Did we invite the Devil into our house? The answer is presumably – yes. How and why ? In the changing situations and stress faced by the house wives these days most of the house wives prefer preserving food in the Fridge. It is normally understood that Fridge is a good preservative due to the climatic conditions maintained in the box. Lack of time, pressure of work, running after the needs, what not – so many reasons contributed for depending on the Fridge. This dependency increased in India in the recent couple of decades while it is already in vogue in other countries. One way Fridge is really a boon for the housewives, it helps retention of the freshness of the fruits, vegetables, milk, curd and so on. Unfortunately the box is now misused. Housewives are gradually preferring to retain the cooked food in the fridge under the feeling that the cooked food can be used on subsequent days. In certain cases, food is being cooked in the evening times and retained in the fridge for use in the next day morning and subsequently too. While this practice has already in shape in metro cities, it is gradually spreading to the towns and villages in India. Indians residing abroad, to my experience, started even retaining the Indian traditional pickles in the Fridge.
According to a recent study, these days several lives are off due to consumption of poisonous food. It is observed that several Indian families are keeping the Sambaar-tamarind soup, coconut pickle and like this in the fridge and normally it is now being prepared for 2 to 3 days instead of earlier practice of preparing for dinner and lunch. You may aware that bacteria develops fast in Noodles, cooked rice, potatoes, beans, unpacked non-veg items etc. These items should not be retained for long time in the fridge as they help developing bacteria fast due to which dizziness, abdominal pains etc occur. Due to several reasons the handle of the fridge is very roughly handled and proper care is not taken and in the study it is revealed that the bacteria developed on the handle is more worse than what is found in the toilets.
After all what ever we earn if it does not grant us food comforts, what for do we earn?. All the living beings give priority to food. Even some animals prefer only fresh food. There fore it is essential that we should pay some attention to cook food on need based though it is a little time and energy consuming process. It gives us satisfaction; it protects our health; it is the main source of our energy for TOMORROW’s activities.
Probably it is the reason, in the Indian traditional system, offering of fresh cooked food to the Lord in daily worship was made a compulsory process. Is it the time to recheck and realize virtually what our fore fathers mean and for ….
