Awake before the dawn
she rushes to the kitchen
washes the surfaces
cleans the stove counter
& up goes the pressure cooker
Rice & Roti
Dal & sabji
she prepares it all
breakfast then lunch then snacks then dinner
it is like a cycle , nothing stops ever
Always in a hurry,
she can never be sorry
perfection is her power
she prepares dishes 
one after the other
and somehow the day just ends
as she retires for the day
if she mistakenly  tells "what a tough day!"
everyone smirks & say
"what !! You were resting at home all day!"
the world just giggles
 & easily forgets her delicious kitchen chronicles !
