Eat Well - Nourish our Body, Honour Your Life

  We often hear that advice: Eat well. But in a world full of fast food, fad diets, and hurried lives, this simple wisdom can easily get lost. Eating well is not just about what's on your plate - its about how you treat yourself. It's a daily practice of love, respect and intention.

Food is Fuel, But also an Emotion
Yes, food gives us energy, But it also carries memory, emotion and connection. A bowl of hot rasam when you are down with a cold, your mother's Sunday sambar with potato fry or a sweet made during special days and festivals (For me it's the curd vada and mysore pak made by my mom for my birthdays) - these are not just meals or snacks or sweets, but are comfort, tradition and care served on a plate. 

To eat well and properly is to honour that connection, It's about not just feeding your stomach, but nurturing your spirit too. 

Listen to your body, Don't go by Trends
Our bodies are smart - they often tell us what they need. But we have stopped listening. We follow Instagram food trends or crash diets hoping for instant results. But eating well is not strict rules or guilt. It is about balance. 

Craving something spicy? Have it. Want a simple curd rice today? Go for it. Your body changes every day, and so should your plate - with gentleness, not judgement. 

Make Mealtime Sacred Again
We have turned our mealtime into multitasking moments - checking phones, watching TV, replying to emails. But the act of eating deserves your full attention.Sit down. Take a breath. Notice the colours, smells, and textures of your food.

When you eat slowly and mindfully, digestion improves, satisfaction increases, and gratitude grows. 

Eating Well Doesn't Mean Expensive or Fancy
Eating well doesn't require imported super foods or expensive diets. In Tamil homes, keerai, millets, kootu, thayir saadam - these humble dishes have nourished generations. Local, seasonal, and simple foods are often the healthiest.
 
Instead of chasing packaged health, return to your roots. Your kitchen already holds the wisdom your body needs.

Food is a reflection of Self - Love
Choosing fresh ingredients, cooking at home, planning meals, avoiding overeating - these are small but powerful acts of self-care. When you eat well, you are saying to yourself I matter. My body matters.

That doesn't mean never having a sweet or skipping a meal now and then. It means forgivng yourself when you slip, and returning to kindness every day.

In Conclusion
"Eat Well" is life advice wrapped in two small words. But behind it lies a universe of habits, emotions, and quite care. It's about being present with your plate and grateful for what it holds. 

So the next time you sit down for a meal, pause, Taste. Smile.

Because eating well isn't just about health. It's about wholeness.

How to Let Go Kindly

The passing on should not be noisy and inhumane. Self - respect is something which can be quite a thing. A drama is not needed in every outcome. Many or much needs and justly merits grace. When you are ready to give something up, be it something processional, connection, a conviction or even a character of yourself, you do not have to demolish a mountain or make a bridge combust to walk away. And this is one way of releasing with out hurting: 1. When you are truthful with yourself you are the first person that you ought to deceive. Understanding is the initial hospitality. Realize truth and facts to yourself before you relay them to someone. You ask yourself-Why are you keeping it? Or is it fear, or love, or habit, or guilt? 2. You dont have to make a big exit Certainly you do not need to say much good bye to anybody. It may be sometimes the kindest thing not to take much hold, not to be very like, instead of being very unlike, as not to say anything very ill. 3. Being the best ver...

Letting go : The Lesson I Din't want, But Needed

There are many things that don’t break us; they just ask to be released. We carry a certain heaviness. It's not because we have to, but because we don’t know how to set it down or let it go. For me, it was a friendship I clung to too tightly. It used to bring joy, laughter, and comfort. But over time, it began to feel like walking on eggshells. I felt responsible for someone else's happiness while neglecting my own. Still, I held on. Letting go felt like failing. It felt like giving up on something that once meant the world to me. Then one day, I realized I wasn’t holding on out of love anymore. I was holding on out of fear—fear of being wrong, fear of being alone, and fear of what others might think. That’s when I learned what letting go truly means. Letting go isn’t always dramatic. It’s not a slammed door or a final message. Sometimes, it’s simply waking up and choosing peace over pressure. Sometimes, it’s not about walking away, but stepping back—kindly, firmly, and fully. ...

When They Walk Away Without Apology - It’s Not You, It’sTheir Conscience

Have you ever found yourself wondering why someone who just you just vanished? Why they chose silence over accountability?Why they disappeared instead of simply saying,”I am sorry?” You are not alone.  Sometimes people don’t walk away because they don’t care - they walk away because deep down,  they know they were wrong, and they don’t have the emotional maturity to face it.  That is what psychology refers to as guilty conscience.  When someone knows they have treated you unfairly - disrespected you, betrayed your trust, or hurt you - they may start avoiding you altogether. Not because you are at fault, but because being around you reminds them of their own failure to take responsibility.  Avoidance becomes their escape route. Accountability is too heavy a burden for those who lack the courage to own their mistakes.  And so, instead of apologising or repairing the relationship, they simply. Remove themselves from your life quietly. Without closure.Without e...
