"Zindagi hai Mausam ke tarah badalti rahti hai.."
This is the candid and original dialouge delivered by me on a phone talk with Abhishek Shukla long ago. Today, I am publishing it also. I have again changed my cuisine habits & started taking taste of non veg and beer. Wine will be in menu but preserved for emotional traumatic times. Liquor helps in relieving from frustration inside and a sudden burst take all the suppressed feelings flushed away.
For a note, Hyderabadi Biryani of famous 'Hotel Paradise' is just fine.
Why this change ? The urge to eat grass and water only is no more.The logic and reason were always in the world for taking sides but the faith decides the last call. When the instinct for an ideology is missing from the heart, I shed the dead ideology and move forward in the life.
I read a good point about our "esteemed" orthodox tradition...
"Man is formed of the four elements. When he dies, earth returns to the aggregate of earth, water to water, fire to fire, and air to air, while his senses vanish into space. Four men with the bier take up the corpse: they gossip as far as the burning-ground, where his bones turn the color of a dove's wing and his sacrifices end in ashes. They are fools who preach almsgiving, and those who maintain the existence [of immaterial categories] speak vain and lying nonsense. When the body dies both fool and wise alike are cut off and perish. They do not survive after death."[1]
Also an account about Indians from the journal of a traveller is interesting to read.
Quote for the lifetime : “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it”-Upton Sinclaire.
