Thought for the weekend

With songs in full blast in honour of  World Cup action,
this weekend is
sweaty and feverish already.

Lovers of popcorn turn to real food now. The disappointment can be 
horrific. You can pad your stomachs with a bit of jeera. You do not want

Best wishes for April

Yonder is April Weeks of promise  and tender winds Whether at noon or  hurried evenings the common Raven will  flap wings for her children to seek shelter, for cloud's darkest hangs precariously, and narcissus only grins Wild narcissus in April bloom
