food-full
‘Fast-paced generation’, a term that is used to co-relate with everything now. Everywhere it is there. Everyone belongs to a ‘fast-paced’ generation apparently! Well, one thing will always stay slow despite a fast-paced generation or a slow one.
Cooking.
Yes, mere gestures of chopping, grating, pouring, frying, kneading, mashing, and all the verbs you can recollect related to cooking.
We all end up in corners of this big-tiny world where we accidentally find that comforting food even though the place or the people are not comforting enough. That’s the beauty of food maybe. Maybe, food has a different magic to offer our soul!
My life has been kind enough to offer me a range of cuisines from different states of our nation. To have a count, I have tasted cuisines starting from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Orissa, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Assam, Lucknow, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujrat. Well, it is obvious I didn’t witness all the cuisines, yet enough to get the gist of the essence of each place.
I am pretty sure we all have done a little trial and error before picking up the perfect pani-puri wala or maybe that chai/coffee wala who adds the right amount of sugar. (Majority of my friends crave coffee. So I know the pain of coffee lovers when the proportion of coffee and sugar isn’t right!)
As SRK told in Dear Zindagi, there are different relations with different people! I concluded that I have different people for different cuisines as well! No one hooman I know likes all the dishes from the menu of my life.
One of my closest friends, Karishma (Kuku) says good food = good mood. Adding more to that good food equals a good day or maybe a great optimistic you. I request you do a little self-noticing act consciously. All you have to do is notice yourself someday when you have that finger lickin meal that makes you wanna take a nap.
Let me know if you ever try it out. Drop me a text. Tell me what was your observation of your good food moment. I will listen to you gladly.
