Hopey ( 20th Sep 2000 - 7th July 2009) lives on ...

Welcome to Doggone Yumm !

My name is Girija and I was born and raised in Bangalore. As far back as I can remember, I have shared a very special relationship with animals.Particularly, dogs. I feel very fortunate to have shared my life with some really wonderful doggie friends. They touched my heart and enriched me as a person so much more than anything or anybody else in my life. I dont know how many of you feel this way.. but I cant help but acknowledge the fact that they seem to have almost flawless personalities. I do know a lot of wonderful people but I am yet to see such abundance of goodness in one person, consistently all the time.

I also have a very  special interest in food. I am a dietitian by profession. I trained to be a diabetes educator and counselled people in these areas. When I look back upon my personal journey, I can see how these interests have woven such a  breathtakingly beautiful pattern to the fabric of my life.

Doggone Yumm is a chronicle of a woman who dearly loves animals. Specifically, dogs. Actually, biophile may be the word for her. She is a foodie. She is a thinker. This is my story of how and why I turned vegan.

I owe it to Hopey for spurting my process of evolution in the very concept of food.It was a revelation for me to see how abstract the idea of food can be ...even to a dietitian!! I wanted to launch this blog as a birthday present to my best best friend ... it is all about food ! Slurpp !! Yumm  !!! I can feel Hopey's approval WOOF for this :-)
