Well Cooked Rice

Cooks say that if you want to know
how well rice has been cooked, then roll some of it into a ball.

Throw that ball of rice on to the
wall.

If the rice gets stuck there, the
rice is wet and more like a gruel.

If, however, the rice ball gets
scattered then the rice is under-cooked.

When the rice ball remains intact,
then the rice is well-cooked indeed.

This was narrated to us by Mr.
Shah at his home today.

He further said that, much like
cooked rice, we too must assess and understand human beings.

We should not judge people in
haste.

Sometimes that approach does not
give good results.

These indeed, are good and
valuable anecdotes.
