Flavours of Hunger
Flavours of Hunger


Once again after days
I can feel the pangs of hunger…
Walking down the street
Crowded and clouded
With flavors of the evening
Bustling on either side
Greedily they gobble down
Sizzling hot fried snacks
Within two or three bites…
With eyes blurred with thirst
And my tongue stuck to gums
The flavors of hunger
Follow my staggering steps..
Moments of hunger now and then
Make me realize strongly
What money means
To a hungry stray dog
That patiently waits for
Someone to share their bite.
