The Honey Cake

Bangalore’s Iyengar bakeries have the best honey cakes in the world. Yes, this is not an exaggeration. If you have doubts, please try one, I guarantee that you will be hooked for life!

This post is about that honey cake and also about the people in your life who get a honey cake for you.

I was having a bad day for many reasons. Experts say that when you are too happy or too sad or too confused (etc.) you feel like gorging on junk. I agree and felt the same. The honey cake started playing mind games with me. Now, I had to have it, no escape from that one! I could have walked down the road and got one for myself. Yes, sure. But a slight problem, I didn’t feel like getting up from where I was. So I had to rely on other people to get one for me.

There are two types of people in your life – one sort who would bring this cake for you without blinking and the other sort who would go all logical on you.

“It is not good for you”, “Do you know the calories and carbs and sugar in one cake?” I agree these are perfectly logical thoughts with my best interest in mind. No offense to these people in my life at all. They play an important role in making me see reality when required (...okay, when I want to). But there are certain times when you need the first sort of people – those who would just accept the way you are and know when sermons ought to be given and when not! Those with whom you don’t feel doubtful to share your cravings and needs.

Of course, my parents fall in that category! My dad came to my rescue this time (like several other times). Oh, and also, he bought two cakes because he thought one was too small! So, two honey cakes changed my mood, probably also added a few grams/kilos, but I was more amiable after the cakes, and yes, that counts too! Totally illogical and not correct? Please read my post on Love to get into a debate with yourself on what is right and what is wrong ;-).

Anyway, the point here is, don’t let such people go! Wrap them in silk and keep them close to you! They are few of the most precious souls around!
