because tomorrow is not guaranteed

Exactly the only thing that exists is NOW.

but she always managed to cook tasty recipes made of simple ingredients and still cooks some of those typical items whenever I go to my native.

Because she uses a secret ingredient called LOVE & AFFECTION, even a simple dish becomes special.

But cooking the flower is no easy stuff and very time-consuming and needs some special skill - that's almost on the verge of extinct.

I was about to say that, it's the most difficult recipe, very few in Odisha might have that skill, even though banana ant you could in every Odia household.

So my job was to cut those flowers and bring it to her, but the amount of effort and precision she put after that amazed me, especially at this age.

I am happy to see ପନିକି in your kitchen
ମା ର ପଣତ କାନି ଆଉ ରୋଷେଇ ଘରେ ପନିକି ଆଉ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ମିଳୁନି

She follows a simple philosophy of life - if you have a roof to take shelter, food to eat and clothes to wear then thank God and be dutiful, dedicating your effort with honesty.

When the "state of being" and "state of doing" coincides, you become the happiest person in this world.

Thank you

Jai Jagannath
