a passing thought

i was thinking about the kids who dont have anything to eat for days together..... nature's fury or man's blunder which lead them into a situation where they have to fight for their survival in all respects; be it fighting for food or saving your head from rain. coming to the origin of this international thought in a subaverage intelligent mind was also a survival tactic. coming to it, yesterday was yet another of those days where you lose track of everything one do. there was a confusion about he morning class(i am refering to a particular somebody). so had to rush through to the class without breakfast.then there was this day stretched in front of you where you dont see an end to your work. finally you think you have reached the end of the day some more work is piled up on you, which on the contrary you accept with grace. then by the evening the realisation dawns that only thing which your stomach got to digest today was a couple of biscuits and some black tea. there is no stopping your hunger cues.looking at the time one have in hand to complete the work indulging in food didnt seem to be the best option. so the one should learn to be satisfied with whatever is available. the most solid food which is easily accessible was samosas. the need for more solid food was substituted by samosa and some cake. back to work. in the nigth around 9 you are not feeling hungry. the nitritional needs are met(anyway my bmi will look into other matters)but what about the cognitive needs. i wanted to have a huge plate of rice with a lot of side dishes.....then the thought came to my mind-what about those kids who dont have food to eat to sustain their life. you are worried about cognitively satisfying yourself. i didnt feel ashamed rather a resolution was taken. not to ever crib about food. i could have taken another resolution of trying and helping out the hunger stricken population out there. but maybe i am not meant for it. i will do it when the time comes. now i will do what i can....

Just a lil story from my life..u know this job tht i have, for 9 months i worked in a wonderful team..one of the best when it came to a team which actlly had team spirits..and was high on cohesion. We used to have parties quite often..a big team so atleast one birthday party per month..the parties involved having mazza and samosas as tht is what was available readily and fit everyone's budget. Everyone loved the parties since it brought the team closer and added some cheer to a hectic working day, yet everyone was bored of samosas..and one and all complained of the monotonous nature of having the same snack at every party. The team split up as the process changed..and till date..all of us who complained abt those samosas miss them a lot.
