Resources belong to the society

I want to share a story which is based on a true incident.

Some Indians went to a restaurant in Hamburg, Germany.There were a few old ladies on another table. When a dish was served, the waiter would distribute the food for them, and they would finish every bit of the food on their plates.

The Indians ordered a lot of food for them. When they left, there was still about one third of unconsumed food on the table.When they were leaving the restaurant, they heard someone calling them. They noticed the old ladies in the restaurant were talking about them to the restaurant owner.The old ladies were unhappy about them wasting so much food. One of the Indians said "We paid for our food, it is none of your business how much food we left behind"

The old ladies were furious. One of them immediately took her hand phone out and made a call to someone. After a while, a man in uniform claimed to be an officer from the Social Security organization arrived. Upon knowing what the dispute was, he issued Indians a 50 Mark fine.

The officer told the Indians in a stern voice, "Order what you can consume, money is yours but resources belong to the society. There are many others in the world who are facing shortage of resources. You have no reason to waste resources."

I hope you all understood what is being conveyed through this story.
Coming to Sadda Haq I remember in the dowry special episode, Sanyukta was shown throwing her food when her parents were not answering her questions. Also in one of the episodes when Vidushi became jealous after seeing Parth and Arpita together, she threw her plate in canteen.

I never approve of such scenes being shown in a show that too a youth show because they convey a wrong message that if you are angry then you have the right to vent your anger on food.

Wastage of food in any form should not be encouraged. We are from a country which is not very rich in resources. There are a lot of people who don't get sufficient food to eat. We may not help them directly but if we stop wasting
our food then indirectly in some form or the other we will be helping them.

Exactly! In a restaurant many of us order more than what we can consume just for show off .
This mentality needs to be changed.

A big salute to you for this post.
you are indeed right.
Many a times I have been going to restuarant with my family, even though when I was full,
my dad forces me to finish the food.
After reading this post now I got some senses.
They shouldn't show such kind of scenes not only in youth show but in other shows.
Whether its youth or saas bahu types these scenes should not be promoted.
Hats off to u for this post

Absolutely right. Especially in functions like marriages a large amount of food is wasted which is enough to feed a number of families. I am sure with proper management and preplanning this type of wastage can be avoided.
