Bitter Sweet

In the land of the South, where memories reside,

A bitter gourd tale, with love as our guide.

Amidst nostalgic moments, a mother's grace,

Her culinary art is a cherished embrace.

From the kitchen's warmth, aromas would rise,

A Mother adorned her culinary prize.

Bitter gourd, a treasure, both bitter and green,

Transformed by her touch, a sight to be seen.

With tender care, she'd slice it with ease,

Removing bitterness, her secret recipe's tease.

Into the pan, it would sizzle and dance,

Infused with flavours, a divine romance.

Each bite carried stories of days gone by,

Of childhood mischief and laughter's high.

The bitter taste, a lesson profound,

To savour life'flavoursrs, both sweet and profound.

For in bitter moments, resilience is found,

Strength and growth, in each bitter round.

Like life's challenges, bitter gourd imparts,

An opportunity to deepen our hearts.

Through love and nostalgia, it taught us well,

That bitter flavours, too, have tales of digestion in South Indian kitchens,

Where memories of unnatural mother's love, a treasure to savour.

And in the realm of health, bitter gourd shines,

With benefits abundant, in its bitter confines.

Aiding digestion, keeping blood sugar in check,

A gift from nature, a healthful peck.

So let's savour each bitter-sweet bite,

Embracing memories, both dark and light.

For in the taste of bitter gourd, we find,

A love that nourishes body, heart, and mind.

In South Indian style, with love's tender care,

Bitter gourd's essence, forever we share.

A culinary legacy, a mother's embrace,

With nostalgia and health, forever in grace.
