Everybody's at home

Strange stuff.....appa does not work anymore, amma is recuperating at home, my gran is too old to work, she anyways hasn't ever worked in her long life . I am not working right now. Everybody is at home. And no one is bored!!

Have you ever fed someone with your hands? It is a deeply satisfying act. I mean hmm...beyond just the act of delivering a morsel of food to someone who can't him/herself.....Beyond the neuroticism of feeling short on time all the while....and thrusting a granola bar and coffee hurriedly into your own mouths, as you feed your own ego with low cal fattening stuff, do your own job, love yourself, even love others coz you love them loving you back..quite unlike all that ersatz ......just a bit of languorous timelessness to it.
There's also a feeling of giving to it...at an individual level.Of appeasing the hunger of someone else.I guess cooking for someone is also somewhere there in terms of satisfying your Giver instincts.I never wondered when my mother would go through all the trouble of cleaning, cutting, cooking to make us a huge bowl of Sunday evening 'tiffin' while she herself ate little or none of it.Lakshmi...your khane ka khazana is no less appeasing to you than it is to us I guess?
