Doctor’s post about friend’s mother sending home-cooked meals with notes makes all emotional

Twitter user Shruberry (@psychedamygdala), who is a young doctor, recently described how her friend's mother ensured she never missed out on good food.

While ghar ka khaana may not be quite appealing when you are living at home, its importance surely grows when you are away. When a woman recently lamented about missing it, her friend’s mother stepped in, sending her tiffin boxes filled with home-cooked meals and love. Her sweet post is now warming hearts online.

Twitter user Shruberry (@psychedamygdala), who is a young doctor, recently described how her friend’s mother ensured she never missed out on good food. But what really made it extra special is that the packed lunches came with handwritten notes.

“Been complaining about mess food to friend and he told his mom, so his mom’s been sending me food almost everyday,” the young doctor wrote, sharing two photos. The doctor also explained that at one point she felt awkward about the generosity of the friend’s mother, writing that she “couldn’t accept it anymore” because she did not have time to make something to be sent along with the tiffin boxes. However, arguing that mothers are mothers and that children should not worry about returning empty tiffin boxes, the woman started to send “little notes” with meals.

“Children should not bother about sending empty tiffins to mothers. You can send your love and affection with the tiffin that is more than enough,” read one of the notes that asked her to simply enjoy the food.

Been complaining about mess food to friend and he told his mom, so his mom’s been sending me food almost everyday. I said I couldn’t accept it anymore because I don’t have time to make anything and return the tiffins and now she sends these little notes. Humans are top tier >> pic.twitter.com/qBcM8EfmQi

My colleague from another city gets her cook to cook lunch for me whenever I visit that office. I initially refused but soon relented to indulge in this act of kindness.
Heart is filled with gratitude. I must have done something right sometime! https://t.co/BAgtrxXddk

Moms are the best. Back in December, I was so homesick, so anxious & feeling all lost in the new city that I broke down & cried to a friend over phone. She had told it to her mom, and her amma got my number, spoke to me for an hour & still sends me warm messages. Moms😭❤️ https://t.co/vQEmPyDPgl

In December 2024, a woman was found dead in a sugarcane field in Maharashtra, sparking public outrage over the human-wildlife conflict. The initial statement of a leopard attack was later revealed to be a planned murder by the victim's husband's nephew and a laborer. They were arrested and a charge sheet was filed against them.
