Most times, the foods which make us salivate , foods we crave for are artificially flavored or colored. The strawberry shakes have no strawberry and the chocolate spreads don't even have the remotest trace of chocolates. They still are favored over true strawberries. The Vanilla Pods are black and fragrant , people who relish Vanilla Ice cream , I am sure haven't seen the pods. The difference is Black and white . Vanilla is most consumed "Flavor" in Ice creams , yet so far from true Vanilla, this also applies to Humans.
People who are favorites of society, who are popular, ones who are liked have like-able colors and pleasurable flavors. It is immaterial that these colors are synthetic and these flavors are far more natural. I often see that as possibly my number 1 shortcoming as individual. I have always believed that truth strengthens relationships and colors of formality and flavors of social acceptance. From my first relationship to last, all have suffered due to my sheer denial of fact that this society thrives on such colors and flavors. I find fans of Film stars as naive, for they don't know they are following an illusion, a synthetically favored and colored individual.
When I look back , i conclude that I would have thrived in a lot of relationships if I had just accepted a few drops of flavors and colors. There is no remorse, just acceptance. True flavors aren't consistent, they are seasonal and choppy. I never valued the nee dto colors and presentation. I wasn't good at Birthdays, gifting, parties, dressing up and looking good.
The fact is while I was stubborn, destiny also didn't make too many who appreciate foods free to flavors and colors . A matter of destiny ......
My favourite ghazal today ...
दैरो हरम में बसने वालों ...मैखानो में फूट ना डालो ..
तूफ़ान से हम टकरायेंगे ...तुम अपनी कश्ती को संभालों...
मयखानों में आये वायज ..इनको भी इंसान बना लो ...
आरिज़ ओ लब सादा रहने दो ...ताजमहल पे रंग ना डालो
