The garlic bread....


Garlic bread - Soft Fluffy bread with crispy hard brown crust is just the right start for a delicious meal any time

This is the description you  will find about garlic bread in any pizza hut website. Garlic bread is like a side dish whenever you order a meal deal in pizza hut. I am sure all of you have wondered why they serve this, it is almost unwanted compared to a delicious juicy pizza. Trust me i have nothing against pizza even though Being a vegetarian limits my options to either margarita or veg pizza. But the secret is, i am one of those people who order a meal deal just to get the garlic bread.

It is actually the love for this side dish that forced me to think about life from a different angle. The angle we normally miss. Why is it that the pizza is always the one that is being marketed and not our dear garlic bread? Is the garlic bread not important enough? or is it because that people really don't care if they sell the garlic bread or not. Or may be because it is less costly. Or may be even because it is just a start for a meal time and not a real meal.

I would like to think of myself as a garlic bread in life. I am accessible only to those people who would separate me from my surroundings that are more profound than my personnel existence. I would like only those few people who can actually enjoy a garlic bread even though a pizza sits right next to it to come into my life. I mean i am available to all those who order a meal deal where the pizza is the star, but i open up only to those who realise that a garlic bread actually tastes good.

I know there are many garlic breads in between us. There are so many people who are known as somebody's son/daughter or somebody's wife/husband who is expected to come in as a package. What about them as an individual? I would like to believe that all these garlic breads have atleast one good chef who loves making them if not a whole bakery dedicated to them. Atleast some moments in their existence where they are appreciated for what they are. Where they actually will find a few people who appreciate their existence. Where they are important.

I don;t know how many of you will agree to me on this but i know a few would say in their mind, i will try enjoying a garlic bread next time i am in pizza hut. But dear garlic bread, i want you to remember there is this one me who loves you more than the pizza and i appreciate you for what you are. Dear readers, please remember, even if we are just garlic breads in a whole meal, remember there will be someone out there who loves a garlic bread.
