As I stood by my cluttered room, a sense of isolation weighed heavily on my shoulders. The disarray around me mirrored the chaos within – the couch hidden beneath heaps of unwashed clothes, the scattered glasses and forgotten tea cups, and even a half-eaten slice of bread left untouched for days. My laziness was to blame for this domestic mess, a manifestation of my detachment from the world outside.
Feeling the need to break free from the solitude that engulfed me, I decided to head out. My initial purpose was to buy some sugar for the evening tea I had made. However, as I wandered the aisles of the market, my shopping spree took an unexpected turn. I found myself impulsively grabbing items that I rarely, if ever, used in my daily life – cheese, garlic paste, soya oil, mustard seeds, and more.
