Crumbs

Dear Diary,

I am a bit upset today hence philosophical. Time is the only constant, they say but this constant changes everything... Everything. Who would have known 2020 would be known by COVID19. All of us seem to be like characters in a Hollywood movie...Quarantine being the buzz word today.

You know it was right after dinner that this thought struck me of life is so fragile and food being so important. The moment my ten-year-old son refused to finish his plate clean as he was full I, as usual, picked it up and instead of turning towards the bin I took a bowl and emptied the leftover in it... FOR BREAKFAST. Hey! I literally told myself. What had I just done! I didn't throw away the leftover food. I had relearnt my childhood lesson "Don't waste food". Funny isn't it? Are we going forward or backward in time I wondered!
