In Love with Food BY ANGELINE

Rupa, foodie & instagrammer
Food is the most important thing in our lives( at least i think so). You feel low, there is chocolate to console you, your only true companion. You feel happy, then you turn to ice-cream which is a timeless mood booster. I came across Rupa, a Foodie Instagrammer and a Food Blogger who loves trying out different cuisines and indulge in new flavors. Her love for food crosses all boundaries which is why Le Amusant was excited to interview her and know more about her food adventures. Tell us a little bit about yourself: An unapologetic foodie by heart and a digital marketer by profession is what I am … People know me more as‘ thefoodienion’ than‘ Rupa’! Tell us about your love for food and what inspired you to start a food blog? I started writing close to 4.5 years ago. Today, my life runs on food! I am one of those people who loves to spend time planning about what cuisine should I try next! I am always on serious eating break multiple times throughout the day. My friends have named me a COW, like literally, simply because I keep munching something or the other throughout the day! I care less about what I wear to work.. Instead, I care more about what I’ ll be taking for Tiffin What is the best thing about being a food blogger? That’ s a good question. Being a fitness junkie as well as a person who can never say no to food, no matter how deep-fried or sugar-coated it is, one of the biggest challenge for, me is to keep a tab on my portion sizes and of course watching my weight! Tell us a little bit about any of your gastronomic getaway experience. The best thing so far about 2016 is my gastronomic getaway to Pune. January was about to end and I was almost broke! With travel on my mind and just 2000 bucks in my pocket, I decided to visit Pune on a weekend, and like all hungry forever people my first agenda was to explore food in Pune!! And I must say, my visit to Pune ended on a bloated and gluttonous note!
