The Best Cook

The Best Cook

P K Routray

To man, for the wholesome nourishment

minerals, vitamins and such other constituents

are alone not enough to meet the necessities

to develop man’s physical and mental faculties.

The love, care and other emotional expressions

poured on the food during the process of its preparation

goes a long way in contributing to man’s all-round growth

to make the man strong, healthy physically and mentally both.

Hence the food prepared  and served by the mother with love and care

kept her off-springs healthy and wise in earlier days, now they are rare.

In lighter vein it is worth citing to share an observation

as we take food in hotels, the commercial organization

we often think, talk and worry about dollar and wealth

but fail we to acquire calm composure and good health.
