need and greed two opposite terms ...But if you look closely and remove "N" with "G" it changes the meaning and purpose ..I usually see the greed thing when its free of cost and how people behave as if there is no end... it doesn't matter whether its rich or poor but you can actually see the greed inside that want to acquire more and more...
Parties , religious functions or weddings ,,, the way people eat ..as if there is no end..
health hazard it can be but who cares?
Every sunday I go to Gurudwara (sikh temple) for prayers and help in the kitchen if wanted by anyone from the community...the Gurudwara people offer breakfast buffet in the morning with wide variety of food made fresh in the kitchen with the help of people...
I am surprised to see the amount of food big pile of plate carried by people...(the food is almost ready to fall from plate)as breakfast in the morning ,,,,
An Aunty ahead of me carried a big plate loaded with jalebis only ..I thought maybe five people will share and took one plate .... but as I came to sit there she happened to be sitting next to me ...I saw her eating jalebis (sweets) seriously loaded with sugar one by one ..and then all gone ,,,she was so slim no fat ..I thought "hmmm jalebi raaz hai inki acchi sehat ka"
nyways jokes apart ..another uncle came plate loaded with paranthas and pakora (fritters)... wide variety of chutneys and bowl of yogurt ...he looked at me and blessed me ..said"betaji not eating anything ?"I said "I have it in my plate" he laughed ..."eat something this a joke!"looking at my plate he said...
and I am surprised uncle ate everything and ..enjoying masala tea later. :))
The break fast starts at nine and continues till 11pm ...after that lunch is served at 12:30 pm and continues till 2:30 ..I am surprised to see the crowd which attends prayers for jus an hour but main attraction is food and wide variety of drinks, juices and milk.
There is no end to greed ..it can be seen there in langar hall( dining area)total madness ,no end to refills.. people goin crazy .... kids goin mad for juice n coke..
Indian food always tastes good no doubt ..but keeping your health in mind and also if its free doesn't mean today is the last day of your life ...people its your own stomach and every sunday this food is here...jus go slow ...it part of sikh religion a ritual carried to provide food for free in Gurudwara so that no body sleeps hungry...
But this looks like luxury..as people enjoy all meals and ready for dinner too..
there are other Gurudwaras where all three meals are served to people for free ...but its our responsibility to behave like adults and not kids...
Parties ,weddings or anywhere else where food is free......try to keep your greed in control..I would say freedom from greed ..and help others in making that food in kitchen where very few people are there and rest outside enjoying jalebelis and laddoo's ..
:))
have a good weekend!
