Annadato Sukhibhava

Since the period of vedas food has been given importance in Indian diet. Called as "anna" food has been referred as "Anna Brahma" "Anna Poorna" since ancient times.

Cutting short to the present scenario India is recognized overseas as the country with abundant talent & a country with huge potential. Silently we are also on way to form 20% of the total world population being Indian. A promising country with growing population is seriously nobody's concern when they can self-sustain to form a force to recon with.

Fiction ends here! Reality check - Out of 132 Crore Indians roughly 20 crore of them do not have their food/meals daily. In more simple words, out of every 100 people - 15 of them do not get food daily. Who are these people? Why are they getting not food?  Doesn't it surprise us that, for some people having full meal itself maybe their definition of happiness!!

I am not writing this to discuss and find a solution for these people. 

But I will not stop without saying this - please take out a time from your week/month, cook food at your place and put it in multiple boxes (which we all have, thanks to swiggy) or pack food in multiple boxes from your favorite restaurant eatery and head out. In a city like Bangalore I am sure you will side many homeless men, women, children on streets -  give food these needy people - THEY DESERVE IT. While receiving from you, notice the smile on their face - it will be so pure. If you have children at your home - taken them along. I am sure the person who received food from you will bless you after eating "annadato sukibhava". It means "Let the one who provided me food be happy"

Be blessed!!
