Heaven in the plate

-
Humans are privileged to grow, cook and give flavour to their food.With abundance of food provided by mother earth, we, the privileged species have a cascade of choices for settling our hunger. Over centuries, with the development of civilisations, a rainbow of flavours have evolved.
Today, a cafeteria of spices and a cocktail of herbs jingle with a variety of cereals, fruits and vegetables.A trail of flavours along with a spectrum of colours make up for a very satisfying meal. We can toast, steam, grill, fry, bake, boil and roast to the best of our satisfaction.The stuff that lands up in our platter has been worked up as a result of many experiments, permutations and combinations of the flavours, fragrances, textures and colours of what mother nature provides.Humans have mastered the art to create a heaven in the plate.
The paradise of taste has been constantly growing. Mouth watering recipes satisfy us.The additional garnishing is a extra treat.Sugars add to the bliss that comes in the form of sweets, cakes, puddings, candies and drinks.
We are gifted with the magical treat of food, served in a plate.

    Food is really important.Our culture saysअन्नं वै‌ ब्रह्मwhich means food is Brahma or the god.we must respect food.Should not waste and earn it by fair means.There is also another proverb which says जैसा खाओगे अन्य वैसा होगा मन।

A TRIBUTE TO A SMART GRANNY

-
You raised a whole generation with love, care and compassion. The gestures, thoughts and traits you showered are manifested in our being. We cherish the moments spent together. Unforgettable are those playful teasings, cooking, eating and laughter together. Still trying to gather the will power you managed. Pain or sickness, you took it all in a power-packed stride. My buddies and me often recall your spicy yet sweet meals. Those were the special tiny bytes engraved in the wires of my complex mind. Like no other granny, you were the bold and the beautiful, that made us all proud. Penning down my utter rememberance for you granny, my Bari Mummy.

FAMILY

  Facebook - Instagram वाली family हो या mummy papa, चाचा चाची, भाई बहन वाली, Connected रहना जरूरी है। दूर हो या पास, कोई फर्क़ नहीं,  बस दिल तक का रास्ता मिलना जरूरी है। जब दिल में घर करना हो तो कुछ  लमहा साथ बिताना भी जरूरी है। रिश्तों की बुनियाद जब password से बन जाए, फिर कभी Forgot password की तलवार ही ना लटक जाए। हम कभी मिले  नहीं,  but we are friends, वो मुझे  जानते नहीं,  but I follow him. Facebook का Add Friend और Insta का follow बटन ,जोड़ देता वो तार , जहां ना मिला  दिल, ना बीता लमहा, एक list बड़ती रही, बड़ती रही। मम्मी पापा,  दीदी  भैया की प्यार- मोहब्बत और अपनेपन की गर्माहट, सेक लेती है नए पुराने रिश्ते सभी, Facebook -Instagram कैसे  कर पाएगा इस गरमाहट की भरपाई ? अब तो सब हैं, All cool and chill भाई।

शब्द बेमिसाल

-
  शब्द हैं बेमिसाल। बिगड़ी को बनाना और बनती को बिगाड़ना , कोई इनसे सीखे । फ़ितरत है,  बहते रहने की, पर बांध बनाना भी कोई इनसे सीखे । शब्द हैं बेमिसाल। प्यार का इजहार हो या नफरत का बम- गोले , कितना मीठा,  कितना कड़वा, चख- चख कर, हमने बोलना सीखा। दिल-दिमाग का तालमेल हो, जब मुँह से निकले शब्द, संतुलन के बोझ तले, दबी हुई कोई नब्ज । सोच कर भी दिन - रात, ना मिले  सही शब्द, चुप्पी का घोल बनाकर पी जाना ही बेहतर। मिजाज का आदान-प्रदान करते हैं शब्द, बोलिये सम्भालकर, न जाने कब,कौन जाए  बिगड़। शब्दों की भीड़ में ढूंढ लीजिए एहसास, कलम से सजी हो कहानी या उपन्यास।
