The breakfast of an Officer Kid…

Whatever you have become today, a bureaucrat, a scientist, a doctor or an engineer, you cannot forget what you were in your childhood. Childhood memories are like a silent fragrance of an old rose between your book. It never goes and it never leaves you. You just need a click in your life, to recollect all those lovely childhood memories. The memories which always leaves a beautiful smile denying the burden and heaviness of your grown up mind.

I am an OK. Does it sound grammatically wrong with your ears ?? Yes, I am an OK … an Officer Kid. My dad serves in the Royal Indian Army. Army life has left its charm in each and every aspect of my life. Whether, it is the way I walk or the way I talk. I cannot just change what ever army life has given to me.

It includes the very good start of my daily routine. No, its not brushing or the morning workout, I am talking about my breakfast. I hardly remember any day when I have skipped my breakfast. I still remember, my dad used to get ration (its not the ration which you get in local ration shops), army standards are way ahead. The army provides you the best of this world. If I talk about the breakfast stuff, it included bread, butter, jam, cheeeese, milk, daliya, eggs, fruits and corn flakes, the Kellog's one. Even I don’t know how many different prints of the Kellogs boxes I have seen till now. But, the taste and the goodness are still the same. Whenever, I was getting late for my school, the only option left was to have kellogs with warm milk. It just reduces the stress of morning cooking of all the mummies.

My mother is very creative when she cooks. It seems to me that she has put all of her creativity either in her cooking or in me and my brother. I mean she has a number of tasty options for our breakfast. Americans cannot even think of that the corn flakes can be roasted and mixed with peanuts, salted moong dal, curry leaves and all the crunchy stuffs to be turned out as a wonderful snack option, which is healthy too. My mother used to prepare it in a huge amount, because in a family where everybody works out a lot, your tummy keeps on growling between the meals. As with time people improve their skills, so did my mom. Her latest version of roasted kellog's tastes better than any snack in the market. I really don’t know what all herbs she adds to it, but when I start munching on them, my mother has to take back the bowl from my hands. :p Even now, after five years of leaving my home for higher studies, whenever I go back to my home, my mother keeps a box full of roasted corn flakes for my hostel friends.

For me it is the taste of my childhood…Thank you Mummy... Thank You kellogs
