             ॐ देवी कात्यायन्यै नमः
Devi katyayani is the daughter of  Rishi Katyayan. Maa Katyayani rides a lion and carries a sword. She is a fierce form, worshipped as the warrior goddess who destroyed Mahishasura. Devi Katyayani rules the Ajna (third-eye) chakra, the center of  intuition, inner vision and decisive insight. She represents courage, protection, and righteousness.
Wearing grey invokes inner stability and the ability to face challenges with grace.

The warrior goddess who destroyed Mahishasura blesses us with courage. Wearing grey brings balance and strength.

Life is a journey of evolving roles, each with its own beauty and wisdom. From the structured world of academia to the ever-evolving realm of homemaking, I have embraced each phase with passion and grace. When my children settled into their own lives, I found myself with a renewed sense of purpose—to document and share the wealth of knowledge I have gathered over the years.

During the lockdown, I realized that my experiences in cooking, home remedies, and life’s simple yet profound lessons could serve as a source of inspiration for others. Meticulously and with great concern for the palate, gut health, overall well-being, and the emotional gratification of savoring each preparation, I began crafting a collection of love-filled, cherished recipes, time-tested remedies, and stories woven with warmth and wisdom.

I write under the name "Rajeshree's Kitchen", where I share detailed recipes—the kind that provide exact measurements for ingredients like salt and water, which are often left to personal interpretation in most other kitchen blogs. Additionally, I include practical tips with clear reasons behind them, ensuring that every piece of advice is rooted in understanding and experience. My aim is to make cooking approachable yet precise, helping readers not just recreate dishes but truly connect with the joy of cooking.

This endeavor is my way of preserving traditions, sharing insights, and connecting with those who seek both knowledge and comfort in life's everyday moments.
