🌿 Welcome to Mindful Table
Welcome to Mindful Table—a quiet corner shaped by the fragrance of morning tea leaves, the golden warmth of sunlight across veranda floors, and the taste of simple meals that carry both comfort and memory.
This space was born out of dew-drenched mornings in the tea gardens of Sreemangal, where silence was broken only by birdsong and the rustle of leaves. It also grew from the kitchen—where my mother turned ordinary ingredients into meals that carried a tenderness no recipe could measure.
From these moments, a belief took root: food is more than nourishment—it is memory, culture, and healing.

🌸 A Little About Me
I am Dr. Tanvia Zahin, a medical doctor and researcher, am still discovering the deeper purpose of my journey. I write here with honesty and curiosity, blending my background in medical biochemistry with the personal memories that shaped me.
Artificial intelligence (Chat GPT) is something I enthusiastically embrace when it comes to writing, organizing, and polishing my words from memory, and creating images. For me, collaboration, whether human or digital, is a component of a mindful creative process. I can say frankly that artificial intelligence (Chat GPT) is the heart of organizing, refining, polishing, and writing my words of memory and creating an image of my thoughtfulness.
🍃 An Invitation
Mindful Table does not hurry you. It asks you to pause—
to taste, to feel, to listen.
It invites you to rest for a while, to breathe, and perhaps find in these words an echo of your own journey.
May this space feed both your curiosity and your peace, one mindful note at a time. 🌼
