"Initially, when I would try my hands at cooking, Dad would tease me saying, "Homescience neija"; meaning, he did not like to think of cooking as a profession or even a hobby for me. My mother, on the other hand, supported me through and through.
When I moved out of my house for higher education, I used to eat out often and send the pictures to my younger brother. Seeing the pictures and already being aware of my passion for food, he insisted me to start a food blog. However, the pressure of college was already too much for me.
In college, however, some of my friends and I started a food page on Instagram. Since there were so many of us, handling the page didn't seem burdening. In 2 months time, the future of the page seemed bleak(as we all returned home, due to Covid) and we decided to let go of the page.
In 2020, my Facebook influenced Mother, suggested that I should work on food blogging. My brother, too, asked me to do the same, asked is a subtle way to put it, he forced! I accepted their suggestion and also asked my brother to help me, because I have a job to tend to.
Working with my brother has been a hilarious ride. We disagree and fight a lot, and I always use the trump card of being the elder one. His reply to comments may be boring, but he is the sole reason that the page is up and running.
In a few days, I'll shift to Hyderabad and he will start his graduation. Managing the page might get difficult, but we will try to make it work. The sibling duo is excited for what lies ahead." - Sitabja Sitosna.
