Mood swings are rapid
changes in the mood. They are unpredictable and can be triggered by many
factors such as bad food in the cafeteria, extra work allotted on a Thursday
and to be submitted on a Friday, waiting for more than 20 mins and not one bus
that goes to my place comes or listen to constant yapping on the same old
things again and again. Well, I mentioned only the few that make my mood go mad
and take time to be normal. However, the one reason that has been dampening my
spirit and making my swing high and low all the time lately is the summer in
Bangalore.
Bangalore is known to
have a cool and pleasant weather throughout the year and people do get jealous
when I say, it’s pleasant here today. But not anymore! The mornings are hot and
travelling in a bus to reach workplace sounds like the worst task ever. And the
brunt of my mood swings are faced by my mom when she calls me in the morning or
others who call to check on the works, etc. I mean, it’s simply impossible for
me to control this particular mood swing thing every day. And to deal with it, I
had to find out a solution and realised that only one thing can keep me calm
and get back to normalcy. Its ice creams.
No matter what
happens, ice creams have always been that comfort food that melts my soul,
cools me down and gives me a fresh lease of life the very second I start having
it. Be it a cup, a cone, a double scoop bowl or simply tasting before choosing
the flavour, I am ever ready in this case. The Sundaes, the Hot Chocolate
Fudge, the fruit and jelly mix in ice creams or the chocolate chip loaded
vanilla ice cream, all are all time favourites and I keep juggling between
them. I also like the natural fruit flavoured ice creams occasionally like the
Mango and the anjeer and the apple flavors.

My regular stops for
having mouth-watering delicious ice creams in Bangalore include Corner House,
Baskin Robbins and Naturals. I also like Beery’d Alive for their presentation
skills. And on the normal days when I just need to pick up a cone and a scoop
to calm down myself, McDonalds and Cornetto cones from Kwality Walls are my
stopover places.
All of us have some or
the other comfort foods that we can’t do without. Although you may be thinking
that I survive on ice creams and they are my medicines to calm me down, it’s
not the case. Ice creams are like saviours who knows how to calm my soul and
give me a moment of peace. I do keep a check on my mood swings and look for
options that can calm me down but unfortunately, nothing works as good as ice
creams.
So, that’s me and my
relationship with ice creams.

Ice cream is the ultimate comfort food for millions, maybe billions of people so you are not alone. I prefer chocolate but I like ice cream too, and the ones in your pictures look wonderful
ReplyDeleteInteresting ice-creams and photos!
ReplyDeleteI visit Bangalore occasionally, and I agree that, over the years, the city has become much warmer.
