She is, in a sense, a Santa for adults. You will always find some snacks to munch on in the Pandora's Box she possesses – like the goodies tucked inside Santa's magical coat

Kanta's life does not always revolve around negative people or vibes, individuals like "Food Lady" are a source of life force for Kanta's bewildered soul. 

Did you come across any Food Lady lately?

In the middle of the day the Food Lady shows up with a couple of Pandora's boxes full of delicious munchies and there is always a new treat sitting tight in the boxes to surprise Kanta every day. 

Feeling low? She is there for you with a bar of chocolate. If there is no chocolate, you might be enjoying a piece of Shumi's Chocolate Delight. The Food Lady upholds her title by ordering food online for herself and others as well.

If you offer her food, she is never going to say "No" even if she just had lunch. She will rather tag along from a cup of coffee and a sandwich.

Whenever Kanta hears the word "Food", she reminisces the Food Lady. This fairy godmother and her mouth-watering treats are the reasons that lure in Kanta to the office every day. 

The mysterious bentos keep inspiring Kanta way more than her salary does. Though the money keeps fueling her desires throughout the month, the food she gets from the Food Lady fuels her body and soul making it more important than payrolls. 

The Food Lady sprinkles joy on everyone's face as she enters the office premises. Thriving hearts and curious eyes keep waiting for those little Pandora's boxes to come out of her bag; they do utter a single word and pretend as if they do not exist there. 

If she forgets to bring out the boxes from her bag or pretends to do so, someone is definitely going to ask, "Well, what have you brought for us today?" Following this question, the group of eager colleagues end up encircling the Food Lady waiting for the day's fuel.  

You might wonder - does not she get irritated by this? No! With a face full of joy and love, she brings out her bentos with pride. There are, at times, specific boxes for specific people; she knows who loves what. 

She is, in a sense, a Santa for adults. You will always find some snacks to munch on in the Pandora's Box she possesses – like the goodies tucked inside Santa's magical coat. 

If you ever meet her, you will surely know that she is Kanta's Food Lady. If you are thinking how this came about? Truth be told, Pandora's Box is her signature dabba. You might get to taste her delicacies if you are lucky enough. 

I hope you get lucky!
