I came back ....



... to say "Thank you."

A humble, grateful and sincere "Thank you."


... to say that I'm overwhelmed.
With the love that you have given me.
The support that you have always been.

For your constant presence in my darkest hours.
For your kind words and gestures during my most painful times.

For every email, every comment here, every message on FB.
For every heart warming word.
For every line that made me a little more stronger.

For trying your best to make me laugh.
For every effort to shift my focus away from the bad to the good to come.

Even when you have been caught up with busy days with jobs,
family, your blogs and a thousand other things,
you have not let go of my hand.

You have taken time to mail me, to leave lines here, to keep in touch constantly,
knowing full well I could not even reply back.

Am touched at your selflessness.
And very, very grateful.

It is your encouragement that has made me decide that I cannot let this year go by
with silence on Kichu Khon.


I came back ...
.... to say how much you and your friendship mean to me.
And how much your efforts are appreciated.

... to say that I'll start blogging again.

I do not know what you see in me, my writings or my blog.
I do not understand why you trust me and my recipes so much.

And I'll henceforth never try to.

You want me to blog.
I'll blog.
I'll write, I'll post.


Thank you again, everyone.
My blog friends & my readers.
Thank you for everything.

  18. Hi Sharmila, This might be my first comment on your blog. Unfortunately what happened was the day I discovered your wonderful blog, during my blog hopping, that was the same day you had bid good bye, I was so taken aback, so sad but then I went through each and everypost of yours and each one seemed to be like you sitting across or standing in your kitchen and explaining the recipes, all of them were so simple yet so appealing and full of personal touch and sincerity. Though I kept on checking your blog time to time I had given up hope, but today i was so happy to see you back. I hope whatever sadness had struck you has left you for good and you have recovered from it. May God bless you with strength and convictions and lots of happiness always.
    take care and looking forward to your blogs. Now let me go and read all the posts which you have done after you came back. I am not even a Bengali, but I have some strange connection to the food and literature it seems , dunno what.. any ways. Happy New Year once again.

  20. Good to see you back , Sharmila ! Really missed your recipes, as yours are the only ones I can actually try. I don't know about others, but complicated recipes scare me off...I don't even attempt them !

    Hope to see a lot of you in coming days !!!
