Old Songs

The feeling of nostalgia

On hearing old songs

Teasing the heart

Into remembering…

An era long gone

But not forgotten..

Buried under a heap

Of new memories

And experiences…

Struggling to surface

Evoking recollections

Of an age of innocence

Freedom and harmony..

Lost… yet appearing

Within reach

Happy…. Yet tinged

With sadness..

Seeming like

Another lifetime…

Another existence….

A Poetic Recipe

On a street corner

At the end of a day

Eating an omelette

The "thattukada" way....

Watching it happen

Is also a treat

Pure visual stimulus

Before you actually eat.....

Breaking an egg

Into a glass

Beating with a spoon,

Forming a frothy mass...

Chopped onion, chillies

And some coriander too

A dash of pepper and salt

To see you through....

Poured on a "tava"

Greasy and hot

Spread out evenly

Like a work of art....

Sizzling and simmering

The smell wafting up

A flick of the wrist

And it is done....

Served on a plate

A steamy delight

You savour the aroma

Before your first bite.....

Spicy and fluffy

Looking so tempting

You can wait no longer

But tuck right in....
