My post lockdown bucket list

So the lockdown is on and I see the hidden Nigella in everyone coming out in full bloom. All of us are forced to cook at home, hence we spent most of our free time on Pinterest searching for interesting recipes. 
As for me, I am a big foodie and I spent most of my waking hours talking and thinking about food. Its been 14 days, since I had restaurant food and I think this is the longest I have gone without eating outside food. My taste buds are craving road side pani-poori, chaat and Odia style Dahi bara. Wish I could take the next flight to Bhubaneswar and hog on the delicacies like Dahi bara with Alu Dum. I often find myself making a mental bucket list on the things I will do, post lockdown. 

1. Go to the tiny hole-in-the-wall Odia restaurant near Jagannath temple in HSR. Its named Chhapan bhog. And eat bara-ghoogni and chaat till I am ready to explode.

2. Go on a long drive to Murugan Idli in Krishnagiri (Tamil Nadu) and hog on Podi Idlis.

3. Take the next flight to the foodie's paradise, Kolkata. And have the double egg chicken roll there. Also how can I forget the Chelo Kebabs at Peter Cat. Will also squeeze in some road-side Luchi with Chanar Dal. I will also go to Haldirams there and have a fill of the gudh ka sandesh.

The top 3 in my bucket list is all about food only. That goes on to prove how much of a foodie I am! 

4. Meet all my friends in BLR and ensure I continue to meet them once every month. (Non-Infy ones)
Infy ones anyways, I will get to meet in office everyday

Sigh...Hoping and praying for quicker lockdown end. May we get rid of the Covid virus soon. Amen.
