A Tea and a Tree

Breezy evening almost setting in

Broad leaves of Badam trees

Sign about snack time

 

Hot tea with Bhaji!

Ah! A time to tickle our taste buds

Wait not, grab the Gota!

 

Head to eat the mouth–watering snack

 Along With a spicy hot tangy sauce

Finishing off with licking fingers

 

Not to miss bonda ! & vada !

Try one new each day

Niche of taste, mesmerise you

All you love is, just one more please!    

 

Flavour, taste, and a dash of freshness

Adds the badam leaves

In which all is served

 

No to plates, no to papers

All done with leaves of taste

Badam in backyard, yield to all

Next to plantain, serving snacks

 

Dried or fresh they feed the best

Just wash it once

Fallen or plucked, the leaves of badam

Used as plates from the tree

Standing tall by the tea stall

Serving all Pakodas & TEA!



(Badam is a Indian term for Almonds,  Bhaji, gota, bonda, vada and pakoda are the Indian deep fried snacks)
