Blog Reviews

As I don’t have much to update today, I thought of writing a one liner review of the blogs I read regularly:

General Blogs

1. Nandini’s Niche

Witty writing style, sharp observations, her posts on feminism offer excellent material for debates, PLUS I get to know more about what’s happening in my SIL’s life and mind

2. Gillette’s Journal

Sometimes offers detailed opinions on geeky topics like fonts but otherwise is a good and funny read with most of his posts dripping with sarcasm

3. Sayesha on the Rocks

Honest and straight from the heart, she has a refreshingly simple and fun writing style. Comes across as a great person to hang out with

4. Juice

A bindass girl with a jet-set lifestyle, total fashionista - I absolutely enjoy her posts on shopping and designer shoes and clothes and of course Brendan

5. Ram Pyari

Seems like a honest, hard working girl, obsessed with getting good grades and meeting goals. Reminds me of myself in my school and college years.

Cooking/Food Blogs

6. Bong Mom

Great recipes (even the non-Bengali ones are really good), humorous writing style

7. eCurry

I use this blog more for non-desi recipes and non-main dishes e.g. appetizers, desserts, jams etc

8. One Hot Stove

Excellent vegetarian recipes, a very talented girl with a flair for writing, cooking, knitting etc. etc. Seems like a really nice person at heart

9. Aayi’s Recipes

Good source for everyday food – simple sabzis, dose, parathe etc. Lots of authentic Konkani recipes but I don’t use those as they are too elaborate for me – I am the jhatpat cook.

10. Zaiqa

Excellent Hyderabadi cuisine, most of my meat recipes come from here

11. Cooking is my passion

Cake designer and entrepreneur from Malaysia. Inspires me by how hard she works and what she has managed to achieve in her life by just believing in her talent and working hard.

12. Masak-Masak

Detailed reviews of Malaysian restaurants with mouth watering photos. I just look at the photos and gain a few pounds

Backup Blogs (I read these when the above blogs have no updates)

1. Just a Mother of Two

Seemed interesting initially but is too emotional and “chicken-soupy” for my kind

2. Deep Thought

Overall time pass to read but we don't see eye to eye on some issues
