Its going to be my daughters birthday in a weeks time. I was just thinking that most of the time in the name of parties including weddings for that matter, we order lots of food and end up wasting a lot more also. Am not saying parties and feast are wrong actually its fun and is a good way of meeting up our friends and relatives and also have a quality time with loved ones. But when we choose about the dish that we have to order and plan for it, there is vision of those under privileged comes into my mind.
People who do not have a choice to choose their food not because of health reasons but because of Poverty...People who have no choice and who are in need of food just for survival...If we think of them we would never have the heart to waste food. I am not the right person to say this actually because I have just too many choices. I love to enjoy my food and eat but at the same time I would outright reject some dishes and waste them.
So next time when we plan a party or feast along with that may be some percentage of money we probably can allocate for charity or donate to orphanage or some noble deed.
May be the blessings we get from them is one of the best gift we could give to our children also. Also actually if you have experienced it you will know that the best happiness lies in seeing others happy especially those who are in need.
In Helen Keller's words, the best things in life cannot be seen or heard but only can be felt!!!
By the way for those in India please note that
If you have a function/party at your home in India and food gets wasted, don't hesitate to call 1098 (only in India) - Its not a Joke - child helpline. They will come and collect the food.
