A long time ago when college festivals were a deal big enough to be bothered with, the Martyr Momos were born on a July evening. We needed a name for the blog event and we decided that it had to have something to do with food. I don't know about the Martyr part. We picked that out on a whim.
The Momos have been around for longer than the blog they made. I met Krati Tandon on a very rainy day in 2008. Don't tell me it's a cliche, It really was raining. You can ask her. We became friends almost instantly. If I hadn't met her, I am pretty sure I would a different person. I wouldn't write as much, I wouldn't have as many bangles and there would be long blank spaces in my day; spaces which now are devoted to talking to her on the phone about the many inane things that plague my life.
Then we did the blog event and had such a good time, that the blog name became a part of us.
Krati Tandon is a super momo - with her tech advice and her whizzing around with her camera, her enthusiasm and her jewelery. She does sharp market research by day and writes hauntingly beautiful poetry by night. Her evenings are taken up by Momo meetings, buying wooden bookcases that are full of character, bike trips with her face wrapped up in scarves and educating the ill informed about best technology available in smart phones.
She is very 'sunshine on a Christmas morning interspersed with wise words and funny stories'. The best kind of festive sunshine, don't you think?
