Collector of random facts, a professional daydreamer, and an overthinker! I run on caffeine and curiosity. When I am not busy saving the world (in my dreams), you will find me asking why, how, where, when - love finding answers about everything everyone around and far!

The word ‘modak’ comes from Sanskrit, approximately meaning “a small portion of bliss.”Having lived for almost 20 years in the eastern side of Maharashtra, the Ganapati festival we celebrated at home—thanks to my mom’s unending enthusiasm—always had ‘fried modaks’ as offerings.I don’t remember tasting ‘steamed modaks’ in those years. Each time we ate the fried ones, my mom would mention the steame...
