Hi, Thank you for taking a moment to know about me. I am Sandhya born to telugu parents in Pondicherry and was brought up in Sharjah. My native is Thraksha Rama ( Andhra Pradesh) but I have visited only once during childhood, but I remember my parents telling me the place has beautiful temples. My cooking inspiration is partly from my mom as I have never seen her taking off from cooking any day. She always makes delicious and tasty foods specially new experiments and trust me for my critics which I think inspired me in a way.
