Naïve Omelett

Whenever we are asked about cooking, most of us stick to one dish that we all can make with perfection, or to be honest at least we can make it edible. As you can read it from the title. Yes, it’s Omelette.

Like every other bachelor in India, I too have stirred and poured the beaten eggs into heated oil thousands of times. When we don’t have anything to cook, we go for an omelette. Something quick to eat, Omelette. Some side dish for drinks, Omelette. Wanna show our skill in the only dish we know, Omelette. I also made an omelette, when I was bored. It’s quick right, beat eggs, add salt and chilli powder, pour it in a pan and flip. That’s it.

But most of the time in that thousands of omelettes, I have never made it look simple. Every time I break the eggs into the bowl, I search for something special, something different. Butter, spring onions, spicy masala or ginger, something new, something else from normal. I have made every kind of Omelette, with every item available in the kitchen. But believe me, nothing tasted like the simple one—that with just eggs, salt and chilli powder.

Just a few minutes before I typed this down, I tasted one of the most simple, quick omelettes. That reminded me of my grandmother, who used to make me an Omelette so easy and tasty with the bare minimum of ingredients. Simultaneously, I caught hold of a resemblance with life.

Let me tell you that.

Unlike every other story, let me tell you the summary first and then go into detail.

Our life is that simple omelette. It’s tasty, filling the purpose and wonderful. But we don’t like it that way.

Right from the time we were born, we always wanted something more, always trying to achieve beyond normal. Mediocrity is underrated. We put such a peaceful position aside and run for stress and pressure.

We look for branded items, like butter. We want assets in life, like the onions. In the process of thinking and being at a higher level, we forget to live ourselves. We left behind an easy, simple, perfect and happy life.

 

I assume the above is true. Make a quick, simple omelette and think for yourself.
