Life is like marmalade. Bitter sweet. Life is equally like "Mixture", a south-Indian snack, made with crispies in different shapes, fried or roasted, pounded rice and puffed rice, cashew nuts and peanuts, brightly coloured-sugar coated 'saunf '--aniseed,crunchy and crisp curry leaves, all tossed in salt, chilly powder, ' hing' and other spices.
Anything one writes will definitely have to do with life, and so be sometimes bitter-sweet, and sometimes like mixture. And if one is down in the dumps, feeling low or ill, one may not be in the mood to spread a spoonful of marmalade on a toast and have it with a lovely, exhilarating cup of perfectly made Darjeeling tea. Nor to munch the mixture down to the last grain. But then, one will recover, sooner than later, and want marmalade on toast, or mixture or both !
One hopes those visiting this blog want to polish off to the last word! The windows of "Marmalade & Mixture" will forever remain open to allow all the cultures of the world to blow in with their wonderful ideas.
