Yippeeee I've got my Blogspot!!!

Phew! That was a tough decision to make. To have a blogspot or not. But, I guess it isn't such a bad idea after all. I've managed to muster enough courage after seeing my friends appearing to be Pros on this relatively new territory.

I decided to name my spot as Virtual Vindaloo. Virtual for obvious reasons, and 'Vindaloo' to have a connection with my cultural roots. My mother tongue is Konkani (for those of you who have no idea of it, it's spoken along the western coast of India; around Goa, Mangalore) so I wanted to bring in a cultural 'taste' to this blog. For all those who guessed that Vindaloo is the name of a microbe on Mars, here is something to enlighten you. Personally, I just love the food cooked in a traditional konkan home. Especially the fish and pork mmmmmmmh!

I need to thank my friends Anu and Arun for giving me the courage to start my own blog. Hope I could cook up a special Vindaloo for you guys. Anyway, now that I've got started, I hope I am successful in making this blog as tasty as possible.

Tumcho Flavin!

(That's konkani for Yours)
