My Sambalpur: Foodie’s delight


Wafting aroma made its way to my nose,
I traced it to  Disco Gupchup stall. 

It titillated my tongue making saliva flow,
While I gulped plateful of spicy panipuri balls.

I scooted my moped through sleepy lanes,
And made a halt at Baidhnath Chakk.

“Mis”ordered green bhaang kulfi,
Resulting serpentile walk across Saan Sadak.

I sank onto a bench at sweet shop of Nanda Pada,
Relishing  a pair of Gulabjamuns.

Then went down to stair of ring road,
Gazing at placid water and full moon. 

And slowly munching that king sized paan,
Waiting the hangover to calm down.

This is how I called it a day,
With lovely food at my lovely town.
