Inspirations for Bollywood

This photo  captioned LIFE = Cofee + VadaPao, was posted by my FB and  photoblogger  friend Joshi Daniel.   This isn't  the sort of photo he normally  posts, and I do not know if this is actually Joshi Daniel , or his friend.

The more important ingredients here are really the coffee and the Vada Pao, the former possibly being a wonderful traditionally made south Indian filter coffee, and the latter , a  Mumbai speciality, that now figures in the "40 Mumbai Foods we cannot live without".....

Wonder what the coffee thinks.....

Coffee,
waiting patiently,
halfheartedly watching
through the glass,
her once loyal Pao,
now being led astray
by the hot
voluptuous Vadaa
aided
in no uncertain terms
by the
item number chutney

Harking back
to the days
when she and the Pao
enjoyed
a dunking time together,
she sighs
and says ,
"What a life, man,
what a life !"

Smell the Coffee !

Some photos say a thousand words. Some inspire a few words, twelve thousand miles away.
A comment inspired by Sylvia's latest photopost !






A thousand busy souls
up at dawn,
stretching,
smiling,
at a dark sky
shutting off
the alarm
that says
Welcome to a new day.




And she
springs up,
warm in the kitchen,
toasting here,
boiling there,
percolating,
a few wonderful cups,
bringing a flavour
to a semi dark dawn.

Curtains apart,
she glances
at the sky
and inhales....

The aroma
of the coffee
rises
palely pink
in steam
through the sky
saying,
"Sylvia,
Good morning !
Great coffee , aint it ?"....
