42. FOOD AND ITS UNBELIEVABLE POWER .

 

It made a person irrefutably realize his / her true stature on this earth – which was

nothing infront of the Almighty Lord – as morsels were gobbled with raw  humanitarian fervor and then even the most mature of body exultated

in child-like delight,

 

It made people forget deplorably miserly discrepancies of caste; creed; color and religion over its tantalizingly sumptuous aroma,

 

It naturally impregnated a wretchedly war-infested environment – with the charm of  an existence replete with symbiotic health and prosperity,

 

It gathered hordes of hungry stomachs and palettes into uninhibited camaraderie – as

they sat in compassionate unity to devour its quintessential morsels for survival,

 

It melted even the most indiscriminately traumatic persona which lambasted the

innocent – with its succulently impeccable taste which was a harbinger of bountiful

humanity,

 

It fascinated the young and the old with its astounding freshness and vitality – which

very soon blended with the fabric of existence after the gratifying bite,

 

It put all hostility and that desire to ruthlessly conquer to blissful sleep – as it made its

way most naturally and ravishingly into the extraordinarily emaciated intestine,

 

It proved the most stupendously inadvertent excuse to meet up at just about any time  of the day – and that too triggering that smile of satisfaction upon the lips relishing it,

 

It reinvigorated fading muscle and bone with indispensable boost to lead life Kingsize – bond and embrace the most alien of neighbor with the power of fortuitous love,

 

It metamorphosed pulverized failures into the champions of a fresh optimistic dawn – rendering in them the unabashed fortitude to stand up for the cause of unparalleled

righteousness,

 

It rekindled the rays of desire in pathetically shriveled bloodstreams – as the living kind made merry; whispered; chatted and blended into the river of love with a new found hope to procreate,

 

It worked as a balm of compassionate friendship upon those haplessly aggrieved and

lamenting the loss of their near and dear – as the chapter of death inevitably occurred

when destined,

 

It was something that rendered all spurious demonstrations of power and wealth on

earth utterly useless – as even the richest of all humans melanged with those begging

on the roadside - to consume it ; as disasters like the earthquake struck,

 

It not only helped people earn livelihood as they cooked; garnished; packed and 

transported it – but added an indomitable aura of satisfaction to their lives as they

served it to all those in dire need of it,

 

It miraculously helped in mollifying the most hoarsely wailing children – nourishing them with the gift of harmony - to evolve into the philanthropically noble citizens of tomorrow,

 

It prompted dialogues of peace and benevolent betterment even before armies could

cross sides – as they preferred to arrive to a harmonious consensus of love and togetherness – after eating to their unbridled content,

 

It was a universal need that naturally arose at some time or the other in everyone

irrespective of any religion or tribe; impregnably indicating that we’re all created by the same God and infront of him ; nothing ,

 

It cultivated this most wonderfully altruistic habit of eating in the same plate ; as its

irresistibly appetizing grandeur instilled the basic tenets of selflessness and

humanitarian care ,

 

Such was food and its unbelievable power.
