“Food should be fun”-Thomas Keller

Food for me is an unconditional love.I can’t call myself a “Taurus” if iam the one surviving without food. I read this fact online that Taurus are food lovers and and they deliberately hungry round the clock. Well, in my case it’s quite true.So, for me food is suppose to be my first and last love and it is one thing I suppose I can’t live without. Iam a foodie. Iam always craving for food which in the broader sense means that if iam involved in some activity I need to have food by my side. With food my sole purpose of life vanishes.I can leave anything but particularly not food.

“Life is short,eat dessert first”

With Social media so much intimating our personal lives,daily i get to read quotes about my zodiac sign. The sign very conveniently says that Taurus remain unmarried for long, sole reason being that they are having an affair with their food. This might be an very undermining statement,but as much as it touches my heart and soul the fact of the matter is my heart beat could easily drop over a molten lava cake “picture”, I see somewhere on the internet heavenly presented, advertised and Photoshop-ed by a top notch restaurant of our country.

There is another side to the food. There is a myth that when one gets to smell food, we usually get hungry by that time. Our hunger pangs starts kicking inn. Or in the middle of night if we are feeling hungry and sleepy at the same time it means that we are not ideally hungry but we are sleepy. Sleeping in that case helps better.

Usually, it happens that when i get to visit shopping malls and when shopping is not my thing, food court is the place that happens to be my center of attraction.For me its an “heaven on earth” with all the food brands aligned at one place. Somewhere, it’s the smell of burgers and pizzas,whereas on the other hand it’s a must to treat my sweet tooth to blend the taste of food, which explicitly is artificial with the use of food colors and rotten cooking oil, but their marked presentation make us more favorable towards them.

So foodies out there remember “ghar ka khaana which in simpler terms “ ami kai haath ka khaana” is supercilious than the other one being favored above the rest. This should only be once in a blue moon, which means least the better. Iam a foodie too but in my case I highly prefer ghar ka khaana than any other khaana in this whole wide world.

I know my world can’t move without food but home made food is a highly distinctive reward. I thank God for all the blessings and especially the awe- craving food, something very special I can’t survive without ever in my life.

So, for all the food lovers out there , lets change this little tantrum of the society that instead of love, food is in the air. It’s an essential requirement especially for all those newly married girls who are instructed by their mothers “ Kai beta mard kai dil ka raasta pait sai hota hai”

So, Happy fooding and feeding!
