Savor The Food

-

Steaming rice…
Hot Pepper Rasam
Holding a Papad to munch
Grabbing a morsel quickly
Gulping down the mouth
I  never knew till I took into my mouth
That I was so hungry
Food never tasted so good

After days of desiccation
With fever killing all taste buds
This  moment of appetizing
Gives a feel …truly…heavenly
How true…when everything falls on palate
Never I could realize…
How valuable you are
How much I should cherish you
Being most fulfilling part of life
Food…True….even today
You are most undisputed king of all our requirements

How true….hunger rules
Whether it’s your instincts
Or your principal



*This is the spontaneous hunger poetry...after 6 days of high fever today afternoon when I took food I really felt heavenly)

Nothing better than food you missed after a fever. I always have a longing for Gin and Bitter Lemon when i feel ill, good job it is not that often. Nicely done.

The first meal after being ill is always a special one. You have written that theme well!

I could taste a full south Indian sapad :) Vivid description of food. I liked these lines, especially-
'Food…True….even today
You are most undisputed king of all our requirements'

Never thought of how good food can taste after you have not eaten for a while for whatever reason. Sounds like you were quite ill--hope this is well in the past! I enjoyed tasting along with you here.

Friends are like memories

Friends are like memories Some good… some bad Some sweet…   some mad True you can choose them But it’s they who decide…. to stay or leave Friendships are like cyclic process You meet …you mingle You treat…you part No one is permanent No one is life long They keep coming and going Some come for a season Some come with a reason Remember…they are like memories In fact …with time, friends become memories You evolve… Your thought evolve… Your memories evolve Bad may become good Good may be become bad…. Seasons do change…reasons may differ Remember… Friends are friends forever Friends remain in memories forever For Poets United Poetry Pantry #293

Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din?????

Mukesh is my favorite singer. And when I am young….specially during teenage days I use to madly listen to his songs. There is a kind of magic in his voice with inexplicable sadness…. That use to take me altogether to a different world. There are n numbers of Mukesh songs….which I know by heart and can sing along! But this one is like the ultimate…..Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din! Whenever I listen… there will be definitely tears in my eyes…. by the time the song is complete! The voice, the lyrics and the music….no match at all! And today I don’t know why? after long... long... time I just felt like listening to it! All those …who are sensitive at heart can listen and enjoy! Kyonki…. ”Baadhe saukyamane bhaavana raanevoy! AA yeruke nischalaanandamoy…Brahamaanandamoy”! Learn Telugu if you want to follow it!
