If
the offering of uncooked rice as naivedyam evokes wonder followed by giggles,
what would gruel offering bring? Gruel of course is the stale food relished by a
great majority of our country's population and its power of sustenance is far
better than the cooked rice. It is not liked, rather held upto, ridicule by the
white collared gentry, or middle and upper middle class people. Their hollow
sophistication is blind to the realties and could not understand the vitamin
contents and also rich components it contains. The gruel, retains certain
nutrients and they are far superior to the cooked rice. Many unable to
understand this throw it out after taking cooked rice. A folly indicating
immaturity only. Those, who are accustomed to and take it are stronger,
healthier and happier than their brothers in higher cadres cited.
