Better Taste

Yesterday I found some small sweet oranges . This is something I loved back then. I bought some and shared with my kids..


'' mmm not that great'' ..they did not like it.


Then I realised taste is not just something you feel in your taste buds. There are some tastes that has eternal bonds with our nostalgic memories.


This small oranges reminds me the times of my childhood...while we were travelling to see my grand parents there were some vendors got in the bus at certain bus stands on the way. Of course it was allowed at that time and still it is happening more or less.


My father's home town was little far way. About three hours by bus and it was the most exciting trip for me as a little kid since I get to play and feel the warmth of the beautiful village etc.


Smell of oranges digged the  sweet  memories of my childhood ..that is the reason for me to taste this better .


My girls will have different things to remember and taste better ..one day..I truly wish for them so.

Just to fill my heart






Last bits of spices..

Curries become bland

No wonder they fought

for Cinnamon in my land...

..Night get lightened

 for Christmas or new year

Why all my heart gets dark

with eyes are filled with tear..


Dark sky , misty cold

no bright sun it's gloom

before get worse, pack my bags

Oh, time to go back home.
