We all love to win, it makes us feel good.

Well, I can only remember winning a couple of small events during school days and receiving colourful plastic pencil boxes or laminated certificates from the principal…Those were small wins, but were wins nonetheless.

I was in for a surprise when I received a call from Aval Kitchen magazine informing me about my nomination for ‘Best Food Stylist’ award.

Aval Vikatan is a very popular regional magazine from South India and they conduct many such award functions at regular intervals to felicitate various artistes in music, cinema and other creative fields.

And I won!

“They called your name mom” my daughter shook my hand, she literally had to push me off the chair when my name was announced for the award.

To my surprise the stage was already full…they invited all the eminent chefs from Aval vikatan magazine and their art director to felicitate me with the award.

I was overwhelmed and emotional at such an honour. To whoever said that “receiving an award is not just for show, it is a symbol of respect and acceptance of a greater responsibility”.
