Life Puzzle

Eterno is my brain child.

You know in our country, a girl and a kitchen go hand in hand. So I’m not a great cook but yeah I love cooking. I get happiness from seeing people's eyes when they eat the food I’ve cooked. In the same way, that feeling when you can light up someone’s soul with something you designed. That is a privilege and an honour. I’m kinda proud of myself that I know how to manage my kitchen and my work both.

I believe there is an energy in this universe that is beyond science and beyond any explanation and we all pray to that energy. We all are a part of this grand plan, where we think that somethings are meant to be, but actually, our life is the result of the choices we make. And when it comes to family and love, that's when our choices matter the most. So pray to any god, it doesn’t really matter. But have faith in that energy, have faith in people because when you do, when you put others before yourself, good things start happening.

As I’m getting older I realized we take ourselves too seriously, I mean we are not making rockets, we should clam down, have fun and just enjoy this beautiful journey that we have been put on. I do that. The best thing we all can do is to laugh at ourselves, at situations and find a moment every single day to appreciate this funny thing called life.

Well, this episode is originally about how I’m not a cool chic but an old school.

So what happens at the end of ’Tamasha’, the old storyteller makes us realize we meet ourselves quite literally during the journey. When Ved begs the storyteller to help him end his story, he dismisses Ved saying that it's your story and you have to take it ahead the way you wish to.

I feel deep inside our souls ,think about it right now , there is one or two, maybe more things that we are not doing because we are not sure about it, or things that are kind of half baked situation in our heads and we just don’t know how to bring it to full circle. You know we gotta take a leap and do it even if we are not ready. I know it’s something not comfortable it’s scary.

Have you ever opened Instagram, scrolled on Instagram, gotten bored of Instagram, then closed Instagram, and opened it again because you got bored of not being on Instagram?

Have you found it hard to just eat a meal without watching something?

If you or anyone you know has these symptoms,

I have terrible news that you might be totally fucking normal

We are not addicted by accident. There are huge businesses that run on how much time and attention we spend on these apps. The smartest designers, engineers, and business people in the world are currently right now, thinking about how to make us scroll more and binge more.

Yes, we make the festive season grand but it is always going to remain incomplete without family, which is the core reason for the celebration to begin with.

And of course, our friends become families when we are away from home at these festive days.

It is always bittersweet but this festive spirit never dies, because as they say you can take Indian out of India, but you can not take India out of an Indian.

One language, one emotion, that every person from every race, nationality, religion has in common is food.

Everyone feels the same about food no matter what part of the world they are in or where they come from.

Ever tasted a flavour which instantly transported you back in time to a childhood memory? A piece of cake or spoonful of tulsi ginger Kadha, ever reminded you of comforts of home?

THATS THE POWER OF FOOD!

We chase this illusive feeling, the spark and passionate love and as soon as it diminishes we are disappointed. Our imaginations are left to believe that passionate kiss is the final scene. Is it? Is it how it feels like to be forever?

This episode is dedicated to all our desi siblings who go above and beyond themselves to us settle down in our lives and answer every query and question we have, at any hour of the day or night. The kind of bond we share with our sibling from ‘ don’t to dare touch my things ‘ to ‘here I got this for you’

The main idea I’m trying to bring out here is that families try so hard to create this perfect daughter who is going to someone’s place one day, that they forget their son needs to learn to be self sufficient too.
