You go, girl! |
Tomatoes: A human body is like two tomatoes placed one on the top of the other. If the top tomato rots, it simply stinks, but if the bottom one rots, it collapses and brings down the top one as well. Therefore you need to take extra care of the lower tomato. Now if you are reading this article, I am sure your top tomato is in the pink of health, but I cannot say the same thing about the bottom one. To keep your tomatoes in fine fettle, you need to eat a lot of tomatoes. Whenever, wherever, you see a red tomato, eat it then and eat it there, you will be young forever.
Eggs: A human body can also be imagined as two eggs placed one on the top of the other. Although the primary role of an egg is to ensure the continuity of a species, it is also supposed to be eaten. I like eggs because they can be eggstensively used to create eggcentric words, for eggsample, eggsclude, eggsclusive, eggzactly, eggcetera, eggcetera. Chicken eggs should be eaten regularly, not only for the strength of one's lower egg, but also for the health of the whole planet. If we stopped eating eggs, the world would be run over by chickens, hens, and roosters. Go grab an egg before it turns into a chicken. An egg a meal, while making this earth free from filth, will also give you abs of steel!
Mango Chutney: A human body can also be compared to mango chutney, but only when a person has eaten lots of mangoes, and then he has been run over by a train or a bulldozer. Anyway, here I am not talking about chutney, literally, but a literary book called Mango Chutney: An Anthology of Tasteful Short Fiction to which I have contributed a short story. Now wait a moment, please don’t start eating the book. Books help us stay healthy in a different way, and this is how it works -- when you spend your hard-earned money and precious time on buying and reading books, it makes you so poor that you are gleaned away from the unhealthy debilitating lifestyle of the rich. Go get a copy of Mango Chutney, guys, to find relief from the stress of daily grind.
So these are the three super-awesome things that I have been recommending to my near and dear ones these days. I hope you are now so awfully well-acquainted with the exemplary benefits of eating eggs and tomatoes that you will restrain yourselves from throwing them on me in case you find my story in Mango Chutney, unappetizing. To be honest, I have written a simple story in simple English. Someday I wish to write abstract, abstruse, or absolutely undecipherable stories, which will confuse and confound the cognoscenti.
Finally, I want to assure you that there was no ulterior motive for writing this post other than a deep concern for the health of my dear friends. May your tomatoes remain in the pink of health! May your top and bottom eggs provide you worldly and otherworldly pleasures!
