Food

 Food is a memory. I am not sure it is the right usage. But food do have some connection with creating good memorable moments in life. Good food or having food with right set up of people is always memorable. Certain foods evoke memories as well. 

I recently had neypathiri and beef stew from Sona restaurant in MG road Cochin. Food was good. it was with right set of people. And it did revoke a sweet childhood memory. 

When I was young, we hardly frequented restaurants like we do these days. It was mostly on occasions like festivals or celebrations. Having food from restaurants was always enjoyable. 

My father and I, normally walked back to our home after buying groceries. On one such occasion, as we were returning home, a sweet aroma from a restaurant made me stop in my tracks. My father noticed me standing infront of the restaurant. Slight tilt of the head and flared nostrils possibly indicated what I wanted. With a smile he took me inside the restaurant. And we continued our journey with an additional purchase of neypathiri and chicken curry. It still remains one of the best dish I had and a fond memory as well.
