Like a child, I would like to believe
That there are unicorns and pot of gold
At the end of a rainbow
The beautiful dreams, giving hope and
Lightening up the life with wonder
Are not all gone with the start of adult life
The sugar cookies are still magical for me
The serpent still poses a horror
In my mind, I see the world like a child does
All fantastic, wondrous and amazing

How wonderful and charismatic
Like the sweetest rose in the garden
She collected hearts like stamps
But not one was selected to be her sweetheart
Her standard was sky high so nobody came even close
She remained single all her life
Looking for the perfect swain

Have you heard the report of zombies spotted
They are every where you look
Here and there, you cannot escape them anywhere
Be careful you don’t bump into them
For then there is a danger that they will trample you
Not aware of where they are
Or where they are headed, so engrossed they are
Holding their cell phone in their hand
Be it a nanny or a zany, it makes no difference
Mindlessly staring and watching the screen of the phone
Tripping, bumping or falling, yet staring
On that brightly lit phone.

The kids were going to make the weather chart today. Mrs Johnson was a great and passionate teacher and would get completely involved in the projects of her Kindergarten class. She had asked that the parents give each kid temperature reading from a random day from last six months and they would make the chart according to that. The aim of the project was to build awareness about the weather and to create a feeling of empathy among the kids for people who have little or no means to shield them from the extreme weather conditions.
They were a great bunch of kids. Enthusiastic and willing to learn. Mrs Johnson felt like an oracle when she had to predict the weather conditions for next week, but it was a game they played to learn about the sort of weather that they could experience. And the weather chart showed a sunny weekend, perfect for the fundraising brunch being held on Saturday.

A slice of red velvet cake, topped with cream cheese
Sends me in the cloud of bliss, ignoring the need to
Keep a count of the calories I eat or food I should avoid
What is it with good food that makes people abandon
Their carefully crafted diet plans and embrace these
Tasty morsel with the recklessness of a hippie when
Given the free run of the choice of drugs to indulge

Mrs Kangaroo had made tacos for lunch today
As baby roo loved to have them on his return
From the school he attended with piglet and friends
They would be tired and hungry after school but
Happy to be out of the school for the day, today
Winnie wanted to join the taco party but he was busy
The light bulb in his cottage had burned out
So he was going to ask Christopher Robin to get it changed
Luckily the job was done on time and all of them
Gathered at Mrs Kanga’s place to enjoy the taco lunch.

A beautiful plate of fresh salad sprinkled with herbs and grated cheese can be a replacement for lunch any day of the week. I love the pre-prepared boxes available in most grocery stores, all ready to eat with a small plastic ford thoughtfully provided in the same package. I specially love those which have a small sachet of nuts to spread on the top. This gives more nutrition to the salad and also satisfies the palate with adding a crunch to the meal. Another easy and nutritious snack/ lunch replacement are the yogurt packs, with fruit and crunchy nuts etc included. I do have some reservations about the sweetened yogurt as the sugar content is quite high.
Round off this meal with a cup of either hot coffee or tea or you can get a drink of cold water or soda. I really don’t get sodas as the caloric count of soda is very high and the carbonated drink makes it the ideal vehicle to be absorbed rapidly into the bloodstream and rise the glucose levels. Even diet sodas are not free from their own harmful effects.
When watching calories it is best to stay away from hot food, at least during mid-day meal because hot food like paninis, pizzas of burgers cause an increase in appetite and we eat more than required.

I am sharing a very poignant Rubbaiyat by Omar Khayyam;
“The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on
Nor all thy piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line
Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it”
