FML: Food, music, and love

Fml, this one word encapsulates the three most important aspects of life one cannot live without.

After a tiresome day at work, enduring traffic to the way home and a long travel, the one thought running in my mind is what’s for snacks? As I take the first bite, I relish the taste and unwind almost immediately.

The next-time I meet my angry boss, I think to myself, I should offer him a spoon of gajar ka halwa as he might be hungry!

Food, not only fills the stomach but also gives a sense of mental fulfillment when everything around you is haywire. Take any cuisine from any corner of the world, each dish has its own magic and taste which gives us satisfaction, although, temporary.

In the modern world of feminism, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that food is the way to a man’s and a woman’s heart both!

Moving from stomach to mind pleasing, is, music. Beats and rhythm have been ruling the humankind for decades. Music, in general, can give a soothing touch to a broken heart, or lighten up mood or even be your great companion while finishing never-ending assignments! It connects people from across the globe and makes all of us one united heartbeat.

Whether you know Telegu or not, you will tap your feet and groove to Oo Antava ! Like there is no star without a twinkle, there is no existence without music. A song with meaningful lyrics can bring you closer to your headspace and make yourself at peace with your feelings. Such is the silent power of music.

From music, stems love. Love is peace. With nuclear bombs and some savage physics formula, this world can be destroyed in minutes. It is the willingness for peace that the human race still exists. Love is a broad term and can take any meaning. For a movie buff, it is friendship, for some, respect. While for others, it is a fleeting feeling. Love is intoxicating and a huge seller in the movie and writing business. The feeling of attachment is such that a person would jump over hurdles and tide through the waves like an Olympian in the making. The road of love is slippery unfortunately, and an unpleasant heartbreak will land you in Taylor Swift’s fanclub.

Despite the logical arguments of the mind, the matters of the heart emerge victorious by and large. Love can have several manifestations, with more cases of stalking, killing and cyber crime unfolding these days, it is easy to say that love also means letting go.

In all, good food makes you less angry, while good music gives you great company and love helps you keep in touch with sanity.
