Food For Thought

This blog is dedicated to all you people who have some sort of emotional relationship with the only constant in life : FOOD

People come and go, work comes and goes, life changes takes turns. We go through crests and troughs. We go through mood cycles. We go through life cycles. But one thing that stays constant in our otherwise so very cyclical / seasonal life is our interaction with food.

Yes Food for me is a magnanimous man. A He, Middle Aged. He is a Samaritan with goodness of Santa Claus and energy of Superman.

My Feelings for Food referred as YOU are :

I can depend on you, I can use your shoulder to cry on ; I can relish your company. I can savour your fragrance. I can experience you at all points of time. I get the right kind of energy and inspiration from you. And above all you really elevate my mood if I spice you up.

Sadly though, you play havoc with me when I play around with you. You could spoil me if I don't respect you. You could kill me if I abuse you. You are a friend in need but I have to use you in moderation. You have a charachter that changes and I need to choose the right charachter for me. You follow the geography and change form from one country to the other. You become fashionable, designer, healthy or too very slimy , oily or tasteless. You are everything to everybody. I need to experience you in the right form. I spend so much money on you when I go out as you change your flavour when you are treated professionally. You make me feel good when I am with you at home but you taste exotic when I meet you at the restaurants.

I love you when you put the right fragrance. I like you when you are all dressed and garnished. Sometimes I like you for your taste and looks sometimes I like you for giving me energy and vitality to take on the world.I like you best when you are saucy and complex.

You are remembered when someone wants to go on a date. You are a reason for celebration. You have so many style statements and so many clothes that you wear. But you show your exotic exciting elements only at a price.

Isn't it sad that you are not present everywhere. You come with a price. You are a need for the poor but the indulgence for the rich.People in some corners of the world crave for you. They stay on long spell of hunger.World Health Organization, and other such bodies want to make you available for all.

Ironically In some countries you are cheesy enough to make people fat. One in every fifteen people in the cities are getting spoilt because you are getting faster. You see you are not liked when you are fast ,FOOD. You spoil people sometimes and they become Big and Fat.

But I must confess Life would be pretty tasteless without you.

I look forward to you when I am happy and have you by my side when I am sad. Keep giving me and all my loved ones your affection and company in the right fashion. Let me enjoy living because of you .I want to be with you at least three times a day everyday of my life.

Bon Appetit.
