Garnishing lyf's recipes...

GARNISHING....sounds yummy huh???yeah...opens the flood gates in our mouth...
So why does the word tickle our taste buds hmmm...
Garnishing, put in layman's words,means...To make the food look good..appetizing is the word..and now the question is why do we need the food to look good??
Well,personally speaking, i like it that way...N so do scores of others..we actually start anticipating the taste.Its not as if the food has gone bad or something,its not even as if it doesn't taste good..its just to make it better.Ya, we don't need the garnishing for survival, but we do appreciate its presence.. Easy on eyes,as they say...
And this funda of going easy on eyes seems to be applying everywhere.That's the reason why we suddenly have our world platform being dominated by anorexic women who call themselves 'size zero'..And that is the reason why people are getting more and more obsessed about their looks..Ya,cosmetic industry is flourishing but that is just one upside to it..And yeah,the audiences enjoy at their expense, so there goes another upside..Is anyone stopping to even think about the plight of those under the cameras and the aspiring wannabes?
Most of us dont...And in addition to it,most of us are actually joining the race of the wannabes..
First impression is the last impression...ya,i know that..but then shud it be the only impression??
Doesn't character matter anymore to anyone?No one has the time to taste the food anymore,they are just happy with the decorations..No time to stand and stare..(but perhaps in this case,time is just to stare and not to care...;-)...)
Some years back on a very popular channel there used to be a serial which was intially about how a girl with brains tries to stand out in industry on the basis of her knowlegde (jassi....)
The serial was interesting when they showed her struggles..We oohed and aahed..but we always knew how impractical and against the odds her success was..And towards the end,they finally had to show her transformation into the beauty queen then it was the same run of the mill story..And the morale of the story??...beauty reigns...
Low self esteem, self confidence everything coz people expect everyone to look good..it all comes in a full circle..trying to look good,liking others looking good and hence again trying to look good...
N so..We all shud've been professionally chefs...the way we are garnishing our lifes,hiding everything beneath it, woud've made a 5 star chef proud of us!!!
SO THREE CHEERS TO OURSELVES PPL!!!
