                                              AUTHOR

                                              Nandita Godbole

                                              Once a botanist & landscape architect.

                                              Now a personal chef & author, an artist, graphic designer, blogger & poet. 

                                               

                                              Loves freshly brewed chai, the crisp salty ocean breeze, watching monsoon rains & walking barefoot through cold mountain streams. 

                                               

                                              Believes in the strength, positivity of the human spirit. Is spiritual but not a fanatic. 

                                               

                                              Mom of one. Two, if she counts her husband.
