Goodbye... See You All Next Year...

Our bags are packed (including my precious camera & laptop), fridge is cleared (Lata Maami, wrong timing for tagging;), and our taxi will be here any time… Yes, we are going HOME. See you all next year ;) If time permits, I will update my blog with of course delicious posts of Home, Hotel, Dhaba, Gaadi, Restaurant, Street (etc etc) food ~ducks her head~. Oh!!! I am all set for lots of shopping, eating and fultu masti with my family and friends…
Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and Fabulous New Year. Happy Cooking and Blogging :)

India… Here we come…
