First of all,wish all of you a very happy International women\'s day,2026.My pal,Swagata Chatterjee is not just only my friend but philosopher,guide & my muse too who inspires me everytime I interact with her.Although she has been into a long spanned interreligious marriage,she has been able to retain her choice of dresses,culinary choices, her constant endeavor for personal growth & accomplishments(she did her MBA post marriage)and her liberal outlook in all walks of life.Because of her this carefree and cool attitude,& nonconformist nature I call her a \"girlfriend material\"though she has tied her knot quite early in life.Apart from being a housewife in a conservative Muslim family,she dreams big to be an entrepreneur and has initiated a saree boutique from home where she has employed several underprivileged Hindu & Muslim ladies from her neighborhood, who have now become self sufficient under her guidance and patronage,and it has indeed helped them to secure a niche in their family dynamics. Moreover,she has got an amazing sense of sanity, to combat any challenges life throws at her.In short,apart from the sisterhood we share,I find her inspiring & motivating enough as she has been able to retain and reinstate her uniqueness just like an unsaturated solution which is not a very commonplace trait seen anywhere.It\'s a real privilege & pleasure to bump into such a charismatic, lovely and wonderful lady with her hands and heart laden with gold. 

#wd26 
My aunt is a warm-hearted and caring person who feels like a second mother to me. She has a very generous spirit and loves helping people, making her a positive role model in my life. She always gives great advice and is there to listen whenever I need her. She is incredibly hard-working. teaching me to always persevere. She has a creative side and loves to spend her time painting. She is very intelligent and often tells fascinating stories from her past. Her cooking is absolutely amazing, and she makes the best food I have ever tasted. She keeps her home very welcoming, making me feel comfortable and happy whenever I visit. She is very stylish and carries herself with confidence and kindness. I always feel lucky to spend time with her.
Sha is not my mother but She understands me like a mother She loves me like a friend

The woman who inspires me the most is my mom. She works hard every day, not only in the kitchen but also in taking care of our whole family. Her love, patience, and dedication teach me the true meaning of strength and kindness. She inspires me to always work hard and help others with a smile.” 💖

#wd26
My biggest inspiration and through these women whom I have develop passion, dedication and creativity toward cooking are my grandma and my mom.  
When I was younger, I used to watch my grandma cook. She would carefully prepare the ingredients and teach me how to mix, taste, and season the food. While watching  her cook made me curious and excited to learn. She encouraged me to help her, and little by little I started cooking simple dishes on my own. 
From my mom, I have learned consistent in taste, balance  in flavours,  textures, keep experimenting with traditional recipes which elevated my journey today  from home maker to home chef as well as food creator. 
Sharing pic of my two inspiring pillars of my life .

#wd26  Happy women\'s day to all women
Everyone says her mother or sister to be her inspirer ,but my helper@ . sawetrisawetri ,who is not educated but hard working, and affectionate person,so inspires me very much . Sometimes she behaves like a daughter. She brings energy, adaptability, and perhaps a fresh, youthful perspective to my daily life. She is likely agile, quick to learn, and brings a sense of light-hardheartedness to solving tasks.Some times ,she acts like my mother, she provides comfort, emotional support, and wisdom. This suggests a deep, intuitive understanding of my needs and a nurturing approach to ensuring my well-being.Her ability to fix problems quickly highlights that she is practical, resourceful, and focused on results. She is likely observant and capable of handling complex situations with simple, direct solutions.This all I realized, when I had fracture in my backbone, she cared for me like a mother and daughter. I was nervous, and feeling darkness in my life but I could defeated obstacles with grace, because she motivated me to chase my own dreams.Her lack of formal education is clearly outweighed by high emotional intelligence. She understands me on a personal level—a skill that cannot be taught in a classroom—allowing her to connect deeply and act proactively. She transformed a house into a home, often with a \"warm smile\" despite her own struggles.Even in difficult situations, she maintains a positive outlook. She taught me that every can overcome obstacles with a smile. Her resilience inspires me to face my own challenges with courage an determination, turning “my mess into a message\" of hope.She has no bookish knowledge, but the formula of giving comfort and happiness\"  Everyone describes her as a person who possesses practical wisdom, deep empathy, or emotional intelligence rather than formal, academic education. One thing that inspires me is How can a person find so much satisfaction and happiness in life without any fame name ,money and security ,in such a tender age, that is the lesson she gives me every time .
This , inspiration and art of living in life and enjoying life in every situation ,she always gives me .
I want to express my deepest gratitude to my inspirer, for changing my outlook on life..\"Thank you for being the light in my life..\"
She didn\'t just change my days; she changed my life for the better.\" That is why she is great inspirer to me .

The woman who inspires me the most is my mother. Since our childhood, she has always done everything for our family with love and dedication. Along with my father, she faced every ups and downs of life with strength and courage. While managing all the household responsibilities, she also worked from home and contributed to the family income with hard work and determination. She not only took care of all our needs but always made sure we were happy, well-fed, and surrounded by love. She never spoke badly about anyone and taught us kindness, patience, and strong values. She even helped me raise my son and gave both of us beautiful values and endless care. Whatever I am today is because of her teachings and sacrifices. Today, she is not well and facing health challenges, yet she still tries to help everyone with a smile. Her strength, selflessness, and pure heart inspire me every single day. Words are never enough to describe everything she has done for us. She is my biggest inspiration — in and beyond the kitchen.

For me heroes really exist in reality. And for me my super hero is my mother. My mother actually is a homemaker . But for me she can do extra ordinary things. She brought me up with a strong faith and a power to face the toughest challenges in life. 
Balancing home and my passion was possible only because of my mom\'s inspiration . She\'s the reason I\'ve pursued my dreams without letting anything hold me back.
I\'ve loved experimenting with cooking since I was young. My mom encouraged me to explore my talent, and with her support, I started cooking on various channels and participating in competitions, where I achieved success. Today, I\'m a Master Trainer for cooking under the State Govt., training self-help groups on various projects. Everything I\'ve achieved is because of my mom\'s encouragement. I have learned from watching my mother to overcome all adversities firmly with a smile. His philosophy of life is the path of my walk.. Here are some beautiful moments spent with my mom...

#wd26 
Someone who inspires lives in the heart forever and that’s what I can say for my mother ,my first guru for everything in life including cooking 
She may not be in the body now but she’s with me every moment ,speaking and guiding from within
Cooking is one of the life skills which I picked up from her  naturally and she taught how it should be done with love ,not as a chore and to remember MA Annapurna before starting work in the kitchen and the importance of chanting mantras while cooking as that makes the food divine and healthy for the family 
The tips and little tricks to make food look and taste good together with giving variation were also instilled in me by her .till date when I am adding salt and spices while cooking ,I feel her saying …bas beta …and my hand stops there ,leading to perfect saltiness and spiciness as needed in that dish 
Her guidance to me was what helped me to look after her and ( give her food which was similar to that which she had taught me to cook ) when she  was in a wheelchair during the last stage of her life 
God could not be felt always so he made Mothers

Generally, it\'s done with a variety of Mango by name \'Ishad\' which is available at my native, but now enjoying this delicacy made using Alphonso. Ishad mango is much more pulpy compared to the other variety of mangoes.💛🧡

Make your daily cooking easier and smarter with these 5 simple kitchen tips that are perfect for everyday use. These small hacks can save your time, reduce effort, and improve your cooking experience.


1. Keep Veggies Fresh: Wrap green vegetables like coriander or spinach in tissue before storing them in the fridge. This helps absorb moisture and keeps them fresh for a longer time.




2. Store Ready Paste: Prepare ginger-garlic paste in advance and store it with a little oil and salt. It saves time and makes cooking quicker during busy days.




3. Keep Rotis Soft: Store hot rotis in a container lined with a clean cloth. This keeps them soft, warm, and fresh for a longer duration.




4. Cut Onion Easily: Keep onions in the fridge for 10 minutes before cutting. This reduces the chances of tears and makes chopping more comfortable.




5. Use Leftover Rice: Don’t waste leftover rice. Turn it into a quick and tasty dish like vegetable fried rice or rice tikki for a delicious meal.






Try these tips and make your kitchen routine more efficient and stress-free.
