Alone

Today is Saturday and I'm at home all ALONE. My husband is in office working hard. I cannot ask him to come home at the same time I can't stop myself from missing him. That is when the idea of writing a poem has come to my mind. This is my first poem, hope it express how I feel.  Alone on Thursday Alone on   Saturday Alone in every way Alone I pass the whole day Alone I sit Alone I grit Alone I eat Alone I tweet Alone I think Alone I blink Alone I drink Alone I wink Alone I lie Alone I sigh Alone I wry Alone I cry Alone I agonize Alone I justifies Alone I vandalize Alone I organize   Alone I rhyme Alone I tried for the first time Alone I sublime Alone all the time Cheers, Vrinda

Healthy Breakfast

"Honey, they say ( weather forecast) it is going to rain today, I shall go by car" is the first thing I hear on a Saturday morning. That is when I realized that this Saturday is a working day for my husband. Then I dragged myself from the bed and reached balcony to wave bye to him. Later I went to freshen up, splashed cold water on my face which completely brought me back in to this world. After shower when I reached kitchen that is where the biggest challenge of the day begins 'Breakfast'... the thing is we prefer not just a breakfast but a 'Healthy breakfast'. I usually cook Dosa, Idly and upma in the mornings for breakfast, which are only served to my husband.  I consume very less oil while cooking them, but I prefer eating fruits over them. Mostly my breakfast includes fruits, Tropicana juice and small portion of dry fruits. Dry fruits : Helps reducing weight, as these are the foods associated with lower Body mass index (BMI). These
