A pan full of

Cooked food

 

A plate full of

Plain rice.

 

I asked him

About the

Delicious dish

He had made -

Scrambled eggs

With fried onions,

Potatoes, peas and

Tomatoes.

 

Why he didn't mix it

With the rice?

Why he's having

Plain rice?

 

My son who's a good cook

And loves cooking, said:

Ma, I've had enough of eggs.

I just want to have some

Plain rice.

 

I smiled thinking,

He's gone on me.

When I was in my twenties,

I used to love cooking, making

Various dishes, experimenting.

 

Now, just like me,

He's also taken a liking to

Plain rice with no add-ons.

 

Over the years,

I've observed

That in many

Ways, my son

Is like me,

Lives simply....

Loves simplicity.

 

Though our zodiacs

Are different, he's an

Aquarian, I'm a Libran

But we both are

Air Signs, seeking

Peace, beauty,

Harmony, aesthetics

And creativity.
