Late enough to be lunch.

Only sweet things do not fill you up, dear friend
Make breakfast, lunch and dinner on time too.-
बैठे थे,चार लोग,
बेवजह चाय में चीनी रहे थे घोल,
माँ भी आज थोड़ी अशांत थी,
पापा की खामोशी भी आज बेजान थी,
भाई की भी आज भूख गुमनाम थी,
मेरे मन की दुविधा भी नहीं आज आम थी
पहली बार घर से बाहर जा रहा था,
मंजिल की खोज में,छोड़ अपने अपनों को,
पुरे करने थे खुद और उनके सपनो को,
आज विदाई की वही घडी थी,
इसलिए आज नाश्ते की टेबल भी शांत पड़ी थी
शांत पड़ी थी.

Sundays were the days when we turned our kitchen into a laboratory. Only on a sunday, we had the time to experiment with our taste buds. Breakfast was the first milestone. We always agreed to disagree on what to eat. While l prepared our usual ginger tea, we used to discuss what we could eat for our breakfast. With a yes-no battle of choices that day, we finally prepared our favorite sunny side up with toast. He poured extra butter on his toast, while I stayed away even from a spoonful. I never liked butter. But, I loved his smile which accompanied every one of his buttery bites.
Now, when I miss him, I too add that extra butter and taste his smile in every bite.-
