Cooking for self

Today I cooked for myself:) yes I made the favorite of everyone sabudana khichadi for myself:) unbelievable ! It’s favorite of my girls, Milind and whoever has eaten it before. Every Time, I cooked it for them. From the time I started making the sabudana khichadi I always made for everyone who was a centre of my life then and who loved to eat it:) first for Milind then for girls, family, special guests then for children’s friends:)

Today also I planned to make it for a visitor who loved it. But he canceled his visit last minute and I thought I will keep everything in fridge and prepare tomorrow for Mithu when she comes.

Suddenly I realized that I was actually looking forward to eating it myself for breakfast and felt a deep disappointment that I can’t eat it now. Then I saw how untruthful I am! All these years I kept making others the purpose for receiving a simple joy for myself. In the cover of giving joy to someone else I was actually pleasing myself.

Today I decided to authentically cook my favorite sabudana khichadi for no one else but myself. And I made it exactly how I like it, little less on salt n chilies, slightly crispy with lots of cilantro and ate with lots of yogurt:)

Also enjoyed it watching my favorite old Raj Kapoor movie on YouTube:)

My god a simple decision made me feel such freedom from untruth I was holding as my greatness:):)

Sabudana khichadi is indeed divine:)

About Anando

Life is ecstatic.
Active and involved without expecting to live.
Every day is celebration.
Beautiful like a raga simply unfolding.
Breathing music with beating of my heart . 
The stillness within me is glowing rainbow colors.
It is in this stillness, deep down I witness,
I am living,
I am alive,
I AM
