THE workaday commute adds up to a total 5-6 hours— turbo-broiled chicken, ratatouille, dinengdeng, raw fiddlehead fern salad, steamed fish or beef stew takes lesser time, a lot less tedious, and tastier, too.
Me ruego no juego—honest, I prey, oops, pray while in transit. See? It’s more fashionable these days to pray solely at wakes for the dead. Take note: passengers and commuters are in transit. The condition’s too close to that phase “in transition”— a crossing beyond the pernicious reach of taxes and lousy governance, a going to the great six feet under.
So, it’s simply apt and fashionable to mutter or mumble a ton of prayers while in transit. A feast of prayers can be construed as a diet of sorts. It’s glorious food. Call it manna. Maybe it’s ambrosia, godly ichor or intoxicating liquor. Something burns inside, probably in some unexplored regions of the psyche—and it needs to be filled and well-fed to keep its fierce fire alive. Dull embers and cold ashes are for the dead-starved or malnourished.
In transit, I dig in, relish a feast— 99 divine offerings to choose from, each one served by an unseen servitor that smell of sandalwood, honey, or new-mown hay.
Whoever said you are what you eat? I could be dead-wrong but there's more than sustenance, vital nutrients or deadly poisons in what we chew through and ingest. We feed upon lousy viewing fare-- the lousiness rubs in on us. We can invoke vitriol and invectives-- and these noxious substances ooze off the very pores of our skin.
You become what you eat...
