Comfort, Chaos, and Sweetness: My Food Story

What are your favorite types of foods?

β€œFood isn’t just about tasteβ€”it’s about the stories, memories, and little celebrations behind every bite.”

Food has always been more than just fuel for meβ€”it’s a story, a memory, and sometimes even a little piece of comfort wrapped on a plate.

If I think about my favorite types of foods, I don’t just picture themβ€”I relive moments.

I remember the way Sunday mornings used to smell like masala chai and freshly buttered parathas in my home. The crisp edges, the soft layers, and that tangy pickle on the sideβ€”it wasn’t just breakfast, it was a tradition. Parathas are still my comfort food, the kind I crave after a long day.

But then there’s another side of meβ€”the one that loves exploring. Street food has a special place in my heart. I can still see myself standing near a busy roadside stall, watching the vendor skillfully mix chutneys into a plate of bhel puri, each bite a burst of sweet, spicy, and tangy chaos. It’s messy, it’s unpredictable, and yet, it’s perfect.

And of course, desserts. I may not have a sweet tooth, but when it comes to warm gulab jamuns melting in the mouth or a creamy slice of cheesecake, I don’t just eatβ€”I savor. Each spoonful feels like a small celebration.

So, my favorite foods? They’re not a single cuisine or categoryβ€”they’re the ones that remind me of home, surprise me with flavor, or make me pause just to enjoy the moment.

Because food, after all, is never just foodβ€”it’s memory, culture, and joy served together.
