I am kitchen,
Person who runs kitchen,
Is extra ordinary intelligent .
Indian home kitchen is run by woman,
Her observation skills are superb,
Her intelligence has no comparison,
To formally degree holder.
She not only runs kitchen,
She runs university ,
She is good in mathematics,
How much flour and vegetables
For how many people she figures
Out in minutes.
She is good in physics,
She has precise sense of temperature,
and pressure, energy required,
By every big small apparatus in kitchen.
She is also good in chemistry,
For her every dish preparation in kitchen ,
Is no less than micro chemical experiment.
She is good and efficient manager,
She is expert in multi tasking,
In less time she manages,
To prepare so many dishes .
She serves every one food dot in time,
She is good economist,
She is capable of feeding the whole family,
on a limited budget.
She is good psychologist,
She cooks according to mood of family,
For her cooking is not just a skill ,
It is a beautiful blend of love, responsibility,
And sacrifice.
Unfortunately some ignorant people,
Often comment,
She does not know English,
She is not a working woman,
She does not have any formal training,
But they forget ,
Woman who runs the kitchen
Is no less than any trained manager,
Often, she is even more capable.
Some people have no realisation,
This power of patience and love which woman has,
Cannot be taught through any book or degree.
Whole family gets fresh, hot, delicious food,
Three times a day ,
They just think it is a“food”…
It is God’s blessing received at home.
Friends please,
Before you eat food,
Think for moment,
And thank your mother ,
Wife, sister, or daughter ,
Who, with her immense love ,
And thoughtful managing skill,
of running kitchen ,
Give family more than food.
All these traits ,
She has acquired through experience ,
Sacrifice dedication and love for family,
With help of these traits,
She is turning home to heaven.
Alas people could understand,
Naming her as house manager is pity,
She is much above that,
She is back bone of family,
Her contributions,
Cant be measured in money ,
or expressed in words.
She turns a house into a home.
She turns home to heaven.
