Lessons from a Gulab Jamun

Hi

I am a gulab jamun..

Gulab whatt???

Gulab Jamun..
And today I would be telling you the art of savouring me..

I was initially round, but with liberization and quest for innovation, gave me a few other shapes and sizes..

And yes..
I am sweet..
And hot..
And everything good you could have asked for..

Over a period of time, people, keeping pace with the fast lanes, have forgotten to enjoy me..
They just gobble, burp and move on..
This is just not done..
Am not made for just gobbling up god damn it..

Am supposed to be relished..
Bite by bite..
Drip by drip...

Am best enjoyed when hot..
In pairs..
And I gel best with ice cream (preferrably vanilla), for that hot n cool effect..

Take a healthy serving..
Find a secluded corner..
And forget all your worries for atleast a quarter of an hour..

Take a small piece..
Blow it cool(lest u want a burnt mouth)..
Close your eyes..
Put it in..
Roll the tongue all over..

If done properly, you wont need to bite or swallow..
And you'll feel me for atleast 60 seconds after that..

If you do, you have mastered the art..
If you dint, lets do it again...

Incase, I get too hot, theres ice cream by the corner to cool off..

Its not just me, I believe you humans have become indifferent to all the emotions of life off lately..

Everyday I see hundreds of you wheezing past me, without caring to look around..
Without caring to admire the beauty..
Without caring to appreciate the nature..
Without bothering about emotions..
Without love..
Without care..

Dont know where and why they are running all over the place..
For whom?

They claim for their loved ones..

But when was the last time they spent an evening with them???
When was the last time they were home for their kid's bday??
Were they there when their kids took their first step??
Were they there when their kids spoke their first words??
When their old lonely parents needed them??
When their distressed wives needed a hug???

I might be just a stupid gulab jamun, but why cant you see that I can??

Stop running around..
Take a break..
Set your priorities...

Its a beautiful world..

And once you do decide to enjoy..
Do not forget to relish yours truly..
The gulab jamun..
