Remember those days when we would pretend to act like our parents by dressing up like them and would end up getting entangled in the long pants, ties or smudged lipstick all over the face.
Days when we would spend the entire day playing, eating and lazing around until the cool breeze lulled us into deep and peaceful sleep.
Days when fights were restricted to who had the best set of crayons, toys or who would bat first?
Days when stress was only when you have not completed the homework, your bestie has remained absent without informing you or what will you eat after getting back home from school.
Days when we were showered with money in the name of the Tooth Fairy and Santa.
Days when we had hundreds of questions and all were answered without any complaints.
Days when tears would fall down only because we had missed watching our favourite cartoon.
Days when we would dream of building castles in skies, riding unicorns, having a house just like our favourite cartoon character and as creative as it could get.
Days when we believed in all the magic tricks blindly.
Days when we would sleep early and finish the veggies for someone might come and steal our toys or scare us at night.
Days when boarding schools and hostels were the scariest places in the world.
Days when everybody’s birthday became our birthdays.
Golden days of innocence. Childhood days are moments and memories of glory and sweet nostalgia. We did not really care about anything and especially the food that we would eat.
However, now that we have grown up we need to take a little care of our health. Taking care of health does not mean restricting ourselves from what we love to eat. It is about enjoying everything that we crave and love to eat by taking utmost care in the ingredients that go into it.
