Hello Friends!! What an eventful week it was. Busy busy busy. We launched our baby this Thursday and introduced it at SXSW, Texas. Yeah, baby!! We straight go to https://www.sxsw.com/
So, we have been busy working on this start-up for last one year or so and finally we wrapped things up and launched it. Kudos to the team back in India that gave shape and size to a thought that came from two very eccentric people from here. You know who I meant. 😀
So big reveal, yeah. It’s a social networking app packed with state of the art features to make your socializing – cool and happening and robust. The app is called TheGoodTimeApp and it comes with a tag line called – let’s get social again. So, yes, let’s get social again…,shall we?
Please hop on over to the App store and download the app and take a look? Here are the links:

I can’t wait for you guys to use it and come back to me with your thoughts. I mean it.
The culture that I come from, we celebrate every new beginning with something sweet. So here is my celebratory home-baked Chocolate Marble Cake that I baked to celebrate our app’s launch. I miss my partner in crime – Vikram, who is the mastermind behind this whole thing. Right now he is busy talking about the app at SXSW. Those who don’t know what SXSW is, check this out here : https://www.sxsw.com/ It’s THE platform for people who want to take their discoveries or innovations to the very next level.
Coming back to the Chocolate Marble Cake, it came out to be so good, moist and delicious that, I didn’t even get a chance to photograph it with my food photography lens. Everyone was eager to eat. So please bear with the iphone pics. My husband took some with him to Chicago as well. Yes, it was that good. From now onwards, this Chocolate Marble Cake is going to be my celebratory cake.
