I'd say a home- cooked meal falls into this category. If you are far away from home, or if your house is in a state that your kitchen isn't functional- like mine is damn it- well, that's when you miss a warm home cooked meal- whichever part of the world you belong to. And if you are far away, the first week or two there's a thrill of eating new cuisine and experiencing new bars and restaurants.
But any longer and people start crying out for Ghar ka khana- whether your ghar is in Delhi or Dallas.
I guess confirmed bachelors and hostelites don't really experience it for long parts of their lives, but most of us do.
Very strange, but this joy is ephemeral, because all of us take the home cooked meal for granted when put in front of our faces every single day. I'm the guiltiest party when it comes to criticizing things around- or consider home food blah.
Till I don't get it on my plate, that is.
