Rather than investing in jewelry, I invested in myself, I decided to re-invent career, to get out of the standard mould of a woman in late 30s and began caring for my body, my looks, my desires and my dreams, and rest is as they say is history. Culinary world was a choice I made from within that turned into an art of living for me. I believe that this is just a start and a lot is to be achieved."
