Not fair but unfair

 Except my hair ( if at all I have enough of it), I dont like anything black. Any thing that is not very fair appears to be less attractive to me. Not just fellow humans but also the rice I eat to the additive sugar or salt, I usually prefer very fair coloured one. I have a subconscious belief that all that is not fair is unfair and strictly subscribe to the belief that fair is not just lovely but also handsome. Never wonder there is a famous Tamil cine-dialogue that one who is fair complexioned will never lie.( VELLAIYAA IRUKKRAVAN POI SOLLA MAATTAN).
       
                       If given a chance my mom resorts to cooking brown-rice and even starts lecturing on the nutritional advantage of it over the excessively polished white rice.However the most disgusting rice is those delivered in PDS(Public Distribution System) shops- popularly known as ration shops. Atleast 40 crores of Indians are still reliant on this ration supplied rice for their daily subsistence,which sometimes is not sufficient to many.

                      Have you ever seen the ration-rice?I do not understand how these people who are dependent on ration-supplied rice eat it.Even the smell of this rice some times prevent me from even accessing the PDS shops.We are privileged to have not used it.Let us thank God, the Almighty ,for making us economically powerful to afford a market supplied, fair and lovely, polished rice.

                            However I own a Below Poverty Line Ration card using which the rice is purchased free of cost from the PDS shop and usually is used for our pet-dog's consumption. At the starting of every month, we shall see middle-agents near PDS shops who will purchase this rice at a cheaper price from us. Thanks to them and their strong supply chain system, the same rice reaches the market as my favourite fair and handsome, neat and clean, white rice.Without them and their value addition, shiny and soft rice,even if it is nutrition defecient and very expensive, may not be in supply. So I would like to extend my heart felt gratitude to them for providing me with fair, clean and shiny rice and also sugar whereas to the State for not restraining them in the name of any health or standards regulation.
