Prevention Is Better Than Cure

I am having my breakfast of oats sprinkled with flax seeds… that is after polishing off a potassium rich, hippopotamus sized banana. All the while my hyperactive taste buds scream for ‘ appams & stews’, ‘puttu & Kadala’       (jodis made in heaven)… ghee dripping cheese paranthas. OMG!! one can ‘surf’ inside my mouth. But these delicacies are reserved only for weekends… the days we let our “will weaken. The Army regiments will feel proud of our culinary regimentation; the healthy, wealthy & supposedly wise diet which promises to guarantee a strong heart (which weakens at the sight of a teeny weeny samosa) & a longer life (to subject ourselves to more torture). All this sacrifice only because we, the ‘aware’ lot fervently believe in the saying ‘Prevention Is Better Than Cure’. But on retrospection, our ‘awarest’ lot, our Indian Govt, seems to be blissfully unaware of this age old saying.

‘Free Cure Is Better Than Prevention’ is their success mantra, so the Supreme Court ruling on April 10th made us to believe. We all are eligible to avail this free treatment… just need to get some ACID thrown on us first. So much for ‘Where the mind is without Fear’… & where bottles of acids fly high.

Right now I will let you avail a creative treatment through my humble blog and this too is for ‘free’. Here is a simple picture frame for you beauties, to showcase that picture perfect face of yours (one, God forbid, should never get marred by a pimple mark; let alone —).

Firstly bought a plain wooden  frame for  forty bucks.

 Gave  it an earthy hue with a liberal coat  of acrylic paint      (Burnt Sienna shade).

Got a couple of bright mud figurines at ten rupees apiece.

Stuck the figurines onto the frame.

Laminated a photograph and placed it inside the frame.

Went up the WALL OF FRAME.

How many more Lakshmis, need to get burnt before the Govt comes out with a strict, stricter, strictest rule to STOP ACID ATTACKS? Have they only heard of Tits & not the saying ‘Tit for Tat’… I Wonder???
