My wife called us to have a breakfast. My
wife has prepared a south Indian dish called ‘Pongal’ which is a favourite one
of her mother-in-law. “Grandma, you haven’t seen my gifts yet”, my son still
wants to have a chat with my mother. I thought he is not even allowing my mom
to speak. “Varun, let us have our breakfast first and then you can have a word
with grandma”, I said.
Varun sits near to her grandma in the
breakfast. The dish was served hot. It’s yummy smell increases my appetite. We
started to have the food. “I don’t like this black colored seed”, says Varun.
My mom watches him pick that black colored spice and keeping it in the corner
of his plate. The grandma said, “It is called as black pepper and is good for
our health”. Varun asked, “Are you speaking about this black colored one? “. “Yes,
it is used for digestive problems like indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea”, the
senior citizen replied. “But I do not have such problems and I am good now”,
Varun tried his best to avoid the pepper. “It is always good to have pepper in
the food. It has many medicinal qualities in it”, grandma replied in a polite
voice. Varun raised his eyebrows in order to know more about black pepper.
“Black pepper is used in toothpaste for
toothache. We can also chew it for throat inflammation. In fact, it acts as a remedy
for sore throats, cold, and cough. Pepper paste can be applied for skin diseases. This superb pepper prevents ants and houseflies from entering the
kitchen”. Varun wondered saying, “I thought it is just a small one but really
it is great to know about black pepper. I will not try to avoid pepper anymore,
grandma”.
Grandma is happy about making her grandson
understand that size doesn’t matter but its characters.
