Pregnancy is that special time when emotions run high— joy, anxiety, anticipation and intense cravings. For Somlata, living far away from her maternal home in Bangalore, those cravings weren’t just about satisfying her taste buds, they were more about reliving those personal memories. About feeling close to home,it's about comfort.
As her baby bump grew, so did her longing for the flavors she grew up with — the melt in the mouth Mishti Doi from that tiny shop near her childhood home in Kolkata, and the fiery, spicy Egg Chicken and Mutton Rolls,she would enjoy every other evening with friends. Bangalore has its own charm,yet,nothing came close to the taste of home.
She tried local versions, hoping to feel that familiar spark — but it wasn’t the same. Every bite left her a little bit more homesick.
Seeing her disappointment, her husband knew he had to do something. Not just to satiate her cravings, but to address the sadness in her heart. That’s when he discovered JustMyRoots,from his colleagues at the office.
He placed an order — the very Mishti Doi and Rolls from Kolkata she had been dreaming of. When the delivery arrived, Sulagna was stunned. As she opened the box and took her first bite, her eyes welled up. It wasn’t just food. It was home. It was love. It was comfort in the most beautiful form.
But the story didn’t end there.
Her mother, learning about her cravings and this beautiful surprise, wanted to be part of it too. Using JustMyRoots’ DFh (Direct From home ) service, she kept on sending deliveries filled with her favorite homemade delicacies — ones she had grown up eating.
The moment Somlata opened that package, it felt like her mother was right beside her, holding her, feeding her, and reminding her — “I’m always with you.”
At JustMyRoots, we believe food is more than just a meal. It’s a memory. It’s an emotion. It’s a connection.
We are honored to be a small part of Somlata's motherhood journey — bringing her the taste of home when she needed it the most, and helping her feel the love of family even from miles away.
Because sometimes, a bite from home is all it takes to feel whole again,direct Dil se Dil Tak!
