“So how’s life without wife?”

I asked Mr. A the other day

A sparrow told me very discreetly

His wife had left him on a whim

But Mr. A appeared quite gay

And answered me cheerfully

“Oh Ms G! This is life you see

No bully , no fear, no mess

Only freedom and joy no less

But I do miss though if I may say so

No…no not my wifey dearie 

but her delicious rajma curry”

The snoopy birdie informed me this morning that Mrs. A has returned as unceremoniously as she had left and the whiff wafting through her kitchen window guarantees a lip smacking meal of spicy rajma curry with extra garnish.

This post is to do away with the Monday blues.

Enjoy!!

Footnote: Rajma is kidney beans. Rajma curry is a curry made of kidney beans which if prepared by the books can compete with any Indian hot and spicy non vegetarian dish and can be had with rice, naan, roti.
