Eating rice. Only rice.


This happened on a busy week day. I came home to grab lunch and then do a report. I was tired from morning meetings, and went to kitchen to find, no curries left. Only then I remembered, I have devoured both breakfast and lunch portions in the morning, because they were great. (Greedy!)

I sat, with a plate full of rice, only rice.

I've never eaten rice alone, and felt bad. No time to prepare anything, as I had to complete a report.
I ate one lump. Then another. Felt like eating pulp.

Then I slowed down, and then began to enjoy (Enjoy !) the real taste of rice. Never in my life, I found taste of rice as on that day. Funny, I've been eating rice all my life, but never known its real taste.

This is like most things in life. We see things in a web, with lot of other things, hence forget to experience each individual's taste.

Hope you'll also try rice, only rice, once.
