Its the small things that make a big difference

Its been a while since I wrote a post on this blog and this time I've decided to write one with some real 'food for thought'. Though there are lots of scenes one can recall from the movies, there is a particularly poignant scene from a very old Hindi movie,'Choti, Choti Baatein' starring the inimitable Motilal.
( Image sourced from Google) The family sits down for dinner,the camera shows us a close up of the husband, wife and three grown up children. The table is groaning with food, and it all looks really good. The dishes are passed from person to person as the family greedily attacks the food The father,who in this case, the main bread earner, gets each dish last. In most cases, the food has been cleaned out, or something very close to it. He looks at each dish closely, then at his family, all of whom are busy gorging . Then just goes ahead and eats whats left. At the end of the movie, he simply walks out Out of his own home as well as their lives.
