My thoughts are not about marinated meat or microwave ovens. This may sound soothing to the vegans who abhor even milk, butter, and cheese.
Parents often tell their children about bees and birds, but they seldom talk about cows and elephants. Maybe, the thread that strings them together is invisible. Birds eat grains; Bees buzz for honey; Cows graze on grass; Elephants chew leaves. Most of us human beings however follow their carnivorous cousins. We prefer to devour flesh, mercifully not raw, but dressed, marinated and cooked.
I am not blogging about food or cooking; but about a few pounds of flesh called life, and a crazy oven called living. Both are controlled by a celestial power called destiny.
Destiny has a split personality! If it is kind, it can also be cruel; generous it may seem now, stingy a while later. However it is never ignorant or indifferent. Destiny is said to be a great leveler, a strict disciplinarian, always fair and just to everyone. Therefore, when you go up the ladders of your life, remember the time to come down is imminent! If you lose something, do not lose your heart with it; future has something else in store for you. Always take the stick willingly for, carrots may well be on the way!
Destiny gave me an opportunity to experience it all. How I got such a precious gift is as mysterious as the success formula behind aHollywood box-office hit! Everyone likes success and yearns to recreate it. Experience however, stops me from joining that bandwagon. Once bitten, twice shy?
Oh! I forgot. The oven is still hot. The piece of meat called life is continuing to burn. Wait until I turn it over...
