A soul food that soothes my palette,
Nicely cooked rice
Mashed well and mixed with curd,
Freshly sliced raw mangoes
Tempered with spices and oil,
Oh! My mouth waters as I pen this,
This is indeed,
A soul food that soothes...
Moist rice flour,
Mixed with salt,
Layered within a cylinder,
With grated coconut breaking the layers,
Puffing like a steam engine,
It gets cooked.
Slender and soft,
When paired with spicy kadala curry*
Is indeed a bliss to the eyes
And a treat...
Songs are a solace,
To broken hearts,
And to the ones in solitude.
As I hum through one such gem,
I learn the lessons of life.
Oh! How beautifully said.
The connect that it makes to life,
Through the lotus and...
Thoughts and words,
When they join in a covalent bond,
A beautiful compound called,
Poetry is born.
The nature, rains and experiences,
Act as catalyst
In the experiment with the styles,
And the mood of the poet.
The calm and quiet surroundings,
Mixed...
Those sultry summer vacation days,
When all cousins got together
And played throughout the day.
None cared about rest or food,
As playing was the only thing good.
At the evening fell, and birsa retreated,
We, the hungry mortals dragged...
Born in China,
You became a globetrotter.
You are an artist's delight,
And a writer's pal.
You carried words soaked
In love and hatred.
You were a witness,
To several treaties too.
Pacts were signed on your surface,
And remained sealed forever.
You created...
Universal brotherhood,
Tireless help from all over,
Open minded thinking,
Peace, that prevails,
In every waft of air.
Ah! Ain't such a world beautiful? Alas! Utopia it is.
Imagine, a day in such a world,
Where fearlessly roams,
Our mind and soul.
Alas!...
