For Sita (Poem)

Modern steel sculpture of Rama and Sita, Tapovan, near Nasik

Sita, if you meet her,
Greet her, do beseech her
She’s unbridgeable, unmovable,
Serene

Sita, none is sweeter
Bird of paradise, Demeter
She’s slender like the ether
And tensile like the steel

Sita, be my preacher
Tell me when and how to meet a
Such a lovely doe-eyed creature
Swimming fish-eyed in the stream

But it’s a thousand miles to reach her
From her stomach to beneath her
It’s impossible to meet her,
In between

N: You have to eat a whole load of beans…the n you can be gassy like Omr.

the way of the dodo: nonsense, 100g of spinach has 2.2g of protien 100g of beans will give you 10gs of protien. you need 70gs a day. fish or chicken generally has around 35g of protein per 100g. http://en.wikip edia.org/wiki/S pinach#Nutritio n...

Omr: Nope. Beans and/or spinach give you more than enough. You are just desperate to find an excuse to eat meat because you like the taste and it is an established tradition. No problem, continue on eating meat, just admit you are an absolute...

Trishaw Economics (4)

Firaz: Not all of them run with the dispatch guys. Most now run independently because they just get more hires off the road. People are more inclined to jump in a meter taxi these days. That’s what I hear.
