We can cross many persons everyday but some will touch your heart with their smiling face even virtually..

I still cant believe Jayasree Satish of Kailas Kitchen is no more among us...

It was a big shock for me when i came to know through FB by Aparna of My Diverse Kitchen's status that Jayasree passed away on 12th october cause of pneumonia, i couldnt able to believe it and readed her status twice to confirm it, coz Jayasree was quite active in FB with her navarathiri menus and pictures even before few days..

She was a wonderful blogger who never failed to leave her encouraging words and i never failed to visit her space..We never met really but she was someone closed to my heart,whenever i post something in my space or in FB, she never failed to leave her thoughts about it..Through her space, even a beginner in cooking can make out wonderful authentic dishes as she shared many authentic South Indian dishes with wonderful descriptions..We truly missing you Jayasree...
