While eating they can share their foods while I can’t. mean they can eat in a single plate & with happy & excitement with competition mood they consume the food. From my childhood I am avoiding to eat in a single plate with two or more person. Some time they touch my dal or rice & I feel why he touched my food? Also some time if rice is little cold they take it with their hand instead of chatu. & I always says them use the chatu instead of ur hand.
Both from a hygienic, occult and spiritual point of view it is not good to eat from the same plate unless it is your child or someone very intimate. People do not understand anything about the subtle and occult interchange of forces hence they say what they say. It is no point trying to convince them. However as friends we must respect our friend’s sensibilities. As friends they should not do things that you don’t feel comfortable about. No other reason should be needed.
Affectionately,
