No matter where one stayed, or studied, there was always a home-cooked meal in the lunch-box.Even with changing trends, a home-cooked meal is special.
Even when one began working, Amma would take charge of the lunch-box and there was always a balanced meal inside.It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no one in this world who does not like Amma hand cooking.
There is a lot of uniqueness in Amma’s hand.
It’s not just about the dishes and flavors, it’s the love and preparation that goes into every meal.
And Amma has to think of all aspects of the lunch-box.Will the meal stay, hope it does not spill.
And it would always be enough for everyone who shares it, including friends.And Amma would always make sure the dishes are special.
The traditional dishes like Mango Dal, Sorakaya pappu or the very popular and tasty fried delicacies like Dondakaya, Bendakaya and Thotakura.
Aruna Priya, mother of two, says, “A lunch-box is not as simple as it seems.It means so much more.It creates a relationship.
Sometimes it is not only about a mother and a child.It is about my child and his friends.
If they like what is in my child’s lunch-box, then there are friendships cultivated.I have all of this in my mind when I prepare the lunch-box.Other mothers also share the same sentiments.
Mitesh Lohiya, Director, Sales & Marketing, Gold Drop, says, “During the pandemic, the lunch-boxes were replaced by meal times with the family but the role of the mother didn’t change.
In fact, there was more innovation happening in the kitchen to ensure the whole family was happy and these were the times that everyone realized that home-made meals were all about swad jo zindigi se jud jaaye.”
Schools are reopening and everyone’s nearly back at office.Lunch-boxes are going to start again too.Will you think of home every time you open your lunch box?
