Curd Rice the yardstick of Love!!

Well this is not really about making Curd Rice. Pay closer attention

Scene 1:1999
Mother to Son: Dei Rahul.....Take lunch for school da..

Rahul: Maaa...I will eat our with friends. I cannot eat that silly curd rice every day.

MOM: Dei..........good for health da...Don't eat our parata and waste your health

Sister:
Amma, give that lunch for me maaa...I like to eat that (Thinking paaavam amma, before going to office she makes so much and anna denies to take to school)

Scene 2:2003
 
Sister In Law: Rahul Anna, I made biryani Paneer butter Masala and XYZ. please taste anna...
 
Rahul: Wow Amazing Sister...You have learnt a lot and cooking better than amma...Very tasty.
 
 

Scene 3:2004

Wife: I am late for office, packed your bag. Packed cud rice and sabji. Please don't forget to eat amidst meeting

2005: curd rice
2007: curd rice
2009: curd rice

Scene 4: 2010:
Sister In Law To Mother In law: Listen, last 8 years poor brother gets nothing but curd rice....We have to tell your Daughter In Law to prepare something tasty for him. My poor anna earns so much and all he gets is curd rice for lunch

Mother In Law and Sister In Law to Rahul:

Dei, how do you eat that curd rice every day. Why cant you ask your wife to make something tasty and different.

Rahul: Amma and akka, she gives me curd rice because I Like it, not because She cant cook something else.

If you have time you make something for her differently one day maaa...she likes to have diff stuff to eat.


WELL! Over years the curd rice has remained the same except how it has been perceived by many different people....What touched me in the whole incident it Rahul's response to the whole drama,

None of the actors are at mistake, a curd rice averting young Rahul OR his affectionate sister OR the loving mother. Neither the wife who can only accommodate that in the daily busy routine.

What makes Rahul our Hero is his acceptance and appreciation to what has been given to him or Rab Ne bana di for him...

CURD RICE....could be the answer to "pursuit of happiness" if eaten (err: Taken) in the way it should be !!!

Our past generation leaves behind a heroic trait of acceptance and adoration that is diminishing in this generation genes....Time to activate it and adore what we have all been blessed with...Remember Curd Rice can still be eaten with a silver spoon a Golden Brown Pizza that cant be!

Spice up the Curd Rice with your special garnishing and flavor of life!

Curd rice = Life/Job/Car/spouse/figure/self/beauty and anything that fits in your frame of reference!
