The Story Of Fried Bhindi....

Bhindi the vegetable is a common source of some quick green nutrition in almost every household....The name "lady's finger" makes it all the more seductvie and probably is the only vegetable to have a name from woman's anatomy, but I sometime wonder how this simple seductive (name wise) vegetable can ever become the only food item in someones lunch box...I taxed my brain to the best of its abilities to come to a desirable conclusion but never came accross a convincing answer....Many would wonder what makes me think this way..but the simple fact remains that I could never digest it that just some bhindi fry and two chappatis can be a wholesome lunch or dinner for someone...

I frankly can never have such simplicity in my food habbits and I aplogise whole heartedly to all my fried bhindi eating friends and their family members for this remark..I could never understand this phenomenon where people work 8 hours a day, travel almost 4 hours to and fro from office to earn handsomely and live a life of content and luxury...Then a simple question why the compromise on food?? Dont we all earn for the very basics of food shelter and clothes??Then why a compromise on this?? I am sure many would have their points to argue that they have substantial amount of fruits and milk so a lunch like this is immeterial but I somehow cant buy this point...Others would say that "thats what we like to have" but if they ask themselves deeply then the answer would be very simple...We all love to eat well, relish good things but are so busy with life that we try to just some how fill our stomach rather than have a contentfull platter of food...Yes thats the truth...may be a slightly bitter one..

I have no issues with what others have or like to have but it pains me to unimaginable extent when I see these people indulging in other luxuries but become restricted on what they eat and how they eat...I have no personal enimity with Bhindis but at the same time only a bhindi dish can never ever satisfy my develish taste buds and I never restrict myself to appease them for I know at the end of the day I slog for 12 hours only to earn a decent living.....

To all my friends who still make Bhindi fry the staple diet, a humble request- look beyond the "ladys finger" after all its not where you want to slip in a ring and try some other delecacies when you all can afford it...Tease your taste buds and not just your other desires for material possesion as at the end of the day it all comes down to having two fully satisfied square meal a day...Then why just the BHINDI???????
