Hungry Kya ????

Did you know hunger could make you dumb, I mean you can speak but without power to think? Did you know hunger could make you somewhat deaf; you could hear voices but not interpret them well? Did you know hunger could leave you even handicapped,  you could move but with difficulty?

Guess what! I experienced the same just after a single day of fast! The time limit to reach such state could vary from individual to individual, but that’s not the question. The point of discussion is: “Aren’t we blessed enough that we don’t have to sweat hard for getting meals three times a day?”

The United Nations estimated that nearly 870 million people of the 7.1 billion people in the world, or one in eight, were suffering from chronic undernourishment in 2010-2012. Stats are alarming; approximately 1 in 8 people in this world might sleep with the feeling that left me half-dead, and that too almost everyday.

“Aren’t we blessed enough that we don’t have to sweat hard for getting meals three times a day?” But on the contrary, most of us might have felt dejected on inability to afford party in five star on new year eve or might have had long discussion on which cuisine to try today, or starved for pizza if it got late for delivery.

Experts agree that junk food is a huge contributor to skyrocketing rates of diabetes, high blood pressure, and even strokes. These stats are from developed nations and soon the rich people in developing countries would match them.

Isn’t this ironical, on one hand people who cannot afford food are dying of malnutrition and people have surplus of resources are dying of heart diseases?

Isn’t this reason good enough to cherish the meal you get daily at your home? Doesn’t that meal not only nourishes your body but feeds also your soul too?
