Prandial Plaint

Prandial Plaint

My love, I love your breasts, I love your nose.
I love your accent and I love your toes.
I am your slave. One word, and I obey.
But please don't slurp your morning brew that way.

Vikram Seth


I really like Vikram Seth's poetry. For some reason I just imagined the whole "Indian" way of drinking tea; where they pour it on the saucer and slurp in up from there.

You know what I found out - Seth's Father owns the Bata Shoe company. Yeah, found it quite funny :)

I shall go to the library later today and grab a book of his - and a library card
