Oh, yes, I did try to do my little bit for those preparing for the NET test. As the NET Eng Lit exam is scheduled for June 25, the Soupçon MCQ Series comes to an end this Friday. Though I began rather late, I did manage to provide some hundred test items for the examinees. Hope my attempt would help them.
The taste in the title of our blog has nothing to do with any test whatsoever. Rather, it is an attempt to find out if the culinary preference of a person, the gastronomic taste a person enjoys the most reflects the personality type, that is, an individual's psychological profile.
It is my hunch that most probably it might. Do not the homeopathic and/or ayurvedic doctors ask the patients any number of such questions so that the basic personality type, sanguine, choleric, kaffa/pitta/vata dosh, et al, might be located so as to route the 'dis-ease' at the root?
Unfortunately, the very easy to digest, Whatsapp University kind of generalisations, that may appear spurious, suspicious, or both, ruin the taste of such an analysis, right? Actually, if thoroughly and deeply analysed, such a connect between the taste and the psychological profile may indeed be the best bet to understand, to work upon, to improve one's own self, and in the process , one's relationship with the self and the others, right? After all, you are what you eat!
Pratima@Even the Bhagwad Geeta, especially Chapter XVIII, talks of the three "aahar" and the three personalities, "tamas", "rajas", "satvik", right?
Quote of the day: "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are." Touché, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin!
Word of the day: flavour Flavour (or flavor, as in American English) primarily refers to the sensory experience of a food or drink. It is also a metaphor across all the arts such as music, and in linguistics.
