You are what you eat

This morning I had some wish - to eat some street food of my favorite place - out of nowhere, this came to my mind. I have started my exercise again from yesterday - the back pain forced me to get to the normal schedule sooner, even though the blister makes it tough. Looking at some internet search results it appears, Covid possibly could cause the back pain as well but instead of running to a doctor, I am trying to fix it myself first. What surprised me was this desire to go and eat this street food from this particular place after a very long time ( almost after a year). Look what he offers - a bread cutlet, vada, Aloo chop, idly.

And then two varieties of poori - one is very soft, and another is crispy and had - meant to be crushed and mixed with idly.

And then there is stuffed bada as well.

And then there varieties of add ons :

Here is what I ate :

Desire fulfilled - I tried few poori as well - but while eating, I was thinking - do we live to eat or eat to live ? We all know, home foods are always healthy and hygienic. But what about outside food ? Is it normal to have this kind of desire to eat something outside sometimes ? Isn't that an indicator of some positive signs to enjoy the life ?

Covid has forced us change many things - earlier we used to go and eat outside, watch some movies at least once in a month. Sometimes we were even going out of the city to the nearest Puri beach ( 60 km away), which is couple of hours drive. These are our short breaks that used to relax and recharge us to work hard again. Are we going to get that liberty soon ? Is this phase of covid making the last round ? What do you think ? WHO says otherwise, but I have a strong feeling that, this may end soon.

Coming back, I stopped at this tea stall - for some reason, they taste different than what we prepare at home. People out there now even do not bother about wearing a mask. Recently I read it somewhere, some doctors saying go out without mask and get covid - this phase is less dangerous so there is nothing to fear. Rather it helps the body to get immune. There are mixed opinions on that - but hey, there are mixed opinions on vaccines as well. If you have not seen then, have a look at this tweet from @whatsup

It's difficult to decide what is best, but one thing is for sure that we need to get back to normal life soon - last two years have been real boring. Only some good foods and good time can take us back to a normal life - to enjoy again. If we lose the desire to eat, then there will probably not anything else for which we would live, isn't it ? Just a random blog out of mind..Feel free to chime in and express yourself.
