SMAFIR - Sport / Music / Astrology / Food / Index / Random

This blog is centred on topics pertaining to Food, Astrology, Music, Sport, Stock Market Index and random ramblings. I love exploring culinary food trails and like to give my unique perspective on diverse epicurean adventures. I am fascinated with the way universe works and hence inclination towards astrology. I adore good old school classical film music from bygone era. As for sports, I have a huge fetish for numbers and hooked on to it. And I enjoy tracking moves made by market indexes.
