Local artist, Meeta Garg, adorns our front cover with a mixed media painting entitled, “Thoughts.” Her paintings begin with an idea based on strong ob- servation with no conscious attempt to paint in a particular style, letting the subject dictate how she paints. Meeta states, “ Thoughts is a representation of different kind and number of thoughts our mind is always filled up with. Some are positive and bright, others are dark and negative. Every thought has an- other thought in it. Some are big and for long term, some are there just for a second. The human mind is always creating its own beautiful world with these thoughts.” Please read Meeta’s interesting bio on page 8. We encourage you to view our ONLINE RECIPE BOOK this Spring Season!
