Damn Hungry

I came back home tired. I wanted to desperately eat something. I went to the kitchen, looked for the things I could eat right away. I couldn't find anything. There weren't any chips, nothing to snack or munch on. Only thing I could have was water. I knew that water alone couldn't help me beat hunger. I cried. I screamed.

It is true, the statement, hunger changes people. I could sense what hunger was doing to me.

It made me aggressive. It made me feel agitated. It made me restless.

That day hunger taught me a big lesson. It made me understand the value of food. It made me feel the pain that the poor kids go through. We often waste food, throw away leftovers, we don't care.

That day, made me realise more than what I knew.

I pledged from then on to not waste food anymore. I promised myself that I will only take as much I need and finish whatever is on my plate.
