India, July 28 -- I was recently reminiscing about my childhood vacations in Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh. I particularly remember when I was five years old and my grandmother asked me to pluck garlic leaves and green chillies from her garden. She used them to make a delicious batter with rice flour and salt, cooking fresh chillas (crepes) on a traditional chulha or clay oven in the courtyard. We all sat together and enjoyed them hot, focusing entirely on the happiness of being with family rather than the nutritional value of the food. It made me realise how much that simple joy and togetherness is something I truly cherish.
