Breaking bread has such a deep meaning; to break bread with someone, to share a table, is to say - I trust you. I invite you to this meal, where we will talk about everything- from the mundane to the deep- and it is such a powerful thing to share in this way. You see there’s a special kind of magic that surrounds us when friends gather around a table to share a meal. The laughter flows more freely, the conversations become richer, and the bond deepens with every bite. The fireside committee endeavors to build such friendships by arranging such gatherings and our generous members volunteer to host groups to foster kinship and friendships!. The evening hosted by Rtn Dr Sharon Krishna Rau and Lakshminarayanan at their house was testimony to the unique relationship between friends and great food, and how these two elements combine to create some of the most cherished moments in our lives.
