoarding books), her beloved book club, the Bangalore BYOB, watching Formula 1 races, listening to music at all times, and being a long distance grandmother to three amazing grand-daughters and one grand-dog.

Somebooks need more focus, especially nonfiction with many names, dates and places to keep track of. Currently I have: Jerusalem, The Biography -Simon Sebag Montefiore; Istanbul -Orhan Pamuk (I'm re-reading this one); The Babunama; The Histories- Herodotus. Some food books: Salt Fat Acid Head -Samin Nosrat; Bene Appetit: The Cuisine of Indian Jews- Esther David. For some light relief between these heavy tomes - The Village School - Miss Read(less)

One trick I've learnt is to forget the beginning and start getting into the nitty gritty of the chapter, and then come back and write the opening paragraphs. Having an outline for each chapter also helps.(less)
