Kitchen 🍜




Kitchen! It's not just a word but a room filled with experiences. Recently my mom went on leave, yes! Moms deserve leaves too. So the kitchen itself opened its arms to me, my sis and my niece. [More of hunger opened its arms] It was a playground for us.

The kitchen is a chemistry-lab, where your output so badly depends on everything, like seriously everything. [Even the air you breathe out! just kidding]  The long list of my bookmarks, YouTube videos and cooking blogs has been a savior in these difficult days 😓😬! Only because I never paid attention to my mom's recipes or her instructions! I am this typical 21st century lazy girl who enters Kitchen only to search food in the refrigerator! Some days, kitchen would give great joy by equalizing your expectations to what you made, while other days are plainly a secret passage to the dustbin, the only customer waiting for your failed attempts. Facing the dustbin is nothing less than facing your fears, it gets really dirty since it's filled with regret of wasting food {also effort, which I would rather spend on scrolling Facebook pages 😂}. A failed attempt at making something new is disheartening and stops you from entering the kitchen again! That's when the instant noodles picks you up 🍜, till you get fed up of it too 😁

I had no clue kitchen would give me so much perception in life. Barefoot on the playground, I realized that it's easier to complain rather than make! We don't thank our moms enough for their efforts; it's the void that makes us realize life is not always what you make out of it, at least in Kitchen.

Covid 19 : My Journey - Part 1

 11 August 2020 Tired of my dad's uninterrupted coughing for over a week,  I finally managed to convince both my Mom & Dad to go to the hospital. My dad asked me to check on viral fever clinics, I nonchalantly said, 'there is no such thing as a viral fever clinic, but there are hospitals and we should be heading towards that'! [Young blood, too adamant to even listen to a piece of advice] Then I googled, and he was right, just that it wasn't being called a 'Viral fever clinic', but BBMP fever clinic and apparently they take up COVID test for free. I was embarrassed for opposing to my dad, but then I quickly found the nearest center, and we headed towards that. Leaving the house after being locked down forever was refreshing, and I could see some color in my dad and mom too. We reached the Hosahalli Ufwc Uphc [Upper Primary health care ]. There wasn't much of a crowd. But there were some people waiting to get tested. We waited in the queue, and we were as...

The Eternal Wait

A large house with comfortable furniture, a home  theater , a six seater dining table, two balconies, three bedrooms and a tiny kitchen where the coffee was brewing. The perfect view of setting sun through an elongated diwan placed at the corner of a balcony. Life sounds so safe through these materials! The house walls were filled with pictures of kids and grandkids , their stages of growth recorded so beautiful right from their baby steps to their school uniforms!  The pictures look happy with two couples smiling with their kids, the phrase “Family” inscribed on the corner! The refrigerator had too many magnets stuck, with miniature worlds in it. In the center of all the magnets lied the naughty smile of a 1-year-old! On the corner was a wooden heart stuck with a quote "I love you Mom”. The bedrooms had neatly made beds, waiting forever!  Yet, not a speck of dust was seen anywhere. The kitchen had a limited number of vessels, for the sake of just two...

Covid 19 : My Journey - Part 2

Gently absorbing what we had just heard, I picked my phone to inform my team-lead about the reports. He gave me words of assurance. When someone repeatedly says not to worry, the fact is that they are panicking more than you. I called my sister to inform her that her whole family is tested COVID positive. I could sense that she was scared and crying a bit. My sister is really strong, she never cries.  My dad made a couple of calls to inform the near ones. His voice was croaking by now with all that coughing. He was tired. BBMP had informed us that they will give us a second call by the next day. We had lost all the hope by now. My mom wasn't ready to believe it at all, and arguments broke frequently if BBMP faked the tests, with counter-arguments on what benefit will they get on faking the tests. My mom is a huge fan of TV9 (local news channel), so she was gathering the inputs from there. As suggested by the lady doctor, we took our medicines promptly now with more seriousness and ...
