Murukku and "I"

Sometimes a single picture, makes your stomach feel full. For details, see this .

(photo of yummy stuff by Kavi Arasu)



Perfect spicy petals
whispering
with the wild whorls,
on the recent
hot experience,
while the traditional
spirals
brush off
their disapproving
modern glances
on
their old-style
slightly thorny surface.





Firmly holding on,
to the
maiden name,
"Murukku",
while the rest
of modern types
call themselves
"Crunchies"
on Facebook .....

And the
poetic marathoner,
shuts his wallet,
takes a bite,
and types in a
Facebook status,
saying,
"Eat it,
while the "I" is there;
you will
soon learn
what
to perform everyday,
when the "I"
disappears
from the mind......
