2015 was the year when my Instagram connections rose from something around 100 to 700+ This encouraged me give more attention to what I post, and how. And as the year-end is approaching, I see my photos being noticed and loved more. This, obviously, is a great feeling. Here I am sharing few posts from 2015 which are my personal favourites.
My first post of the year was a lip-smacking Bengali dish from the Bangladeshi restaurant, Kasturi.
Few days later I attended the conference to celebrate 10 years of Bengali Wikipedia. The cake that was cut at the end of the first day of the conference –
My mother was suffering from kidney disease and was following a restricted diet which was boring and monotonous. Doctors allowed exceptions about once a month and this is what I cooked for her one fine January evening –

If you want a good Chinese meal, this is one of the best places in Calcutta –

I always love this type of things at the end of the year. So good to see your year in review and remember those special moments all over again. I love your pictures
Thank you Monica
Thanks for sharing the unique and interesting culture-filled photos! Now that my children are in college, hubby and I have been enjoying eating out and trying exotic dishes. Not quite as exotic and authentic as the dishes you have eaten, however.
There is still so much of the world I haven’t seen and would love to visit the Far East some day!
All the best for your travels in the east and I am sure you would love it.
What an amazing year you guy had!! I had a blast looking through mine and seeing all the places we had traveled to and seen this year! I can’t wait to see what is next for 2016 should be an amazing year.
Wishing you all the best for 2016!
Food and travel – my favorite things to see pictures of! These are so unique and cultural! I am so glad your Instagram followers grew this year, it is no wonder! I look forward to what your Instagram feed will look like in 2016!
Thank you Karissa. And yes, food and travel really are the best buddies.
Thank you for sharing your best of 2015. I still have to figure out what mine was…but thank goodness everything is documented in Instagram. Hoping you have an equally if not more fabulous year in 2016! Happy New Year!
Thank you Cara. Happy New Year to you and your family!
I have to admit, my mouth is watering! You have so many great food photographs in your Instagram feed. I think the most riveting is the street photography shot. Very compelling.
Thank you 🙂
Love seeing all of your bests. I need to go back through all of my pictures. I am starting the project 365 and I can’t wait to see what types of pictures I am going to be taking tonight.
All the best for your project 365!
Those are all such amazing photos. I think the cactus has to be my favorite. I always find those so fascinating.
Thank you Cat!
Your year has certainly been interesting. I have enjoyed browsing through your instagram photos. I like the mushroom on toast pic. Will you make me some now that I am hungry?
Ha ha! Thank you and am sure, my wife would love to make some 🙂
My 2015 Instagram was mostly of my daughter lol She was the highlight of the year for sure! Happy New Year to you!
