It is said that a family that prays together stays together. But these days this has become difficult as each member of a family thinks differently. It is however necessary that some activity is done together to ensure bonding.
The ‘kulfi’ man was responsible for our family bonding We would hear his lone voice in the dead of the night selling his wares. He made this kulfi himself and carried it in the ice box of yesteryears.
By then all members of the household would be back in the evening and would be in thie respective rooms snoring. But that call would wake up everyone. Any one member of the family would go to the balcony and call out to the kulfi man. We were on the third floor and there wa no lift. We could hear the sound of his heavy steps and wait drooling.
He would then ring the door bell. That was a beautiful sound what if it was heard in the middle of the night!! He would then ask for the number and scoop out the kulfi one by one. We would then all sit in the hall enjoying the stuff, slurping away.
This is how the kulfi man would be responsible for getting the family together as that was the only time when all would be at home. This was years ago but it is still vivid in my memory
Here is one of the several links that has a recipe for home made kulfi

In today’s world sadly even eating together is rarely done. Some will eat while watching tv, some will skip a meal or some will reach home late having to eat alone. Even while eating together there is little or no conversation. Most would be glued to their mobiles, buried in a world of their own.
Will the old charm ever come back is a million dollar question.

jhsayyar..well done. We cant forget good days when we all had our lunch and dinner together.Now modern inventions,especially computer and mobile, have changed everything.How strange that even small kids have their own mobile sets.They receive messages and calls. They play games and use net.This tendency has spoiled their habits.They even dont hesitate to use their mobiles during lunch and dinner.This tendency must be curbed by parents.
Just a small correction. This post is written by me - bestwriter :smile:
Those days of praying together, eating together and even sitting together is history now.
Yes, you say write that pray together and stay together for ever, I think we all human beings are thankless to God when we talk about staying together we pray and we eat and drink we do not pray because it is our habit to eat without raising the name of God,
We must start every work with the name of God on earth because there is a solid reason behind and a few know it that there are thousands of evil spirits roaming on earth preying human beings those are straying on earth forgetting God in their works.
What Evil Spirits on Earth
Evil spirits roan on earth just to astray men and women so that they could lead astray the innocent people of the world. We must not forget God in our daily life thus we shall get life prolonged and you will enjoy health and wealth.
You are right when you say that one does not have to pray before eating. I only said we must pray together. It is rather thanking than praying.
