Growing up, we all get attached to a lot of things that remind us of our home. From the aroma of the homely khichdi to the comforting chicken curry, these foods are infused with the right amounts of flavour and love that we often long for. No matter how much junk food we indulge in, there is something special about home-cooked food. Sometimes, it is not just the food but also the cutlery that get associated with someone and evoke nostalgia whenever we look at them.
A Twitter user has shared a photo of a plate, which may look ordinary but has a heartwarming story behind it. Posting the picture of the steel plate he wrote, “This is Amma's plate.. she used to eat in this for the past 2 decades. it's a small plate.. she allowed me and chulbuli (Sruthi, my niece) to eat in this other than her.”
He added that it was only after her mother's demise that he learned from his sister that the plate was a prize he won in 7th standard in 1999.
