Gastronomy Then And Now

A hygiene-domain was ruling then To breed our childhood in austere cuisine.. Punishable by code of that domain Being unwashed and as well eating out.. Inviting was ritual specials alone Hotels, motels, mess-stalls all scarce In scurrying selling snack sellers In heterodox houses sparse Extended all..family, cooking, compulsion Enforced to a life gastronomical Exempted women all from being 'outgoing' Changed time, trend and the vendors.. Behind the dwindling evening shades When the sun conceals himself There comes a maestro-voice of a sale Idiaappam, Chapathi, Godumaiputtu.. Else everything and accompanied curries.. When the curtain raised for the sun up Meals, tiffin all cycling around busy What though hygiene-domain fallen What though dying is home-cooking Life 's happy, obese in a necessity-domain
