The Kerala Pazham Pori and the Secret to Happiness

Happiness is a finicky thing.

The one who is happy, is just happy.

He doesn’t try to be happy - he just is.

The things we think will make us happy often don’t.

And most of the time, it’s the little things that truly make us happy.

For me, today it’s 'Pazham Pori' - a banana fritter made out of the unique hashtag#kerala bananas called 'ethakkaya.'. Living in hashtag#hyderabad, I miss them a lot. But now, here I am in Kerala, after six months, finally enjoying one.

It may seem small, but this moment of enjoying a simple banana fry taught me something:

When you let go of what you love, you appreciate it even more when it comes back.

So, go, find your little joy.

Be grateful for it.
