Weekend we went to a buffet at an Indian restaurant . I told my husband that I would just have some chat items that are on the appetizer table and nothing more since I was not in the mood to eat other things.

As soon as we saw the buffet my husband commented see there is pani poori and bhel poori. Eat all you want.

Yes, my first plate was full of this and it tasted good too. I slowly got a second serving of the same but not much. Then I started feeling self conscious. What if people notice me eating the same stuff?

Truth be said, no one including the hotel staff notice what we are eating. Everyone is in their own world. Then I started looking around. A grandma was taking a picture of her granddaughter and a couple talking with each other. I didn’t notice what was in their plates at that point. My mind just made a mental observation. I didn’t even know what my husband ate that day.

Isn’t it surprising how self conscious we are? We have been raised in such a way as to what the society will think about us. Ha, the society doesn’t care and doesn’t have time to care. That is the truth.

Yet we are so self conscious in all our activities and we do things to satisfy the society. Yes, raising us to be self aware of ourselves helps us be more productive and maintain a good direction in life. But we take it to the next step and make a mess of our lives.

By the way, I just had two servings of the chat appetizer and moved on to the rice table. And no I didn’t have any sweet cravings that day. Just for your information if you do care about it 😊!
