Srini Venkataramani has never tasted meat. And has no desire to do so ever in his life. He is a firm believer against cruelty to animals. He is the founder of the online mall for cruelty-free shopping at http://www.veggieplaza.com. A software engineer, web developer and internet marketer by profession, his ultimate goal is to become a successful philanthropreneur. He is also an avid Table Tennis Player with a USATT (USA Table Tennis Association) rating of 2264 as of November 2007.

He lives in Las Vegas with his wife Disha Srinivasan, who makes the most amazing vegetarian Indian food. Disha, born on June 13, 1984, has been cooking Indian food on a daily basis for only about a year. She has tried several cuisines but likes Indian the most due to its variety in vegetarian offerings and the ability to create subtle variations in the dishes using spices. She does not claim to be a culinary expert by any stretch of the imagination and this blog simply reflects her trial/error with Indian dishes. Disha is a Table Tennis player also formerly represented the city of Mumbai. Her goal is to start a successful Indian vegetarian restaurant specilaizing in Chaat and Appetizers some day.
