Reflections

My mother placed me in an educational institution when I was five, and I remained in one ever since! However, much learning is available away from organised set-ups. Sharing experiences is a wonderful human activity.

Plastic Spaghetti !

Anyone for plastic spaghetti ?

They are simply delicious ! They come in all shades of colours and consequently the taste varies very much.

Those that are red tinted look like lobsters but taste like cherries; the blue ones look like the tendrils of a climbing blue-bell but taste more like plums; an assortment can be presented in the by now famous dish called "the rainbow mix" which is actually available only at the most renowned restaurants. The taste is only discovered by the adventurous connoisseur and is regarded as a very confidential and esoteric matter.


The popularity of this culinary delicacy knows no bounds.

Just like all the other artificial items that surround us and with which we have learnt to live, sometimes in harmony and acceptance, and sometimes to our chagrin and disapproval.


Some artificialities have become so important, especially those that are pluses to our well-being, that we cannot stay without. Some examples would be: limbs that give mobility to otherwise shackled legs, state-of-the-art dentures that give an angelic smile to otherwise uninviting facial features, sighted glasses that turn blank faces into ponderous professorial looks, which, incidentally have become a useful fashionable item, and so on.

Life becomes more useful and sociable with solutions like these.

But I hate artificial flowers, artificial characters, artificial sweeteners, insemination, turf, fireplaces, smiles, .............all being artificial. The list may be much longer.

But I hate artificial spaghetti most of all.
