| Home Made Thukpa |
“I will not
eat Thukpa any more, I had enough when I was young” says one of my cousins.
listening to his story of having Thukpa three times a day made me realize how
pathetic they were in their times. However on the positive note, we must also
thank someone for this wonderful recipe for making thousands survive.
I also have few interesting story of Thukpa to be
shared. For me Thukpa was always been a choice since as a kid. Being eldest
in the family, I also knew some of the difficulties of my parents. Therefore I sometime used to insist Thukpa as our formal meal to cut down the cost. When Thukpa
was ready, I used to call my brothers\sisters saying “Wai…Thukpa Zalay odo” in
the top of my voice, meaning come for a Thukpa. My parents use to scold me, not to shout
fearing our neighbors would hear, and I don’t repeat from next time.What I am trying to say from the above two
stories is, what’s wrong in eating Thukpa sometimes. Why people think its worst
than drugs and alcohol?, Why is it being stigmatize?. How many us really think in the same way?.
Now, who all really take Thukpa? Its everyone, of course in an important occasions. Thukpa is the first food being served in every household
in most important occasions such as, Blessed rainy Day, Meeting of Nine Evils,
Chueni pa Losar and Daw Dangpi Losar. So the question is why this simple food
plays a big role in our society. A food that is being down looked are sometimes considered as most important..Why? Why and Why?
Now what I think is our own attitude towards this
simple food. It’s not the food that is changing with time but it’s we the people who are
viewing it from the different attitude with times as if we are watching whether is it by or
for choice. Rather Thukpa is also recommended by diet specialist most of the
time for balanced diet. Such food will burn your complex carbohydrates slowly and will make you full for long time.
Some may wonder why I am
writing on such an immature subjects, but it’s just because such stigma still prevails
in this 21st century even among the educated lots.
