Some mornings in hostel life don't need anything fancy — just tea, paratha, and a plate of warm suji halwa. That's exactly what today's breakfast looked like on my table, spread out on an old flowery tablecloth that's seen a hundred breakfasts before this one.
The paratha was plain, crispy at the edges, made without any extra filling — just the kind of "rokha rokha" bread that fills you up without any fuss. Next to it, a small bowl of golden suji halwa, soft and slightly grainy, sweet enough to balance out the simplicity of the bread. And of course, a steaming cup of doodh patti chai in a small floral mug, the kind every hostel room has at least one of.
Hostel life teaches you to find comfort in small things. There's no elaborate spread, no restaurant-style presentation — just a red plastic tray, a chipped mug, and food made with whatever's available. But somehow, this basic combination of tea, parat
ha, and halwa tastes better than most fancy breakfasts, maybe because it comes with routine, familiarity, and a bit of home away from home.
Sometimes the simplest meals carry the most comfort.
