Poems ,Stories and lot more .. By Maneesha Purandare

Woke up this morning,yearning for a paratha. Hmmm,"shall i stuff it with muli,gobi chutney or batata?" In came the daughter ,said she likes her pastry spicy, So in went some spinach ,onions and green chillies so mighty!! The birthday boy my son, shared his pastry dilemma, "Why don't you make a sweet pastry for me my dear mumma?" "Oh ,I am ageing and need more protein," said my guilty healthy mind. So off came the paneer with it's prowess to bind!! My husband ,a cool cucumber that he is, Said,"Will have bit of everything ,be it coconut ,paneer or cheese! Right the menu was set , and a checklist done!! Started looking for my phone in places more than one!! Grabbed my photoprops some lemons and a plum..

Ray of hope Walking in the woods , lost in the wilderness Plodding wearily in the barbed bushes  Murky thicket , engulfed in a smothered smoke Unfathomable forest leading to an  immeasurable walk. Rivers of trouble strewn all along Shadows of yesteryears haunting her along.  Whipping through the trees  Comes the spangling light Resplendent in its own way and spreading delight.  Aureate glow absorbing the darkness  Happiness now saddled in the protective harness. .
