Hi dis is Rajeswari Vijayakumar, Author of Rajees.Samayalarai thanks for spending ur valuable time for knowing about me.

My interest in cooking started during my school days, by helping my mom who cooks well with a balanced taste .

I was born and brought in sandal city - sathyamangalam, a small place in erode district.I completed my school in the native, did my under graduation in Mechanical Engineering and pg degree in Enginneing design as i always used to say proudly.After completing my graduation in 2010, started working as an assistant professor for three years.

After marriage i quit my job and settled chennai with my hubby Vijayakumar, who is working in software field. This is the period where i started to spend most of the time in my kitchen to do the best recipes for my hubby.after then only cooking got serious in me..

On october 2014, we got a meaning into our life, dats the arrival of my little princess Kaashini,who made to feel our life more precious and valuable so now my world revolves around her and taken more conscious and interest in cooking got elevated.
