It’s easy to find sadness each day, but to find a moment of happiness is difficult. Last year, I couldn’t bring myself to finish the 100 Days of Happiness challenge. This year, I am more determined to finish it — Counting down to 2016 with Happiness!
The Happiness of Comfort Food at Home
100 Days of Happiness – Day 31
If happiness and food go hand in hand, there’s nothing like comfort food made at home in a jiffy to bring joy in a jiffy too. When the grandmom is not that hungry, and says she will finish whatever little was left over from lunch instead, we decide not to make a lot of items and instead have something light. Today, it was bhel puri and boiled plantain. I love bhel puri, but it’s the boiled plantain that I love more. It is food for every mood, and any time, be it breakfast, lunch, snack or dinner. This is simple food joy. No questions asked!

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
More than boiled plantain, I love pazham pori (plantain dipped in wheat flour batter and crispy fried)! And you are right, when happiness and food go hand in hand, it’s heaven!
I love both. 🙂 I guess pazhampori is more famous, no? 😀 That food heaven is something else, Sreedeep. 🙂
Plantain? What is it? Never heard of it? Does it taste sweet?
I am also thinking of starting on this 100HappyDays journey. Don’t know if I’ll complete it though.

It’s a kind of banana. Ripe, but not too ripe I think. 🙂 Quite delicious! 😀
Try na, Kaddu. 🙂 Better to start and not complete, than not start at all, eh?
I am not a huge fan of bhel puri.. I eat it, but if I had a choice – I will eat something else, like pani puri! 😛
I have never eaten boiled plantains.. ever.

Oh sure, Pixie. 🙂 I love Pani puri too. 😀 That’s going to be a future day of happiness, I’m sure.
