Amma's tiffin

A postcard of love

Glistened and glowing, with love and care

Wild and flowing, in grins and tears

Dipped in magic, dusted in flavor

Filled with love, layer on layer

Each cut, each burn

Each twist, each turn

Tidy untidy kitchen

Notes unspoken and written

Coins and pennies, notes and cards

Nothing when compared to hugs and hearts

Help of spices to tickle the taste buds

With each spoon and sprinkle, nostalgia rubs

Responsibility and growing up,

Falling and getting up

Memories and longing

All packed and pouring

Mark your calendar, set your alarm

Make room in your heart and your barn

A postcard of love is on the way

Amma's tiffin is on the way

PADE Day 8 Rules

Welcome to Day 8 of PADE

We are already into the second week. It has been an amazing journey with all of you

Theme for today is “Rule”

Here is my interpretation;

We have a set of rules in our house. Spoken and unspoken rules. Most are for the kids ofcourse but there are some for us also. One of the most important one for us is "No yelling/shouting ". I will tell you in all honesty I was not able to follow it religiously, hence I have kept reminders all across the house....Most prominent one is this. Bold and beautiful on my kitchen wall!

PADE Day 5 "Fresh"

Welcome to Day 5 of PADE

Relishing each day of this experience with all of you

Theme for today is “Fresh”

Here is my interpretation;

"Fresh as a daisy"

"Fresh as a daisy"

“Early in the morning I saw you there
Standing tall, standing pretty with a beauty rare
Standing white amongst the sea of green
Standing white with a yellow flair

Smile dwelling on your lips..
White blossoms and grips
Welcoming the early sunrays, reflecting the purity of pure
Petals curled and demure
Just standing there absorbing the morning dew
Colored butterflies creating rainbow around you”
