Spices, Savings, and Stories: The Beginning of Balance Sheets & Biryani

Introduction: A New Chapter Begins

Hello, dear readers! 🌟

I stand at the threshold of a new adventure—the world of blogging. While I’ve dabbled in journaling before, there’s something uniquely exhilarating about sharing my thoughts, experiences, and insights with all of you. Yes, I know, 2024 might seem like an odd time to start a blog. After all, the golden era of blogging seemingly peaked back in 2014-2015. But as they say, “Better late than ever.” So here I am, determined not to let the sands of time slip through my fingers without leaving my digital footprint.

Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Mariya—a Chartered Accountant (CA) by profession and, more recently, a homemaker. My days are a delightful juggling act, balancing spreadsheets and simmering pots, financial audits and family anecdotes. Amidst it all, my quest for happiness remains unwavering.

Expect a delightful blend of practical financial advice, budgeting tips, and the occasional recipe thrown in for good measure. Because life isn’t just about numbers; it’s about savoring every flavor life serves up.
