Day 11: A general state of well-being

Love doesn’t conquer all, food does. Most of the world’s problems are, in some way or the other, related to food. And as this series of posts has made evident, mine too. I’m seriously considering farming in a little box (read: vast patch of land in Mumbai). Growing my own food, and then eating it; maybe I’ll start with uprooting one of my mom’s plants.

Maybe I’m being a little too ambitious, and senile.

After my stomach scare yesterday, my gut spoke to me again. She asked me to make some palak, and I listened to her. My easy-breezy recipe which involves chopping—insert vege’s name here—and garnishing it with very little of everything on the kitchen counter, before letting it sit on the stove, works wonders.

Though my stomach was up and running thanks to the magic potion, the palak was a safe bet. And extremely edible too! Not only did I eat it for dinner but I’ve also dared to pack some up for tomorrow’s lunch.

Cooking, and not living off frozen food/Maggi, is more empowering than I’d ever give it credit. To celebrate this small joy, I treated myself to Mango ice cream today, and a play at Prithvi tomorrow.  

So what I’m really trying to say is:

1) Unwind.
