The precious pods-Erakina

close-up of green cardamoms

The best of memories,

Lie encased in a pod.

The pod of a spice, 

With an earthly delight,

And an aromatic essence,

That recalls it all!

close-up of cardamom tea

The rainy eve of antakshari,

With a cup of tea,

And some ecstasy,

Tied to a childhood memory.

And who would forget,

The mystical essence,

In a bowl of kheer,

And the plate of biryani,

That beholds the bead.

And the savoury spice,

Continues to delight,

With its flavours, sweet and spice!

Cardamoms for the cuisines,

Cardamoms for memories,

Cardamoms for health,

And cardamoms for life,

Who wouldn’t love,

The precious pods of the floral spice,

That beholds it all,

From memories to the culinary delights!
