The grand perils of cooking
the steaming hot khichdi in the making:
to stir and when to stir
the eternal dilemma while tasting.
The proportion of spices is the
door to its fame,
if gone wrong, will make it lame.
One pinch less or one pinch more
that salt is the king to the core.
To cook or not to cook?
my mind approaches me every day
the fork and the knife
awaiting at the table
answers without delay.
To feed your mind
and stomach of your dears
a day off is always so rare.
A mother must cook
if not a wife
a smile beams on your face
when in a full stomach
your child cheers in grace...
