My Dolly,
Morning
I see you
Evening
I see you
Still I
Can't
Get to see
Enough of you
Wish
In the noon
You could
Pop in from
School
For me
To see
A bit more
Of you
:-)
(Dedicated to my daughter Kochi who's like a doll to me :-)
Nowadays, she calls herself Gisu (G pronounced as in Glue and eesoo) and me a rhyming name Misu (meesoo) as she misses me in school :-)

Every Day
Every day
I have to
Inspire
Myself
To cook
As there's
Nobody else
To cook
Wrote this thinking about my cooking routine. Hubby's too busy with work to cook. Children are too busy with studies to cook. So I'm the only one who has to spare the time to cook. Back home in India, we all used to take turns to cook (I, my mother, my father and our visiting relatives) and so cooking didn't seem to be a chore and I used to love cooking :-) Now it has become a daily drudgery, having cooked here for more than 15 years and so when I want to have some food made by someone else (kisi aur ke haath ka khana), then I have to bank on takeaways and home deliveries.

Know
Does
Anyone
Know
How I’ll
Die?
Maybe
God knows
How I’ll die
But he
Won't
Tell me
How I’ll
Die...
Why?
'Cause
He's very
Secretive
That's why!
;-)
