I happened to watch a programme on a Tamil television channel a couple of days ago. The programme was on culinary interests. I have not learned cooking yet. I love to cook though. Perhaps, the time has not come yet for me to plunge myself into the art of cooking. I love eating and consider cooking a form of art and must be paid a lot devotion to in nurturing it. The programme was a kind of fight between two sexes on the contention of resolving which of the sexes is better in terms of cooking. The organisers had invited celebrities of either sex to represent the vast sex populace. One of the women contenders was invited to prepare a kind of tasty dish to challenge the male community. The woman, i do not know her name, a popular singer though she is, had not braided her long tresses and started cooking with the cascading lock of hers. One of the anchors of the programme, a young and upcoming actress, was wearing a lot of baubles covering the entire arms of hers, was helping out to this celebrity in mixing things up for the preparation of the broth.
The thing that struck me was, those celebrities, can they not know the basic principles of cooking, like, one should not allow the hair unbraided, loose and cascading as there is a possiblity of allowing strands of hair fall into the food. Or has of late cooking become a fashion like the display of clothes, to be performed with all fine make-up and great touch of rouge. I am male. However, i do not support the male team and i am not an anti-feminist kind of a person. I convey the feeling of mine as an ordinary person, a simple eater that is all. I may sound old fashioned to some of you. However I look forward to reading a lot insightful comments from the readers of this blog.
The picture looks so cute.. There might hair falls as she never combs it or puts coconut oil. You have 2 adjust as hair falling on food can strenghten relationships. I wish you to get u a good wife who can cook delicious food for u with hairs.
ReplyDeleteBala, we viewers are innocents in the world of show and glamour. What you saw was stage craft beyond the imagination of Shakespeare. It would not be a surprise if the dish prepared were a plastic model. So unreal are the reality shows.
ReplyDeleteLol.. We Virgo people are always creative in our thoughts

Dear Saranya, you are right. However, there must be some basic tenets to be observed and followed. What i have intended through my write-up is the shows express things rather differently. They have made up everything showy and glossy with no depth in them.
ReplyDeleteHi Bala,
ReplyDeletethis is the first time I read your blog. Very interesting, boss. You have got a lot of insight as to select and appreciate different articles and films. As for the tidbit about cookery, well, one should remember Vivek's comedy in a certain movie as to what would happen when you try to follow the acts from a TV show.
Anyway, you are right when you said that basic TENETS (the most appropriate word to the context) should be followed.
Dear Siv, thanks for following the blog and your comments too. Please be kind enough to convey more about you.
