There is a saying in Sanskrit which roughly translated means "Let Noble Thoughts come to us from all sides"
That is the inspiration behind the Good Habits Card created today – Konkan Culture of Eating.
The pointers are applicable in any eating situation anywhere…they are quite universal and that was inspirational.
The text below, in case you are not able to read it properly on the card:
'Look at your plate while eating. Never ask for a thing if you have it already on your plate. If you do, it shows only your greed. Let not a single grain of rice be strewn outside the plate. Do not make a fuss about any deficiency or defect in the food – less salt, more chilly and so on. If there is any foreign matter like hair, do not shout about it. Quietly remove it. But if you suspect any harmful substance being mixed with the food, tell others about it so that they are duly warned. Do not waste anything. Leave the plate clean'.
