Festival time

~ The Bond of Love ~

India is a land of festivals .Virtually celebrating each

day of the year ,there are more festivals here than

anywhere in the world .To celebrate the beautiful

bond of love n purity between brother and sister ,

we celebrate Raksha Bandhan .Raksha means

to protect and bandhan means a bond. The festival

is marked by tying of a holy thread adorned with

decorations by the sister on wrist of his beloved brother .

This thread called Rakhi is the symbolic representation

of the unspoken promise to protect the sister from

all evils .........The day will be full of treats & sweets

so a simple festive themed breakfast is a must to

Keep the lil one rocking

Food of Love

shoestring licorice/jelly sticks ribbons.

Celebrations ..

~ Double Celebrations ~

Today is surely the much awaited time for

celebration. Along with Friendship day , its time

for Little Food Junction's 2nd birthday too....

Time really flies when you are having fun .When I

started this blog two years back I had no idea

what blogging was all about , I was unsure of how

many viewers will actually like such foody creations ??

But the immense response from all you wonderful

viewers , National & International media has always

kept my spirits rocking . Today while thanking

all I remember my favorite lines from Robert Frost's

'Road not Taken- " I took the less trave

lled one & that

has made all the difference."

Its been a fun two years...look forward to see you

around for many more years to come.
