Right now, I'm feasting on........
Masala bun and chai!!
Good morning, all! Howz friday treating you? (stay tuned for some fabulous inspiration...artist profile and home tour coming up later today!) :-)
All pictures copyrighted to me. Please don't steal, be original. (We had a bit of a fracas last night. A sneaky blogger was trying to steal my friend's recipes (verbatim!!) and pictures (she chopped off watermarks!) and trying to pass them off as her own. Several of our food blogger friends were affected, but one closest to my heart was as well. Needless to say, some emails were sent out, and the blogger in question has (very reluctantly) removed the offending site. What do you feel about this blatant disregard for the hard work our friends put in? Do you think it should go unnoticed? I most certainly do not! What a loser! Would it have killed her to give credit where it was due? )
What do you think?

I like the pictures, GB. I hate when people steal another's work, be it words or photos. Glad it was resolved. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletePictures are lovely...I agree with you I don't get it either how can people steal someone's hardwork and has courage to call it their own and live with it.Glad that it got resolved.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
mmmmm..that looks yummy. Agree with you completely, there is nothing wrong with crediting work...I don't understand the folks that steal the images...what do they really get out of it? Good for you.
ReplyDeleteYummy, can I join you? That is simply awful...wish people would not resort to these tactics to get noticed!!
ReplyDeletenice light in the first pic.is it fall?
ReplyDeletegagan sorry to hear that...even mine got flicked form the flickr.flicking even at flickr even putting the name in bold capitals over the photos.what to do..?
why do they resort to such tactics,?no idea..
beautiful yeasted bakes Gagan. I want to make such things but yet to find good yeast that will oblige me and rise when asked....
ReplyDeletethats a big concern and I really dont know why they do this...but thats a truth and these thieves are there.
I just need to clarify here....it wasn't my work/recipe/photographs that were stolen---it was my friend's.
ReplyDeleteI only wrote about it because I wanted to bring the topic into the limelight.
Sayantani, I know places in Delhi where you get good yeast, but can't help you with b'lore. :(
ReplyDeleteMasala buns!!!!! I have never tasted one but the name already makes my mouth water :).
ReplyDeleteI too don't understand why people just can't give credit where credit's due. It's so easy. Link and a thank you :).
I loved the image of the cup of chai and the Buddha. Really sad that somebody would go to so much trouble to steal- cutting off watermarks and all that!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pics.. I want to be there.. eating that bun.. How awesome!! I dont understand why someone would steal a pic or content.. its very very sad... that one cannot be original.... pathetic!
ReplyDelete@Sans: they're very similar to the chinese stuffed buns (a colleague of mine used to make them for all our potluck parties---deelish!) Also, you can follow Nitha's recipe...it was excellent!
ReplyDelete@Divya and patty: you're welcome to come over......:)
G, these photos look great. I am going straight to Nitha's space now.
ReplyDeleteGB that masala bun looks divine! I am sure it tasted divine as well! Are there any left?
ReplyDeleteI SO very understand this issue of stealing other's work...it happened to me a few months back and i was really furious.What was really funny was that the blogger in question was also following my blog:)
Hi, just got directed from pree's blog....its really concerning and I think we should take some steps against Plagiarism....
ReplyDeleteAny way glad to visit your blog and will be in touch.....
Yummmyyy!!! I think it was absolutely WRONG and immoral even. GOod you guys stood up! I would kill someone if they said that the food I had cooked was theirs. I dare they!!!
ReplyDeleteThese buns are really great GB.. Thanks to the ones who passed the recipe initially..
ReplyDeleteDear G, thanks for visiting my blog and for the nice comment.....regrading your comment ...then I should say you are my mirror image...as the late afternoons are always the chocolate hunting time in the kitchen for me....hehehe...
ReplyDeleteBTW...I would like to request you to visit my blog as I recently posted a voice against plagiarism.....hope to hear from you...thanks..stay connected....
Oh those buns look yummy. Am going to have to try it. Re stealing pics.....bad bad thing to do. If you must take off of flickr's photo sharing, give credit where credit is due and mention the person's name.
ReplyDeleteSayantani - go to the local bakery at the street corner, they will give you fresh yeast and the stuff works!
wow lucky you ...i love baking and trying out new recipes...will try this one too...Its sad how some unethical people conduct themselves on net ...good that the issue was resolved
