The Face Pack Masala Poem by Prem Nizar Hameed

"What is this curry? " I eagerly asked my wife

"How is it? She asked me a counter question

"Wow! What a delicious dish! "

"This is Face Pack Masala" she proudly replied

"Face Pack Masala? What is the recipe? "

"Ask your daughter for it"

My daughter intervened and put it:
"Dad, I was preparing my face pack,
And left the balance quantity in the bowl.
Mom took it and altered it for curry"

"Oh my goodness, I had it. What she added? "

"I added a Green Chilly, a few Curry Leaves,
And some Onion, that's all" wife answered me

"Then tell me what are the ingredients of your
Face pack? I turned to my daughter

"The mixture of some Boiled potatoes, Curd, Milk,
Wheat powder, Rice powder and Urad dal (Uzhunnu) "
She revealed the ingredients.

I went into a pensive mood.
Both of them unitedly asked me with anxiety:
"What happened? What are you thinking so deeply? "

"How a Beautician, a Master Chef
And a Poet come under the same roof! "
