Comedy of Khichdi

Monsoon was there in the city! In this desert where there is a dearth of rainfall, pollutant-free air and emotions…these few days we let the city breathe, shed tears of love, roar with thunder and dance with drizzle.

‘Dalia khichdi it is today’ my help declared after returning from the night shift!

‘Come on…the rains are here!’ I groaned.

After the bowl of khichdi, I dozed off and heard hubby calling me in a deep sleep…

‘Would you have piping hot khichdi with me’

I rejected it outright.

Waking up, I was taken by surprise!

Hot kachori it was!

Little surprises come wrapped with love!
