How easily we leave food in the name of taste, saying I'm full and throw it but the same piece of loaf can be a diet for someone.
I was in Jabalpur yesterday I just had Lays n Coffee on breakfast so was feeling hungry at 2pm. I went to nearest one the Samdhariya Mall and at 3pm ordered Onion Uttapam. He gave me a big sized uttapam that was in two parts. I ate one somehow but I was feeling too full for another part. I dont wanted to waste it so I asked the person at counter to wrap it. I took the wrapped Half uttapam and thought will eat during dinner with ketchup n tea.
It...
more... was 7pm and I was waiting on pf, suddenly a very old guy apx 70years came and sat next to me. He was looking very much financial striken, poor clothes.
I dont know but after watching him for 10 minutes I asked him "Baba kuch khayenge kya aap ?"
To which he replied in shaking and miser tone "Kya khau Kaise khau? ".
I told him that I have something to eat and said "Saaf hai, Accha hai jutha bhi nhi hai" and gave that uttapam to him after unwrapping. He was looking into amazement then I thought he might feel it less tasty as its just Uttapam, I teared the sauce sachet and poured it on corner.
He ate first bite and I asked him "Kaisa H ? " and he said with a glow in eyes "Badhiya hai..."
After a moment he took out his glass, he had glass I was having water, He had hope I had Will and I poured water from my bottle and he drank it...
Later I gave a buiscuit packet to him so that he can eat it later.
During lunch I was wondering that why I am not able to eat full Uttapam and feeling full so early but later I realized the grains of that part were meant for the old man's meal that day..
Its the pic of him while eating. I dont wanted to take his face as i thought he may feel bad if I click pic of him. So I clicked this much only...
Its one more experience added to my travel experience diary ..
please wait...Translate to EnglishDamn, we be wastin' food just for taste, be like "I'm full" and chuck it, but that stuff could be a whole meal for someone else. Yesterday in Jabalpur, all I had was Lays and Coffee for breakfast, had me starvin' by 2pm. Went to Samdhariya Mall and got me a big Onion Uttapam by 3pm, but couldn't finish it all. Didn't wanna waste it, so I saved it for dinner with ketchup and tea. As I was waitin' at the platform at 7pm, this old guy around 70 came and sat beside me, lookin' real down and out. After watchin' him for a bit, I asked if he wanted to eat somethin', and he was hesitant. Gave him the uttapam, made sure it was clean, and even added some sauce. Dude was grateful and said it was good. Then he showed me his glass, so I gave him some water from my bottle. Gave him a pack of biscuits for later too. Later realized the reason I couldn't finish that uttapam was 'cause it wasn't meant for me, it was meant for that old man. Added another meaningful experience to my travel diary.
please wait...Translate to HindiKitna aasaani se hum khana chhod dete hain swaad ke naam par, bol ke main bhara hua hoon aur phenk dete hain par wahi tukda loaf kisi ke liye diet ban sakta hai.
Main kal Jabalpur mein tha, maine sirf Lays aur Coffee li thi breakfast par isliye 2 baje bhookh lag rahi thi. Maine pass wale Samdhariya Mall gaya aur 3 baje Onion Uttapam order kiya. Usne mujhe ek bada sa uttapam diya jo do hisson mein tha. Maine kuch kha liya ek somehow par doosre hisse ke liye bahut bhara hua mehsoos kar raha tha. Main waste nahi karna chahta tha isliye maine counter wale se request kiya usse wrap karne ko. Maine wrap kiya hua half uttapam liya aur socha shaam ko dinner mein ketchup aur chai ke saath kha lunga.
7 baje hua aur main pf par intezaar kar raha tha, tabhi ek bahut purana aadmi takriban 70 saal ka aya aur mere paas baitha. Usne financial crisis mein lagne wala tha, poor clothes the uske paas.
Main nahi jaanta par usko 10 minute dekhne ke baad maine usse pucha "Baba kuch khayenge kya aap?"
Jiska jawab aaya chhatpataate hue "Kya khau Kaise khau?"
Maine usse bataya ki mere paas kuch khane ko hai aur kaha "Saaf hai, Accha hai jutha bhi nahi hai" aur usse uttapam diya unwrap karke. Usne hairat se dekha fir maine socha ki shayad usse woh kum swad lagega kyunki sirf Uttapam hai, maine sauce ka packet kholkar kona par daal diya.
Usne pehla bite khaya aur maine usse pucha "Kaisa H?" aur usne chamakdar aankhon se kaha "Badhiya hai..."
Kuch der baad usne apna glass nikaala, uske paas glass tha aur mere paas pani, usme ummeed thi uske paas Irada aur maine apni bottle se pani daala aur usne piya...
Baad mein maine usse ek biscuit packet diya taki woh baad mein kha sake.
Lunch ke samay mujhe hairani hui ki kyun main poora Uttapam nahi kha pa raha aur itna jaldi bhara mehsoos kar raha hoon par baad mein mujhe realise hua ki woh tukde ke grains woh purane aadmi ke bhojan ke liye meant the us din..
Yeh uski tasveer hai jab woh kha raha tha. Mujhe uska chehra nahi lena tha kyunki maine socha woh bura feel karega agar main uski tasveer click kar loon. Isliye maine bas itna hi click kiya...
