Tea time in Mumbai
A chai ani glucotse biscut affair mainly
The grownups opt for the biscuits
Easier to store on the saucer
My cousin and I reach for the messier hot mix
Charmuri, sev, moth, and hot stuff
My little cousin might have been bored
Or OCD, or just bored and 7 years old
On a white paper napkin
He had the ingredients lined up
The white charmuri, the brown moth
The golden sev, in separate piles
And he scooped them up
One at a time and ate them
Individually
I asked him if he liked them better that way
"Yes and No," he said
"Ah!" I thought
"I have never heard that one before"
