Kachori Shop
The friendly neighbourhood "kachori" shop
Selling piping hot 'kachoris' and potato curry
People don't get impatient waiting long minutes
It's a Sunday they're in no great hurry
Bare wooden benches and tables
Seated the hungry in-house eaters
Well-to-do on motorbikes wait
Sitters get first service though of Lesser God
Savouring refreshing 'kachori' and curry
Summer morning has them sweating
The jeans and tee shirt clad
Don't complain they're patiently waiting
Sales counter with a glass case in front
Displaying sweetmeats cheap but delectable
It's a melting pot of differences
Buying 'kachoris' there widens my senses

Author's Notes/Comments:
'Kachori' = Small flour 'chapattis' fried in vegetable oil.The 'kachori' shop is a minute's walk from my home.I oft enjoy the food for breakfast.The owner oft forgets how many 'kachoris' one has eaten & depends on the eater's version

Delight is the word to describe learning about another culture and the favorite foods. Lesser God? There is a movie and possibly a book named "Children of a Lesser God" - I never saw or read it, but now I understand the reference more because of your poem - thanks ~allets
Children of a Lesser God
Children of a Lesser God was written by Mark Medoff & made into an American movie in 1986.The original idea is from Tennyson "Idylls of the King" I have sent the quotation in PM.
