I've always lived with my Nana-Nani and my Nani makes amazing food so I barely cook. I recently graduated as a Software Engineer and before I could look for a job, the pandemic broke and we were all under lockdown. The search came to a halt and the anxiety about the future hit me hard. I had to get out of that feeling so I diverted my mind into exercising, yoga, meditation and even cooking. I started with helping my Nani by chopping vegetables, making tadkas, kneading soft doughs and in no time, I was rolling round chapatis. Cooking kept my mind in the present and made me patient and consistent. My Nani is glad that I don’t make a mess while cooking anymore, that gives her great joy. My Nanaji says that he doesn’t have to go out to a restaurant because I can cook almost everything. Now I don’t want to stop cooking. Thank you, Lockdown!
