Foody Smile

Who doesn’t love to wake up in the morning enveloped in sunlight peeking quietly down the bedroom windows and the sweet chirrups of birds filling your ears. Well today was not such a day for me. It was a cloudy and a bit chilly morning here. So, leaving the warmth of blanket was one hell of a task. The snooze button was hit and a short nap of 15 mins was taken when again the alarm start ringing. Aaaaaaaah! Welcome to the new morning.

Since I had lots of works pending so I couldn't afford to hit the snooze button again and grudgingly got up promising myself that it will be an early night today. Would I be able to keep my promise? We will see.

After freshening up I started completing my work one by one. With the completion of each task my stomach started to growl a bit more in hunger. I don’t know why but I was determined that I will have my breakfast only after finishing all my work. Human mind develops nonsensical logics sometimes and I was the victim of one such logic today. Huh!

Somehow after 2 hours I completed all the work and by that time my stomach had started making the strangest noise ever heard and yet I had rotis (Indian flatbread) to make. 15 mins more and my breakfast was on dining table and I was ready to gobble up.

I took the first bite in my mouth and the humble roti sabzi (Indian flatbread and curry) felt better than the best dish of top restaurants and hotels. After  4-5 bites my stomach stopped making noise and got back into its digestion process like a howling baby who had been pacified with his favorite  toy. The person who said empty mind is a devil’s workshop should also add an empty stomach is the devil’s crown. My mind was blank and my body felt devoid of any energy, I couldn't do anything else, I couldn't think anything else and each and every cell was screaming give me food… food. That’s what hunger did to me.

After savoring the breakfast I  was smiling contently and started thinking how blessed I am to have food in my stomach. Thank You God for every morsel of food. I am happy today because I am blessed as I will go to bed with a full stomach. Smiling! :)
