Sabudana Makes You A Prima Donna?

Well, it's not for nothing that the Maharashtrian parents feed their boys and girls sabudana -the pearly white sago- in the form a a sabudana vada or sabudana khichadi from an early age. It is responsible for the glow in their (the kids') skin, the spring in their step (the kids') and a lot more.

Not all aspects of the mystique of Sabudana have been explored. If reports are to be believed, sabudana has a lot of other benefits. Both for males and females, their Sexiness Quotient (SQ) goes up manifold, making it easier to attract the opposite sex when they reach the appropriate age. Look around you, and you will see the truth of these reports. Unconfirmed reports also have it that Madhuri Dixit and Sachin Tendulkar owe their success to sabudana khichadi in large measure. Well, we'd have to check with their parents, but looking at the world-beaters Maharashtra regularly produces in various fields -not just cricket and Bollywood- I'd say there is some merit in this line of thinking.

Of course, the frequency and regularity of consumption is the key. Maybe one day, non-Maharashtrians will learn the secret recipe and produce Prima Donnas (or the male equivalent, Primo Uomos- I bet you didn't even know this word). Till then, you can just look at us, and be jealous of our kids (I didn't say us!).

Yes, being Maharashtrian, he must be fully aware of its powers.
