Sadhya – The Full Meal

Sadhya – The Full Meal

The big green banana leaf, Glistened in the light. Nicely washed and cleaned, All set to get decked. In comes the creamy kheer, Towards the bottom right, Followed by the vegetable curries, Adorning the top portion. Pickles, chips and pappad, Take their position on the...

Kitchen Queen

Hey! Have you seen me kids? Well, I guess no. Let me tell you my story, I am sure you will know me more. Passed down from generations, I carried memories And emotions in plenty, Alongside the spices. The angry and anguish, Were vented out When the mustard spluttered...
