Eating with hands ... any difference?

Well, I’ve given this topic some thought only after last week when Chintoo and I went to Sindoora (a restaurant near Ballal circle) for the umpteenth time this semester. Without having to do any calculations or thinking, it is obvious that among all the places we usually eat, this is the most expensive. But not going there day after day and studying in NIE … that’s impossible. And everyday it’s the same order from our sides – 2 mini-meals. And Chintoo of course is never satisfied with any one thing so he always takes a soft drink or something along with it. But I still remember the first couple of times I went there. I was never really disappointed but also I was never really in love with it either. Which got me into thinking – what was different about that place back then? The answer is nothing. The menu was always the same and so was the taste. But something felt different this semester. And then it struck me. There was one thing different, not from the hotel’s side, but from mine. I was eating the rice provided in the meals by hand whereas earlier it was with a spoon. Nothing really brought about a change in me; it’s just that this semester I’ve become really lazy; in fact too lazy to even ask the waiter over there to get a spoon. I’m thankful for that. There is a different magic I’m experiencing there. The dal and chaawal there … smack! I could go on eating that whole day.
But seriously speaking now, there shouldn’t actually be any difference in the taste whether we’re eating by hand or by spoon, no? Then why this difference in the essence? I’ve noticed it when I’m having some gravy for dinner as well. When I’m eating with a roti or a paratha, it does taste good, but once dinner is over and I lick the gravy off my fingers, the feeling is again magical. So what is it? Is it that my fingers taste good or is it something else?
I request all the readers to pass an opinion on this as I’m really baffled by this phenomenon.

Just a 2 minute break for the people who have beared with my long posts

I am coming here after exactly 20 days. Well, I do have various topics in my head I would like to discuss, but the moment I checked out my blog, I knew those topics would have to wait.
I guess I had forgotten how my blog's background looks like as I expected it to be white as paper when I logged in, but instead came to know it's creamish or slightly brownish. Just the colour the pages of an unopened book turn in to. Now, this may be a case of some negligence shown on my part ( I will never say poor memory) as I never ever paid attention to the background. But the first time I actually showed any interest, it revealed a secret truth.
All I can say is I commited a mistake (ummm ... yeah, it's the right word) and I've learnt my lesson now.
