This is a very short post/lecture (Mother-in-Law, you may want to look away!)
I have been feeling very guilty about the amount of food that we waste here in Bombay. Either when we don't finish everything on our plates or when something goes off in the fridge or when we over-order in a restaurant. I always felt bad when this happened back in the UK, but here, there's just no excuse for it when there are so many malnourished men, women and children around.
Now, when we have some food left over from a restaurant meal I always ask the waiter to package it up so that we can try and give it away to a hungry child at a road junction. Although they don't really want it, they just want your money. But sometimes it can make someone's day.
Here are some images to focus the mind.

This picture is a WHOLE room dedicated to desserts at the Sunday Brunch offering at the JW Marriot in Juhu. Every dessert imaginable is on this table. |
Look again. A child with no shoes ...probably about 6/7 years old, begging in the same way. I am hoping she gets lucky. |
NOW BE SURE TO FINISH EVERYTHING ON YOUR PLATE AND DON'T WASTE STUFF IN YOUR FRIDGE!!!!
