Stop, think and act - Cook healthy, eat healthy!

I have been practicing Intermittent Fasting since July 2016, and it has given me tremendous benefits. I no longer crave food throughout the day, and I am very conscious about what I put in my mouth. I don't buy fruit juices or packaged items loaded with sugar from the supermarket. I see to it that I cook every day at home with whatever resources are available to me in Germany. I am a vegetarian, and whenever I go out traveling within Europe, the options available are cheese, vegetables, and salads. I enjoy them now as under no circumstances would I ever eat the meat that is abundantly available here without any problems. It's easy to pick up unhealthy and packaged meals from the supermarket. It saves time and energy. But what about the quality of the food that you are eating?

It creates an imbalance in nature, in people's health too! And this is often the season where most of the people fall sick. T was no exception as well. His friend had come for a stayover, on the weekend and he had a cold. Before that friend left and we knew it, T had it too!

The predicament

We were members of an informal WhatsApp group of Indian women in Karlsruhe, but we never had the opportunity to meet each other before. S seemed a quiet girl in the beginning, but later after spending time with each other, we became good friends.

The divine intervention
