Act of Kindness ( in the Land of Foodies ):

Kindness is an inner desire that compels us do good things to others even if we don’t get anything in return.. For past 8 years I’ve been living a hostel life far away from my hometown Gujranwala, only during the recent pandemic that I managed to spend time with people back home.. Gujranwala is the land of Foodies, People here talk food, they walk food, they sleep food, Apparently everything around here revolves around Food and more Food… Basically our motto is

“Eat your pain away”.

Now the only act of kindness All these Foodies from Gujranwala will accept is ‘Food, Food and more Food’ 😄🥗🍕🍧🍨🥣

So here’s what I did in past 24 hours just as a gesture of kindness towards people i care about, that I haven’t been able to spend much time with over the past decade..

1. Made tea for the Family:

I learnt cooking ten years ago when it was the first time I left my home to live a hostel life in my College Life at GCU Lahore… I don’t make the best tea but my mother likes it and I’m glad I could cheer her up.

2. Spaghetti for my sister:

Ok.. I won’t lie.. I’m not really the one who made it, its actually my sister 😂 and I really suck at making continental food, I just bought the ingredients from the store 😇😉

3. Gol Gappas for the family:

We’ve been craving this for so long since the pandemic. Tbh having a Gol Gappas experience after such long time was totally worth it.

4. Iced Mocha for the Special One💞:

Spending time with someone close to your heart is really a refreshing feeling , someone who stood up for you , someone who back you up each time you fall, Someone who unconditionally supports you 💕 Nothing tops an Iced Mocha in this weather.

5. Party with Best Friends:

I’d love to thank Amal Academy for this… This project ‘act of kindness’ inspired me to spend quality time with some of my childhood friends. It was worthwhile, we refreshed and recalled so many memories altogether…
