Gourmandism: Stomach or Garbage Bin?

Who doesn't love to have cold drink whilst having food especially when one is out for a treat at a roadside restaurant (Dhaba)? Well, it's most commonly swigged with relish to beat the heat now-a-days mainly to excite one's mouth, body, and mind, and to smooth a hot morsel for sensitizing its taste.

A lot of us are so much lost in gaining pleasure that we don't think of diving into the fact that by doing so we participate to be one of those who intentionally or unintentionally support this strange sign that denotes the nearing of judgement day. 

Yes, indeed! Drinking of Cold Water or Cold Drinks whilst having food is peculiar to one of the many strange signs of nearing of Judgement Day.


                                                                


It is reported to have been believed that Hazrat Ali (A.S.) said that people would happily serve poison to one another during the last phase of life, before Judgement Day (Qayamah). Although, the one who'd serve will know what is he serving and the one who'd drink will know what is he drinking, and this would be popularly served to show off as a great hospitality among the guests. And that poison is nothing but drinking of cold/chilled water or any other cold/chilled drinks, especially during the mealtime.

He continued, It weakens the stomach leading to gastric issue, bloating, stomach aches, digestive disorder etc. It may give taste to the tongue but not all healthy foods are tasty and not all tasty foods are healthy. It narrows the veins - gradually reduces the needed amount of gap between the veins that carries blood to the heart. It also thickens your mucus and fats. 

The people of this time would be smitten with sickness/diseases. The youth would too early become lazy, and old, and for them, going out for a walk would be as strenuous as doing a big hole in the wall. And unfortunately, the people of this time would store water in places that would invite health troubles, and therefore this would reduce their lives. The better thing would be to store water in a clay pot to get maximum amount of properties needed to maintain a healthy body.

Siddharth Shukla’s Last Words

  When we go through a struggling time where we had to stand or nevertheless fight for honesty and unity alone, that whole incident overpowers us to be like a skerry of wisdom and peace which is far from the hymns of the world but represents how hard we have worked to form a deeply rooted family with patience, honesty, and a lot of sufferings, days after days. It's natural to discern an encouraging point that accumulates shattered pieces of courage in a tendency to regain strength. And borrowing humanly from a rock like man Siddharth Shukla his strenght under the imaginative influence of his personality, style, attitude, and of the fact how fiery, strong and honest he was in his conduct and deliverance, cause honest people don't speak like goats, they speak like lion, and from his courage that can even go to an extent of questioning God, and in due course, I saw his last words blazing on the embers flying in the air in a close dark room:  (Request the readers...

The Guiding Tree

                                                     Alas! The more I grow, the far I go   Earth is my mother; my father is the Sun       Seasons are my friends who play, trouble and have fun    Dancing feet in the song of winds is yanked to go slow. Daddy sparkling lights; I feel fresh, on the toe, & bright Beholden to the chirping of visitors, who always keep me alive.

Mamma didn't move; Daddy took to low l...

To rest is to reset! Week-offs are the days when we all are set ashore to change our physical or mental ability soaked up in laziness or weariness into the renewed vitality of plunging back into the sea of life again. It's the days that we yearn for spending time with our very intimate people, socializing with friends, or travelling to desired places with the given freedom of being into ownself, and are free from being watched by the eyes calculating merits and from every political or protocolic motives of business.
