  magnificently phlegmatic night arrived,

  She adorably loved it when you sincerely applauded her inimitably melodious voice -

  which won over prejudice with its naturally articulate tune of love – mesmerized the

  fabric of humanity towards an optimistically benevolent tomorrow,

  She fabulously loved it when you fearlessly and most gladly traversed with her to the

  places she wanted – rendering her the most vibrantly faithful company that she could

  ever perceive of – and your artistic wittiness ensuring that she merrily jostled towards

  undefeated positivity,

  She unquestionably loved it when you kissed her – and the enamoring sweetness of

  your togetherness – which then propounded a unique proposal infront of the world –

  that which was of the , Religion of humanity ,

  But inspite of all this – she would still hate you if you didn’t say the real thing pretty soon – those majestically unconquerable words to solemnize your sincerity and truthful relationship – those unmatched pearls of joy which were one of the most ultimate mortal gifts in a girl’s existence – those blissfully bonding words that so gloriously resuscitated the various desolate pathways of life – those alphabets which were ofcourse – I Love you .

  26. BECAUSE SHE HAD MADE MY FOOD WITH LOVE .

  It definitely wasn't because of the tantalizingly appetizing aroma that graciously wafted through mundane wisps of nothingness - fomenting a new found hunger to greedily gobble till the very last non - existent bit ,

  It irrefutably wasn't because of the ravishingly royal appearance that engulfed it with a

  princely charm to swoon for - the succulent layers of nutrition that made the tongue

  salivate longingly in anticipation of the tiniest of contact ,

  It intransigently wasn't because of the fact that the day had been overwhelmingly

  exhausted and famished - prompting an ecstatic push for the dining table as soon as

  the footsteps reached the threshold of gregariously sweet home ,

  It dogmatically wasn't because of the sumptuous fillings of delicately dribbling curry that painstakingly cascaded from the main course - suddenly empowering the desire to symbiotically exist with counterpart man on earth ,

  It irretrievably wasn't because of the multitude of culinary embellishments that adorned its periphery - making it resemble a platter served in the choicest of castles and to the most magnificently invincible of Kings and Queens on planet earth ,

  It certainly wasn't because it triggered an optimistically artistic desire of sketching

  unparalleled beauty around you - with its lavishly grand helpings sensitively strewn and blended raw with rustic fruit ,

  It intractably wasn't because of its astoundingly rich nutritious value highly

  recommended by the best in their respective fields - that could wonderfully replenish

  and gorgeously harness the deteriorating bones of aged existence ,

  It truly wasn't because its enamoring recipe had won virtually every conceivable

  International award and felicitation - before pompously filling in the barren recesses of the famished plates laid rather nonchalantly on the dinner table ,

  It irrevocably wasn't because of hype and mystery enshrouding it that had culminated

  perseveringly as the day had unveiled - with inconspicuous tid - bits and chatter from

  family members of what was in store for supper adding exorbitantly to the already

  charged up atmosphere ,

  It earnestly wasn't because it had thrown monotonous strictness out of the window – as the most sonorously disciplined of adults - ravenously indulged into tearing it apart into minuscule pieces of digestion - before eventually swallowing it with unabashed glee ,

  It simply wasn't because it profoundly inspired you to become a poet - interweave and embody verse of the highest perceivable imagination in praise of its compassionate aura ;dainty structure ; texture and transiently adorable charm ,

  It sagaciously wasn't because of the impromptu occasion that transpired because of it

  being gloriously laid - as members of the family rejoiced and reveled in each other's

  company sitting across the table - as the night unfurled in its majestically voluptuous

  color ,

  It obstinately wasn't because of the uninhibited feast that it provided to fantasizing

  entities around - as they experienced sheer tranquility after having consumed it -

  pacifying the most ethereal of their apprehensions with the enrichment of taste ,

  It solidly wasn't because of the spectacular vitality that it permeated the lividly

  exasperated body with - the same physical form which had decayed into a disheveled

  heap a little while ago - out of sheer agony and hunger triggered by the parasitic

  meanness of the mortal world ,

  It undoubtedly wasn't because of the goodwill and extraordinary hospitality that it

  successfully generated - even as the uncalled for neighborhood urchins were

  fantastically drawn towards it and ate it ; as if there wasn't going to be a meal in near

  future ,

  It incorrigibly wasn't because of the flattery and the untainted adoration that diligently

  admired my hard work - to be able to earn such a succulent princely spread of eatery at the fag end of the assiduously hard earned day ,

  It promisingly wasn't because of that contented handshake that came from the other

  side as soon as the meal got over - rendering me in indescribable rhapsody as all

  measly past differences with my friend were now resolved - and this is exactly what a

  thoroughly reinvigorating meal had the power to do ,

  It really wasn't because it was a part of that sporadic celebration that happened in

  moment of joyous triumph - bringing distant family and outsiders irrespective of caste , creed , color and tribe - to relish the marvelously salubrious chunks of home cooked delicacy ,

  But I merrily had it , relished it , romanticized about it , savored it to absolute glory -

  because she had made my food with love .

  The End .
