Fast/feast

True Tyagu sir, everyone fasts if only between the meals. No one goes on an eatathon unless during some crazy competitions.

 

Ah, Tyagu sir, when you talk of "silver grey fish anointed with massala. my mouth is watering! While otherwise an egg eating vegetarian, I just cannot resist fish! Don't be shocked if I say you missed a golden opportunity to enjjoy a great meal!Sigh, I wish I had been in your place. During my student days in Italy, the university cafeteria used top serve fish on Friday (the "fast" day of staunch Catholics for whom meat was taboo on Friday). I who had been a vegetarian all the week living on pasta, bread, fruits and cheese would turn into az carnivore that day, Ah, those were the days.

 

Tyagu sir look at the issue honestly,. Did you love that meen kuzhambu a k a sambhar or not.? Tell me keeping your religious, cultural prejudices aside.

 

Viswa, Ramadan fasting is preceeded and followed by a binge. Does that neutralize the effect of the fast? The breaking of the fast known as Iftar has become a social occasion and Iftar parties are held almost every day, I am yet to meet someone who stays off food during the "fast" days, Doctors say fasting goes against medical wisdom as does binging. They recommentd small meals with gaps of couple hours berween them nowadays. And remembher, those who invented the "fas" days also invented the loopholes(probably).
