Pinch of Salt

I have never cooked earlier in my life. Haven't touched the gas stove at all for many years for not even boiling water. But I have a very good taste. At least that’s helps to work with chefs when preparing menu trying new items. Even if there is a little of salt is missing or over done or if it wasn't cooked like the previous time I could easily figure it out. Couple of months before since I had a little time suddenly I thought let me just give a try to cook and see how terrible it is. Couple of items I did it came out pretty good. Favorite was the Beef Ularthiyathu which came out pretty well couple of times. I did it couple of times for me, and home and friends. Also with couple of other gravies. And when we dined I was able to feel the salt was missing on it. Since friends Dev & Rohan didn't say anything as I cooked specially for them they said its all good and they had it. But I was able to sense it the salt was really missed on one of the dal gravies. It was a gentle reminder for me its always easy to just taste and tell that salt is missing or its too much. But only when we do we know the difficulty of striking the balance. As that was couple of times only I had done it, still didn’t get the hang of it to taste and to get the salt to be adjusted. But it was a different kind of thought though we may be putting all the full efforts in anything we do but we may think of very very little things in life which are of no significance and we may not even consider to check them. But eventually most of the times that turns out to be major factors in we missing something big or huge or turning in a mess cos of that little thing we know that needs to be checked or fixed which we failed to do so. Sometimes its just a little thought or little action or that little habit could play a greater impact in our lives. Like a pinch of salt that one small little habit that needs to be given up or that new habit that needs to be cultivated could make our lives more purposeful and meaningful. And its a reminder for me to work on the habits to give up few things and to cultivate new good habits.
