Here I am, sitting in my room pondering over how fine the day went and how happy I feel. Nothing special happened at work or classes; neither did I meet someone special; nor did I end up winning a lucky draw. Then what makes me feel so happy about the day? The food! Yes, homemade food that I cooked. This is not to boast or exaggerate, but yes it did make my day. Its a very true fact that when you eat well and eat what you really like, your mood automatically becomes awesome.
One reason why most of us miss home is the tasty food served timely by our Moms. They are just great! The food cooked with love for one's family/close ones definitely has its own flavor. Love and affection along with the ingredients is what gives it the distinctive flavor of a Mother's recipe. Isn't it why we are so eager to back home whenever we get a chance while staying away from home?
Have you ever noticed how much your mood can change when you eat something that you really like or suits your taste? If not, notice it next time. You will definitely feel a lot more better in spirits when your taste buds are satisfied. Thats why probably most girls feel so relieved from bad moods after eating a bar of their favorite chocolate. This feeling cannot be put into words and everyone of you has to live that moment to feel the joy.
And maybe from now on, though I will be missing home every moment, I guess I can brighten up my spirits by cooking some tasty food and satisfying my appetite. Good food brings good spirits in anyone.
Still, I am waiting for the day I will be getting back home - to stand eagerly next to the stove while amma cooks, keep asking her if she's done cooking knowing that it will take time, having the first bite of the food for tasting before she even switches off the stove, and finally having a meal with the entire family TOGETHER.
The day isn't very far!
