Street foods

Our streets are covered,

with sweet and oily foods,

rich aromas that appeal,

our brain, through nostrils. 

Fried Samosas, to sweet Jalebis,

steamed momo, chaaps & pakoras,

with many rolls, tikka and kebabs,

available in veg and non-veg options. 

A symphony of dishes, that unleash,

a burst of flavors, into our taste buds, 

and we rush, with growling stomach, 

to satiate our hunger, fulfilling cravings. 

Even in simple outing, we seek snacking,

from jhalmuri, chaats and panipuris, 

fruit juices and lassi joints, would quench thirst,

while fast food stalls, provides for our belly. 

Yet, we forget, in those daily quests,

our health concerns, the consequences, 

from mild indigestion, to serious illnesses,

likes of diabetes, hypertension & heart diseases. 

For, those were the vibrant streets,

a place for pleasure and fun treats, 

with hidden costs, that we may incur,

paid with our health and finances. 

So, let's be mindful of what we eat,

tread carefully, and balance our feast,

health is a treasure, needed to be protected,

and not lose it, for fleeting indulgence.
