Cravings

My favourite food channel anchors blared into my ears ‘Cravings my dear is what when one has to have to eat with the vigour and zest.....’ Craving to eat is absolutely understood! It is embedded in mythology and the guts yell when you feel the tremors of emanating aromas from the food that is being fried or the wok that is being fed with the spices. Yet in these modern ages we have developed a wide vista of cravings. Some of them are extremely irritable to an observer trying to strike a conversation of more dear subjects than the other following and forwarding ‘stupid’ jokes on WhatsApp. People have stopped liking basic instincts like discussing family matters or office gossips over priority to follow a soap in which headless people are making insipid moves to create openings on how the serial could last years with followers glued to the allotted timing. I remember well when on wednesday evenings in the yester- years hindi song program Binaca Geetmala on Radio Ceylon was a craving of such magnitude you couldn’t forget the program for the rest of the week. The presenter, Amin Sayani, was the first iconic radio jockey. Video gaming in unearthly hours, spirit consuming habit, compulsory vicious exercising are misdoings that can rob your mind of rationale and unsettle your nerves and end up wasting precious productive time and aggravate health issues.
